Jararaca
Jararaca is the most well-known venomous snake in all of Southeastern Brazil’s affluent and densely populated areas. What a lovely picture. In reality, this criterion was responsible for 52 percent (3,446 cases) of snakebites between 1902 and 1945, with a total mortality rate of 0.7 percent (25 deaths). Is it necessary to mention their lethal venom?

South American Bushmaster
Let me introduce the South American bushmaster, the longest venomous snake in the Western Hemisphere and the world’s longest pit viper. The equatorial forests east of the Andes, in particular, are native to South America. They’re also big, fast, and aggressive, which is everything you could want in a snake.
