 Top Ten Most Powerful Super Snakes in the World



Almost everyone is afraid of snakes, whether it’s being bitten by them or just seeing one slither on the ground, we all get that eerie feeling in our gut and cringe when we do see one slithering on the ground. But what are the top powerful super snakes in the world? Everyone knows there are many species of snakes, both poisonous and non-poisonous that can be found almost anywhere in the world – except Antarctica – including Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Africa.


Anaconda

The anaconda is a large, non-venomous snake found in tropical South America. It is one of the heaviest and longest snakes in the world. Anacondas can grow to be over 29 feet long and weigh over 550 pounds. They are proficient swimmers and often lurk near bodies of water waiting to ambush their prey. Their diet consists mainly of animals such as turtles, caimans, capybaras, deer, wild pigs and even jaguars. They wrap around their prey and constrict it until it suffocates or succumbs to heart failure. If necessary, they will coil around its victim and hold it underwater until it drowns. After the animal dies, they swallow the carcass whole. These giant snakes are very docile and rarely attack humans unless they feel threatened or cornered. As of now there has been no known human fatalities caused by these creatures but some people have died after receiving a bite from them. One case includes a man who was trying to protect his pet dog from being attacked by an anaconda. Unfortunately he was unable to get out of the way before the snake had already bitten him. The bite didn't penetrate his skin but instead got stuck on his clothes, ripping holes into his shirt and jeans. Eventually he made it home safely with medical attention for his wounds without incident. There are still many questions surrounding this event that scientists may never know. For example, how did the snake come to be at this location? Was it lost? Did someone release it there? It's unclear if more snakes exist at this particular location. What is clear though, is that we need to take care when dealing with these creatures because they can cause serious harm. The typical reaction to most snakes' bites include pain, swelling, blisters and discoloration of the skin. Other possible reactions could include difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting. All in all though, not much information about this particular snake exists but it's important to remain vigilant when dealing with any type of reptile because accidents happen every day!


Reticulated Python

The reticulated python is the longest snake in the world, reaching lengths of over 30 feet. They are native to Southeast Asia and can be found in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. These snakes are non-venomous and kill their prey by constriction. Reticulated pythons are one of the top powerful super snakes due to their size and strength. Pythons have been known to eat animals as large as a water buffalo or an antelope. Pythons also have a bite force that ranges from 1400 pounds per square inch (psi) up to 2500 psi! That's more than four times the pressure exerted by a human jaw. To give you some perspective, alligators only have a bite force of 150 psi while lions range from 600 to 800 psi. Due to its long length and huge mouth size, these creatures can consume many animals at once - sometimes eating them alive for hours! When they do finally swallow them whole, they may not even feel it because their prey often ends up being digested alive inside them. In captivity, they will usually eat a variety of different things such as eggs, birds, fish, frogs, rats, mice, dogs and cats. As far as breeding goes, this species does not breed well in captivity so it is difficult to find out how many exist. Some estimate there are around 200,000 reticulated pythons living wild across Southeast Asia. There has never been a documented case of any humans dying from the bite of a reticulated python but on occasion the animal might lose control of itself and accidentally break the skin with its teeth when trying to get away from people. Nevertheless, the danger posed by these creatures should not be underestimated. They can grow to be more than 20 feet long, which means they could easily wrap themselves around a person and suffocate them. Furthermore, if they happen to escape into populated areas they pose a threat both due to their sheer size and because of where they come from. Not only are there reports of reticulated pythons attacking pets such as goats and chickens in rural villages but also occasionally attacking children too! In contrast, the majority of other top ten most powerful super snakes live exclusively in North America or Africa so encounters with humans tend to be much less frequent. Additionally, African rock pythons are another popular candidate for the title of most powerful based on their natural weaponry: A strong jaw and sharp teeth capable of crushing bones. However, these don't compare to the reticulated python in terms of weight or size. More specifically, African rock pythons typically only reach about six feet long and weigh 100 pounds whereas reticulated pythons can exceed thirty feet in length and weigh 300 pounds!


Green Anaconda

The Green Anaconda is one of the largest snakes in the world, reaching lengths of up to 30 feet. It is a member of the boa family and is found in South America. Green Anacondas are incredibly powerful, and their large size gives them an advantage over other snakes. They are excellent swimmers and can stay submerged for up to 10 minutes. Green Anacondas are carnivores, and their diet consists mostly of mammals and birds. These snakes are not venomous, but they can kill their prey by constriction. A typical meal will consist of anything from rats to deer. In spite of their fearsome reputation, these snakes rarely attack humans unless provoked or threatened. If attacked, it will coil around its victim and squeeze until suffocation occurs. Thankfully, death usually comes quickly with little pain involved. One such case occurred when a three-year-old boy was playing on his patio in Brazil. He saw the green anaconda slithering towards him and ran into his house for safety. His mother noticed that he was having difficulty breathing, so she called for medical assistance. The boy's eyes were rolling back into his head as he struggled to breathe; luckily, he was saved before long after receiving oxygen and being placed on life support. On the flip side, however, these snakes also eat smaller animals and insects. Other than looking menacingly cute while draped across a log like any good snake should be doing, these giant reptiles don't really have much going for them in terms of redeeming qualities. Their value is limited primarily to the fascination people feel upon seeing them (and how bad they want one). There are only two species of snake that measure more than 33 feet: Reticulated Python and Green Anaconda. Both are among the longest and heaviest living snake species. Both can reach lengths greater than 20 feet, weigh hundreds of pounds, and live up to 50 years old. While both tend to feed on mammals, reticulated pythons prefer larger animals such as wild pigs or water buffalo whereas green anacondas hunt larger prey like deer.


