the DEAF ADDER got its name because when approached it seemed to be deaf as it wouldnt react to being approached. Its not spelt DEATH ADDER.
If you dont believe me it has been on "snake wranglers" in focus the episode where a husband and wife team that work for ARP go to catch much needed DEAF ADDER specimens as the antivenom for this snake was becoming more scarce. |

Regarding question 4. I am sorry but according my smart book it is 120 million years ago and it was Algerian specie from Cretaceous period. so good luck with next one. | | |
