King Cobra vs Inland Taipan: Whose venom is more powerful?
Shivani Tiwari
The Inland Taipan is widely considered to have the most potent venom of any land snake.
The King Cobra is the world's longest venomous snake.
Inland Taipan venom is a complex mix of neurotoxins, hemotoxins, and myotoxins.
The king cobra venom is primarily neurotoxic, extremely potent enough to kill an elephant within a few hours.
Inland Taipan venom causes muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, and tissue damage, leading to severe systemic complications.
King cobra venom targets the brain's respiratory centres, leading to cardiac failure and eventual death.
The Inland Taipan's venom is significantly more potent.
However, the King Cobra's venom delivery system and size make it a dangerous snake.
It is important to remember that both snakes are very dangerous and should be avoided.
