People may think that the most poisonous snake in the world would be between the Coral or death Adder. In fact it is the Sea Snake. A Sea Snake’s venom is fifty times more toxic than the King Cobra’s. Nobody knows why they don’t but not all the times do Sea Snakes inject their venom when they bite. However, when they do, the poison effects are slow and twenty five percent of the bites can be fatal. Fishermen are more likely to be victim and are to be very careful. Obviously, because of the difference in habitat, is it pretty likely that contact isn’t intentional. Most accidents occur by stepping on these Sea Snakes and handling them without caution. That is why snake usually bite; defending themselves when they feel harassed.
