Well you can add one more to the nation’s long lists of deadly animals, as Australian and British scientists have discovered a new poisonous snake in the remote area of Kimberley, Western Australia. The ‘Kimberley death adder’, as the group of scientists named it is a sub-species of the known adder and is 50cm in length. The highly toxic snake has a venom that can cause total paralysis of the human’s respiratory system in 6 hours and eventually to death, if an antidote is not administered to the victim.
