21. Highly Venomous Snakes Bit this Boy
The Russell’s viper is responsible for as many as 40 percent of snakebites in Sri Lanka and most of the bites that become life-threatening. These snakes will bite anyone who gets in their way, including the little boy in this picture here. His father rushed him to receive medical treatment and, even more heroically, brought the snake so that doctors could diagnose what was ailing the boy. A bite from the Russell’s viper can cause paralysis and eventually claim the victim, but fortunately, the boy in this picture survived.
