Wikipedia

  1. Coral snake

    Coral snakes are a large group of elapid snakes that can be divided into two distinct groups, the Old World coral snakes and New World coral snakes. There are 16 species of Old World coral snakes, in three genera (Calliophis, Hemibungarus, and Sinomicrurus), and over 65 recognized species of New World coral snakes, in two genera (Micruroides and Micrurus). Genetic studies have found that the most basal lineages have origins in Asia, suggesting that the group originated in the Old World. While new world species of both genera are venomous, their bites are seldom lethal; only two confirmed fatalities have been documented in the past 100 years from the genus Micrurus. Meanwhile, snakes of the genus Micruroides have never caused a medically-significant bite.

  1. coral snake

    A coral snake is a highly venomous, tropical species of snake known for its vibrant colored bands. These species are part of the Elapidae family, which also includes mambas and cobras. Coral snakes are relatively small and slender, typically found in the southern parts of the United States, Central America, and South America. Their brilliant patterning of red, yellow and black serves as a warning to potential predators. Coral snakes are usually shy, nocturnal creatures and are not generally aggressive unless threatened or handled. Their venom, while potent, is delivered via small, fixed fangs attached to the front of the upper jaw.
