Some 2500-3000 species of snakes are found in the world, of which around 500 are venomous. There are about 270 species of snakes found in India and out of these only 4 species of snakes are poisonous and people die due to their bites. These snakes are- Cobra (Snake), Krait, Russell’s Viper and Saw Scaled Viper. Apart from these, king cobra, hump-nosed pit viper and banded krait are also venomous snakes, but they are very few in number.

Due to the poison, the victim becomes unconscious after going some distance and the snake smells its poison and reaches near it. Apart from this, the snake also uses its venom to protect itself from enemies.
Apart from this, the snake also uses its venom to protect itself from enemies.
