42、elephant or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.A bite from Australias inland taipan, the worlds most poisonous snake, releases enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this

43、 snake, and a treatment for its poison exists.Russells viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan.

45、ms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually olive or grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black.

50、ng the puck into its underwater goal. Other team members must be ready to take the puck when a team member goes up for air.
