Park manager says it could be the most dangerous death adder in the worldCredit: Australian Reptile ParkDeath adders are one of the most venomous land snakes in the world which produce a neurotoxic capable of paralysis, respiratory failure and eventually death if left untreated.
It also has one of the fastest strikes in the world, unleashing attacks at less than a tenth of a second.
Before antivenom was introduced, about 60 per cent of their bites to humans were fatal.
The extra fang was spotted hiding next to one of the other fangs on the left side of the death adder's mouth.
This fang can still produce venom, meaning it could inject victims with even more fatal fluids than other death adders.
"I've seen plenty shedding fangs, they've got one hanging off the side there that eventually drops off, but to have one functioning as a third fang like that, it is wild," said park manager Billy Collett.
"Having that third fang actually means she delivers more venom.
"She's got not two but three that come flying out, so we're getting massive yields from her."
