This Massive Viper Has The Longest Fangs of Any Venomous Snake on Earth

A Gaboon viper in a zoo enclosure. (Holger Krisp/Wikimedia Commons/CC BY-3.0)This may seem like an unnecessary amount, but compared to other venomous snakes, the Gaboon viper's poison is relatively low in toxicity. Even though these snakes could theoretically make enough venom to take down six humans at once, they rarely attack us. And even when they do, there is an available antidote. Oftentimes, they just hiss at humans to make us go away. Other mammal relatives are a different matter.
