To me the King Cobra is the scariest animal on earth. All venomous reptiles are dangerous creatures but there is something about this species that is particularly awe inspiring. Just knowing that they can literally kill even the biggest land animals on the planet is enough for me to give them a great amount of respect, and a great amount of distance!

@toxinologist

As I know,B.fasciatus is generally more aggressive than B.multicinctus.B.multicinctus is more prevalent,thus causing more accidents.The no.of snakebite cases depends on many factors,like snake occurrence,distribution,etc.

B.caeruleus causes relatively few accidents when compare with the other members of the Big Four.Yes,bites are deadly as many accidents occur at night and many people underestimate the danger.

Moreover,there is no an exact ranking as there are a lot of variations(e.g.each individual has different temperament).The species listed are generally regarded as highly dangerous.Yet,I agree that every snake has potential to kill you and different snakes cause different danger.Yes,KC venom has rapid effect on humans+the dose is huge and it has high attack position,it caused the fastest death time.LD50 may/may not be applicable on humans as it usually use rodents as the indicator.

There is no a certain answer as it depends on how you think.Generally,there are many factors to determine the danger of snakes(e.g.snake temperament,toxicity,venom dose,fangs effectiveness,strike abilities,etc).The king cobra is regarded as one of the most dangerous snakes(together with black mamba, coastal taipan,eastern diamondback,eastern brown, saw-scaled and Russell's viper,etc).Presently,the mortality rate caused by black mamba and king cobra is the highest among venomous snakes