Burmese Python

The Burmese python is one of the five largest snakes in the world. It is native to a large area of Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and parts of China. The snake can grow to be 20 feet long or more, and can weigh up to 200 pounds. Burmese pythons are very powerful snakes, and have been known to kill humans. One was found with a deer inside its stomach, after eating it whole. They also eat other types of animals like rats, mice, squirrels, rabbits, and alligators. 

A typical diet for the Burmese Python includes birds, eggs and reptiles such as lizards and frogs. 

The female typically lays around twenty eggs at once which she then incubates for about four months before they hatch. These snakes are nocturnal creatures and will spend most of their time resting on branches near water during the day, before emerging at night to hunt. In spite of their size, they have some great speed and agility, though this often comes with a fair amount of trepidation due to the extreme power these beasts pack. 

It is estimated that there are over 100 million living Burmese Pythons across Southeast Asia today; however much human intervention has made them an endangered species in many countries. Many locals who live near where these large snakes dwell make good money from catching them, usually by using traps placed near bodies of water. All wild-caught Burmese Pythons must be killed because they pose a danger to people and livestock, although those caught alive may be sold as pets. To date, these huge snakes are responsible for killing only 29 people since 2000, making them less dangerous than other big constrictors like boa constrictors and anacondas. That being said, attacks on humans are not unheard of. When confronted by a human, the Burmese python will do what any frightened animal would do: strike back and try to get away. More often than not these strikes result in death when the prey being pursued is larger (like cattle) but smaller prey might escape unharmed if they're fast enough or lucky enough.


Amethystine Python

The amethystine python is a non-venomous snake found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. It is the largest living species of snake in the world, with some individuals reaching lengths of over 30 feet (9 meters). These massive snakes are mostly nocturnal, spending their days curled up in trees or hidden among rocks. At night they come out to hunt, preying on mammals, birds, and reptiles. Although they are not venomous, amethystine pythons can kill their prey by constriction. They coil around the animal until it suffocates. They have also been known to dislocate limbs and break bones while constricting their prey. Amethystine pythons feed primarily on other vertebrates; they will take any small animal that will fit into their mouths. One particular story from 1923 tells of an amethystine python being encountered in the village at Dibua. The villagers armed themselves with clubs and stones, but when they approached the snake for attack, it lashed at them so aggressively that the natives retreated. Some later returned with shovels and more weapons, finally killing it after hacking at its body for hours. Interestingly enough, a previous account from 1887 tells of an intelligent amethystine python which was said to mimic human speech perfectly! In addition to these two reports, there are several others that mention the speaking abilities of this species. Even stranger is the discovery of what may be evidence of ESP in a juvenile amethystine python. A zoologist studying wild populations noted that she had observed a pattern whereby all adults within hearing distance would simultaneously hiss whenever she would scream out loud before making her discovery, then abruptly stop once she stopped yelling. In many ways this suggests telepathy or at least advanced intuition skills, although some argue against these claims as wellwell . That said, anecdotal stories like these make the amethystine python a prime candidate for one of the most powerful super snakes in the world. There are few animals that rival this giant in size and intelligence. Plus, its ability to eat almost anything smaller than itself makes it a very fearsome predator.


Black Mamba

The black mamba is one of the most feared snakes in the world, and for good reason. It is fast, aggressive, and highly venomous. A single bite can kill a human within minutes, and there is no known antivenom. The black mamba is found in sub-Saharan Africa and typically grows to be around 10 feet long. They are mostly active at night, but during mating season they will hunt during the day as well. They prefer to stay near water sources such as rivers or lakes where they can find prey like fish and frogs. When hunting their prey, the black mamba relies on camouflage and stealth. They remain still, flicking their tongue out to detect nearby movement while they wait for an animal to get close enough so that it can strike quickly. Once the prey is within range, they coil up and shoot forward with blinding speed. If the prey manages to dodge, they have time to prepare for another attack. Black mambas usually eat small mammals and occasionally birds if they happen to catch them. The venom from a black mamba is very potent and not only has severe side effects on humans, but also has side effects on other animals like birds which may die from eating prey that has been bitten by a black mamba. Their powerful venom is delivered through large fangs which inject paralyzing neurotoxins into their victims before rupturing blood vessels sending fluid throughout the body and causing death by internal bleeding or cardiac arrest. Thankfully, unlike many other snake species, the black mamba’s victim doesn’t remain conscious during this entire process. Scientists believe that because of its fearsome reputation, the black mamba does not need to rely on poisonous bites to be successful in capturing prey; instead it just relies on its ability to outrun its victims. 

