Golden Lancehead
According to some studies, this snake has one of the most lethal venoms ever recorded. A bite from a golden lancehead has a 7% chance of causing death, and even those who receive medical attention still have a 3% chance of passing away. It is possible for the snake’s venom to trigger kidney failure, muscle necrosis, bleeding in the brain, and internal bleeding.

Egyptian Cobra
One of Africa’s poisonous snakes is the Egyptian cobra. As far as cobras go, this is one of the biggest ones in Africa. This snake has a large, sunk head that is separated from the neck by a narrow ridge. Cobras, like all snakes, have long cervical ribs that can expand to form a hood around their necks. The Egyptian cobra has a broad, rounded snout. There is a long tail attached to the cylindrical and stocky body. This species is easily identified by its head and hood. Although there is a wide range of possible hues, most examples are brown, sometimes with lighter or darker mottling and frequently sporting a “tear-drop” mark just below the eye.
