Saw - Scaled Viper

The next position on the list of the most dangerous animals in India is Saw - Scaled Viper. A genus of poisonous vipers known as saw-scaled vipers or carpet vipers can be found in the arid regions of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, India, and the Middle East. They make a "sizzling" warning sound by rubbing different parts of their bodies together in a distinctive threat presentation. The Greek term for "viper" is transliterated as "Echis" in Latin. They are known as "saw-scaled vipers," and they include some of the species that account for the majority of snakebite cases and fatalities worldwide. There are presently 12 recognized species.


All species of this genus exhibit a recognizable threat display that consists of coiling their scales into parallel C shapes and rubbing them together to create a sizzling sound that resembles water on a hot plate. This is referred to as stridulation properly. This striding habit increases in speed and volume as they grow more irritated. This behavior is assumed to have developed to prevent water loss from occurring, such as while hissing. But according to some writers, this display was accompanied by a loud hissing. These serpents are dangerous and will bite from the location mentioned above. When doing so, they could lose balance and wind up heading in the direction of their attacker.
