The Deadly Pit Viper | Snakebite Week | National Geographic Wild UK

The Indo-pacific is home to some of the world's fastest striking vipers, enormous pythons, and the king of cobras. The Malayan pit viper specifically is responsible for hundreds of snake bites every year. With its fast-acting strategy of ejecting hemotoxic venom which causes severe pain, extensive necrosis, and massive internal bleeding, this snake is surely one of the most dangerous in the wild.
