Africa's Deadly Dozen

National Geographic

Africa is a continent that conjures up images of bold predators: Lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals. Now National Geographic sets those four-legged giants aside in search of the twelve deadliest snakes in Africa, including the continent’s most lethal serpent. There are over 400 different species of snakes in Africa, nearly 100 of those are considered dangerous to man. Out of those, 12 stand out.
