2) King Cobra

Just the name sends a shudder through my spleen. The king cobra is not a guy to frig about with. They are found predominantly in South East Asia and grow up to almost 6m in length, that’s about the length of 40 cans of Strongbow laying end to end, this guy is fierce.
The king cobra’s toxins affect the victim’s central nervous system, leading to severe pain, blurred vision, vertigo, drowsiness, and eventually paralysis. If the envenomation is serious, it progresses to cardiovascular collapse and the victim falls into a coma. Death follows due to respiratory failure, sometimes as quickly as 30 minutes.

Just 7 ml of king cobra venom can kill an elephant.
