What does VS mean in ZOOLOGY

Although a number of species are widely accepted as highly venomous, the African Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) has been confirmed as possessing the highest venom toxicity. Its LD50 value for mice is 0.025mg/kg, which makes it up to 10x more venomous than any other snake species in the world.

No. While there are over 600+ species of notoriously venomous snakes in the world, not all snakes possess this ability. The majority of non-venomous snakes are classified as members of the Colubridae family, but even within this group some specialized adaptations have evolved that allows them to inject small amounts of toxin into their prey or assailant.

Yes! Cases have been documented where individuals known as ‘snake charmers’ have developed a partial resistance or immunity to certain species of vipers through years of exposure and regular handling. However,in general terms it is not recommended to try and test one’s luck against a Venomous Snake bite!

Most Venomous Snakes use special fangs located near their front teeth that is connected with a duct that carries toxins from glands located near their jawbone or lower skull. When they bite into an animal or human these glands release wide array of compounds including neurotoxins, procoagulants and hemotoxins depending on which particular type of snake it happens to be.

First and foremost you should remain calm and minimize your movements as much as possible in order to slow down the spread of venom within your body and seek medical attention immediately if possible. It is also important to clean any wound with antiseptic agent before applying a tourniquet if necessary in order prevent further blood loss or infection until proper medical aid can be obtained.

Depending on which species you happen to be bitten by you may experience various types symptoms ranging from bruising, pain, swelling at site location, severe nausea and vomiting along with paralysis and even death due to neurotoxins present within some species like Cobra's etc.

It is highly unlikely since most snakes rely on visual cues when deciding when to attack its prey or defend itself from potential threat and therefore they rarely ever attack while someone sleeps unless provoked in some way - although there are exceptions such as certain nocturnal species like Boomslang's etc.

Generally speaking you should always wear protective gear when out exploring areas where Venomous Snakes may be found such as tall grasses, thick forested regions, rocky crevices etc. Also try keeping clear from erratic hand motions such as reaching quickly towards suspected area or poking around with sticks etc.