When frightened or threatened, these snakes have a tendency to flare their necks and open their mouths aggressively (even when they don't actually bite). The defensive behavior looks more dramatic than it really is since the rear part of their head lacks any teeth. What it does possess is a set of narrow grooves that make the back edge of their mouth look like false teeth. These grooves increase friction when biting to help prevent prey from being able to escape. In addition, black mambas also have glands under their chin called Duvernoy's glands which secrete a sticky substance designed to slow down predators who try to eat them alive. They tend to use this defense when they feel cornered rather than just trying to scare away potential threats. Luckily, Duvernoy's gland secretions aren't deadly unless they come into contact with eyes or cuts on skin since they simply cause pain and temporary blindness until the gunk dries off and washes away naturally.


Inland Taipan Snake

The Inland Taipan is considered to be the most venomous snake in the world. It is found in Australia and can grow up to 8 feet long. The snake's venom is so powerful that it can kill 100 humans with just one bite. The Inland Taipan is a shy snake and will only attack if it feels threatened. If you see one of these snakes, it's best to leave it alone. You should never attempt to catch or kill one because they are known for striking quickly and injecting their prey with deadly amounts of venom. Russell’s Viper: Russell’s Viper lives in Africa and has been called the most dangerous snake on earth. One report from 1936 said that over 400 people were killed by this viper in three months. They have small fangs which inject venom into their victims through a single bite, making them almost impossible to spot until it's too late. Giant Asian Cobra: The Giant Asian Cobra is not as well-known as other snakes on this list but still deserves recognition as one of the deadliest serpents around. Its venom glands can hold enough poison to kill 20 people at once! They live mainly near water and will attack humans who come closclosee to them while they hunt frogs or fish. Luckily, there are two ways to defend yourself against the Giant Asian Cobra - using a flashlight (the snake won't attack when light shines directly on it) or wearing boots and thick pants. Saltwater Crocodile: The Saltwater Crocodile is one of the largest reptiles in the world - second only to its close relative, the alligator. These animals eat anything they can find - plants, animals and even people. Their bites have been reported to take off limbs within seconds! When confronted with one of these beasts, you should always look out for signs like large footprints leading away from water before entering any body of water. Nile Monitor Lizard: Nile Monitors may look cute now but they're actually among some of the deadliest lizards around! They are native to East Africa and prefer to stay in trees during the day. But during nightfall, they climb down and search for food. The Nile Monitor lizard eats almost anything it can get its claws on including eggs, bugs, birds, mice, fruits and vegetables. Just watch out - because this reptile also likes human meat! Bushmaster Snake: The Bushmaster Snake is native to Central America where it spends most of its time hiding under leaves during daytime hours. Though rarely seen by humans due to its nocturnal behavior, the Bushmaster Snake is known for having incredibly potent venom which kills about 50% of those bitten by it every year. What makes this serpent even more terrifying is that their territory spreads across 10 different countries!


King Cobra

The king cobra is the longest of all venomous snakes, averaging 3.6 to 4.5 m (12 to 15 ft) in length and occasionally growing to 5.6 m (18 ft). It is also the heaviest known venomous snake, with a mature weight of 6 kg (13 lb). Despite its large size, it is actually quite agile, and can strike with great speed. The king cobra's venom is primarily neurotoxic, and therefore affects the nervous system. Symptoms of a king cobra bite include extreme pain, swelling, bruising, and blistering at the site of the bite. In addition, paralysis and respiratory failure may occur. If left untreated, a bite from a king cobra can be fatal. Fortunately, most victims survive if they receive immediate medical attention. There are two antivenoms that are typically used to treat a king cobra bite: Anavipon - an antiserum that counteracts the neurotoxins in the snake's venom; and Polyvalent Snake Antivenin - which provides antibodies against both neurotoxins and blood-coagulating factorsfactors. A second species of cobra, the forest cobra, is found in Central Africa. Like the king cobra, this species' venom contains neurotoxins. Unlike other snakebites that affect only one organ or tissue type, bites from this species result in general systemic illness due to widespread distribution of toxic proteins by the time the victim reaches medical care. Unfortunately, there is no anti-venom available for the forest cobra because there have been few documented cases of human envenomation. However, symptoms of these bites should not be taken lightly and patients should seek medical attention immediately. Treatment options include intravenous fluids, antibiotics, analgesics and tetanus prophylaxis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants may provide relief from associated pain and muscle spasms. Prevention of secondary infection includes treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics such as cefuroxime axetil, ampicillin/sulbactam, ceftriaxone or piperacillin/tazobactam. Post bite management requires close monitoring of vital signs and intensive supportive care until condition stabilizes.
