[1] Contrary to what some people mistakenly believe humans are among the top fraction of percentile of animal size, there are just a handful of species that are larger in mass compared to the tens of thousands that are way teenier... go figure?
As a child, I always thought that viper bite would be roughly the same as bee sting. Nowadays I work as an nurse on ICU, and I have seen some patients due to viper bites. While it really is really uncommon to die because of viper bite, it still can cause massive swelling, moderate pain and even symptoms of hypovolemic shock which sometimes need ICU treatment. So I have been quite surprised on how serious it may be.
