Dangerous Animals In Asian
1.
Animal: Indian (Asian) CobraLocation: India, Pakistan, Nepal, & Bangladesh
Size: 4-8 feet long
Speed: 8-10 mph
Food Source: Frogs, lizards, mice, snakes, and other small animals.
Defense Tactics: Wear long pants & boots in areas where these powerful snakes may dwell. These snakes usually give fair warning of when they are about to strike, so if you see them stand tall while raising their hood, slowly back away. If you do get bitten, do your best to remain calm and keep the bitten part below your heart as to reduce blood circulation and keep the poison from spreading. Cobra venom is extremely lethal so contact emergency help as fast as you can.

Animal: Bengal TigerLocation: Eastern & Southern Asia
Size: 10-13 feet long, 500-700 lbs
Speed: 40 mph
Food Source: Antelope, buffalo, boars, leopards, pythons, sloths, crocodiles, and other animals
Defense Tactics: Don't wander the jungles alone in India or Bangladesh, and be sure to carry a firearm for self-defense. Tigers are just too aggressive and too strong to succesfully escape an attack, which are almost always fatal.

3.
Animal: Asiatic LionLocation: India & Pakistan
Size: 250-400 lbs
Speed: 40 mph
Food Source: Wild pigs, cattle, antelope, & deer
Defense Tactics: Since people are slower, weaker, less agile, and smaller, it makes things difficult to defend yourself against a lion. If you do encounter one, hopefully you have a gun with you to scare it off, or a big knife you can use to stick in it should it decide to pounce on you. Other than that, hopefully you have some spare meat you can feed him, because he won't be leaving you on an empty stomach.

Animal: Komodo DragonLocation: Indonesia
Size: 6-10 feet long, 150-250 lbs
Speed: 13 mph
Food Source: Carrion, birds, snakes, & small mammals
Defense Tactics: Komodo Dragons aren't really known for attacking humans, but that doesn't mean they don't bite. They are equipped with a type of venom that can cause blood clots and their mouthes are swarming with dangerous bacteria, which can cause severe infection and lead to amputation if not treated in a timely manner.

Animal: Sloth BearLocation: India
Size: 300-450 lbs
Speed: 25 mph
Food Source: Termites, fruits, plants, honey, & sugarcane.
Defense Tactics: While sloth bears may appear slow and clumsy, don't be fooled by their name. They can run faster than humans and they are excellent climbers. They usually don't feed on mammals, but if you invade their territory or threaten one of their cubs, you will probably be dealing with an angry mama bear. If that's the case, then defend yourself the same way you would against a black bear.

Animal: Reticulated PythonLocation: Throughout Asia mostly in jungles
Size: 10-23 feet long
Speed: 1-3 mph

Once he has you wrapped up, there is little to no chance for escape because they are just too big and too strong.
