What venomous snake can kill the largest number of mice (or people)?
I heard the king cobra has enough venom to kill 20 to 30 people. Is there any venomous snake that can kill more than 20 to 30 people? Like say 30 to 40 people, for example?
I was reading in a book after I asked this question the inland tiapan bite can kill 250,000 mice. Read somewhere else a house mouse weighs about one ounce. There's 16 ounces to a pound, so a bite could kill about 100 people? Is that right or am I doing the math wrong?
I did the math, a king cobra should be able to kill 72,000 mice, right? If a mouse weighs one ounce and a person about 150 pounds….
