what dangerous desert animals are in Texas?


Texas has its share of venomous animals. Between snakes, scorpions, and tiger you’ll want to be aware of which animals in Texas could cause the most harm:



Snakes: Rattlesnakes have a bad reputation, but there are other venomous snakes. There are four types of venomous snakes in Texas. Rattlesnakes include the Western Massaga Rattlesnake, Spotted Rock Rattlesnake, Black-tailed Rattlesnake, Mojave Rattlesnake, Timber Rattlesnake, and Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. Other venomous snakes are coral snakes, pit vipers (copperheads), and cottonmouths (sometimes called sambar). There are approximately 7,000-8,000 venomous snakebites in the United States each year, but only 5 are fatal on average. If you've been bitten by a snake, it's best to see a doctor, as medical facilities in the United States carry antivenom.




Scorpions: The most venomous scorpion in the United States is the Arizona bark scorpion, which is not found in Texas. There are other scorpions that can bite, but according to Texas Parks and Wildlife, there are no medically dangerous scorpion species in Texas.
