Top 10 Most Poisonous Animals
#10-The Puffer Fish
The puffer fish is really beautiful but can be very deadly in some cases. It's skin and certain organs are highly poisonous to humans. So it is very deadly when fishers catch it and don't know that it is poisonous and eat it. When you eat it, it causes deadness in the lips and toungue and causes muscle paralysis. Most of the victims die in a period of 24 hours.
#9-The Poison Dart Frog
This frog is very bright and beautiful but is very poisonous. The poison is on its skin so if someone touches it then they would get poisoned. It has enough poison to kill 10 humans. The frog got his name from the Amerindians which used the poison to put on the end of their darts.
#8-The Inland Taipan
This is the worlds most venomous snake. In one bite it has enough venom to kill 100 humans or 250,000 mice. It's venom is 300 more times more venomous than the common cobra. It can kill a human in 45 minutes. These snakes are very shy so there isn't a record of poeple dying from this snake. All the poeple that have been biitten they have been cured with antivenin.
#7-The Brazilian Wandering Spider
This spider is in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records for most venomous spider and is most responsible for deaths caused by spiders. They are most dangerous when they wonder into populated places and crawl into shoes, cars, houses, and clothes.
#6-The Stonefish
This fish is definitely ugly, but also is very poisonous. It is currently the world’s most venomous fish. It is said to be the worst pain known to man, it makes you want to amputate the limb that is poisoned. It also usually gives shock, paralysis and tissue death.
#5-The Death Stalking Scorpion
Most scorpions only cause harmful affects to a human like numbness swelling and pain. This scorpion is very dangerous though because it's venom causes pain that you can hardly stand, then fever, then a coma, convulsions, paralysis and death. It isn't very often that it kills a healthy adult man. I don't think that anyone would want to go through all those symptoms though.
#4-Blue Ringed-Octopus
This octopus is about the size of a ping pong ball but carries enough venom to kill 26 humans. When they first bite you it is painless and you can't even notice it but within ten minutes you start to get the symptoms, including nausea and vomiting. There have been cases where poeple have died. There is currently NO antivenin for this poison.
#3-Marble Cone Snail
One drop of this snails poison can kill 20 humans. After you touch it symptons can happen emediatley after or for a couple of days. The poison gives intense pain, swelling, numbness and tingling. The worse cases are vision changes, muscle paralysis and breathing failure. There is no antivenin and about 30 people have been killed by the venom.
#2-The King Cobra
In one bite this snake can very easily kill a human. It is even capable of killing an adult Asian Elephant in three hours if bitten in the right area including the trunk. It's venom isn't as bad as some snakes but in one bite it can inject alot more venom and kill a human five times faster.
#1-The Box Jellyfish
This jellyfish is the most venomous animal in the world and when you are near them you can hardly see them. Most stings hurt so bad that the victim goes into shock ,drown or die of heart failure before they get the chance to treat it. If you get stung you have no chance in living unless you get treated immediately after.
