Horned Viper

If you want to know how he got his name, just take a look at his face and you’ll notice two sharp rising horns coming from its eyes. Now now, before you start wishing this bad-boy didn’t exist, you need to understand that he is important ecologically. This raised-eyebrow viper takes care of a significant number of rodent problems, meaning less mice and rats.

Indochinese Spitting Cobra

A snake. A spitting snake. A venom-spitting snake. It doesn’t get much more frightening than that, really. Although it is one of the thinner cobras out there, it is not one of the tamer ones. When spitting venom isn’t enough, this cobra will bite its opponent and chew vigorously until the death, literally.
