There's a reason why snakes have garnered such a bad rap over the years. There are about two million people who suffer from snakebites every year throughout the world and more than 50,000 of those are fatal.

The Asian Cobra is technically not the reptile with the strongest venom but, along with Russell's Viper, it is the one that kills the most people annually. There are Asian cobras in lots of countries but it's in Sri Lanka that they are the most active.
