The most venomous snake on earth is the Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri) or the Faint Banded Sea Snake, some consider the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) an/or the Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) to be the most toxic, however, with recent and more accurate studies prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.
It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold it's breath up to 8 hours, a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.
It's habitat is a wide range in the South Pacific.

2- Inland Tiapan (Oxyuranus Microlepidotus).

∙ 10y agoKangaroos are found all over the Australian continent, as there are over 60 species of kangaroos in Australia, and so they are found in a variety of habitats. They are most commonly found in bushland and woodland, open forests, coastal heath land, grasslands, mallee scrub, mulga scrub and other scrubland. They have adapted to a variety of temperatures around Australia and are usually found in sub tropical and temperate zones, while the Eastern Grey kangaroo can also be found in sub-Alpine regions.
Larger kangaroos do not live in the desert, as the food is too scarce. However, smaller, omnivorous varieties of the kangaroo family (often not recognised as kangaroos) do burrow in the desert and gain all their moisture needs from the insects and larvae they eat.
Most of the types of kangaroo prefer the grassland or open bushland habitat in Australia. They graze on grasses and low vegetation in the early mornings and the evening while seeking shelter under trees during the middle of the day. Places where farmlands or plains meet the scrub are ideal for kangaroos.
Tree kangaroos are found in the rainforests of far northern Queensland. They are predominantly arboreal creatures which do venture to the ground regularly.
