GABOON VIPER: THE SNAKE WITH ONE OF THE MOST SCARY STINGS IN THE WORLD
As if conventional snakes weren't scary enough, imagine coming face to face with one of the most horrific bites in the world. That snake is the Gaboon viper. The gaboon viper, native to the forests and savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa, is capable of piercing the skin of elephants with its powerful bites — and has no trouble getting its tusks into the boots or shoes of unsuspecting people who disturb these reptiles. And speaking of prey, the Gaboon viper has the largest of all snakes, measuring no less than two inches in length. With fangs like this, the Gaboon viper manages not only to pierce the skin of its victims, but also to reach the muscles and reach the large blood vessels and release a dose of its lethal venom. The toxin produced by this species of viper consists of a deadly mixture that gives it hemotoxic, cytotoxic and neurotoxic characteristics, which makes the cocktail prepared by the viper capable of causing hemorrhages, destroying our cells and causing serious damage to the nervous system. The Gaboon viper has the highest venom production in the world. That's because this reptile can inject up to 600 milligrams with each bite, which is enough to kill an adult elephant - or 100 adult humans. Gaboon vipers can measure up to two meters in length and weigh 12 kilograms, making them the heaviest vipers in existence. Another interesting feature of this animal is that, like other members of the Viperidae family. The Gaboon vipers, has retractable fangs that open like a razor, when attacking, several spare teeth that are stuck in the sides of its jaw replace the lost teeth in its mouth. Fortunately, Gaboon vipers are super shy and prefer to go completely unnoticed. They usually hide and camouflage themselves among dry leaves and only attack when they feel threatened or provoked.
