what's the deadliest cobra?
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: In terms of venom toxicity, the inland taipan (also called the fierce snake) is the deadliest. In terms of how many people it kills, the Indian cobra is the deadliest. While the black mamba is certainly venomous enough to kill a person, and is a rather aggressive species, it kills far fewer people than snakes like the Indian cobra and Russell's viper, and as far as the toxicity of its venom goes, it doesn't even make the top ten.
