4. Okinawan Habu

Much like a bottle of tequila has a worm at the bottom, a bottle of Okinawan rice liquor has an even more dangerous inhabitant, an Okinawan habu viper. As one of the subspecies of the copperhead, the habu is a highly venomous native of the Ryukyu islands of Japan that can reach up to eight feet. The brown snake with yellow-edged greenish-brown blotches on its skin has a toxic bite and inflicts its venom on around 50 people annually.
