World Most Venomous Snake

To be honest, i never knew there are species of snakes with venom potent enough to melt human flesh not until i read about the Golden lancehead snakes that is found only in Ilha da Queimada Grande, off the coast of São Paulo state, in Brazil popularly known as Snake Island

It is five times more potent than other snakes. In humans, the bite from a golden lancehead viper carried a seven per cent chance of death.
