Although it has no backbone, the box jellyfish is the most dangerous venom on the planet. Their poison penetrates quickly into the cardiovascular and nervous systems, causing the victim to die immediately.
1. Dart Frog
Poison dart frogs are colorful frogs belonging to the family Dendrobatidae. They live in Central, South Africa and Hawaii. With a length of about 5 cm, they secrete batrachotoxin, a poison that can block the action of nerve cells to the muscles, causing paralysis and leading to death.
2. Pufferfish (Tetraodontiformes, or Plectognathi)
is the second most poisonous vertebrate in the world, after the golden dart frog. They live mainly in the seas around Japan, China, the Philippines and Mexico. The internal organs of the puffer fish contain toxins. However, if properly processed, puffer fish meat is a specialty for tourists. One has to spend up to 200 USD to try the puffer fish.
3. Taipan snake (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)
Taipain (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is a species of snake native to Australia and belongs to the family Elapidae. They are dark brown or dark green, with a body length of 1.8m to 2.5m. This is the most venomous snake in the world. People often call them "evil snakes". Taipan snake venom can kill 100 adult men, equivalent to 200,000 rats. However, humans have not recorded any deaths related to them.
4. Brazilian wandering spider
When it comes to venomous spiders, people often refer to brown recluse spiders or redback spiders. However, the Guinness World Records 2007 program rated the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria) as the most venomous spider in the world. They are also called banana spiders because they often live on banana leaves. While other spiders spin webs to trap their prey, banana spiders hunt on the ground, finding and attacking their prey directly. They are usually active at night and are very aggressive. Their venom is a very strong nerve agent, paralyzing the respiratory organs, causing suffocation and death. In addition, their venom can make men impotent.
5. Devil face fish (Synanceia)
As a genus of fish in the family Synanceiidae, the devil fish (Synanceia) is also known as frog gill fish and frog fish. They have a large, rough appearance and are very poisonous. People call them "venom lords" on the ocean floor. They have 13 toxic and poisonous dorsal fin rays that can last for days after the fish dies. When the dorsal fin rays of the devil face fish pierce the victim's flesh, the toxin will directly affect the motor system, the nervous system and the smooth muscle system of the heart in humans. However, if cooked properly, devil's face fish will be a favorite dish of many people with its crunchy, sweet taste, good blood circulation, and reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.
6. Stalker scorpion
Despite its beautiful transparent body, the Stalker scorpion is one of the most dangerous animals. They are pale yellow in color, frequently found in the Middle East and North Africa. Their venom can cause respiratory failure. People with cardiovascular disease or allergies can die from just one bite.
7. Blue Ring Octopus
The blue-ringed octopus is a species of octopus with beautiful dark-blue spots, resembling rings. They live mainly in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, from Japanese territorial waters to Australia, and possess incurable venom. Those they bite will stop breathing within 2 minutes. The amount of poison on the blue-ringed octopus's body can kill 26 people at once.
8.Marbled Cone snail
The Marbled Cone snail, or Conus marmoreus, is the most venomous mollusk on the planet. They are distributed in the waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans. A single drop of their drool can kill at least 200 people. Marbled Cone's stretch can make the whole body tremble, paralyzed limbs, blurred vision and stop breathing after only a few hours. However, the function of this poison is only for self-defense and to catch prey, but they never actively attack humans.
9. King Cobra, or Cloud Tiger
The king cobra, or Cloud Tiger (Ophiophagus hannah), is the largest venomous snake in the world. Their length can be up to 5.7 m. They live in the forests of India and China. Their venom is extremely dangerous. When the poison enters the living body, it will cause death in a very short time. 7 ml of king cobra venom can kill an elephant or 20 humans.
10. Box jellyfish (class Cubozoa)
The box jellyfish (class Cubozoa), an invertebrate, tops the list of the most dangerous venomous animals in the world. They live in the seas around Asia and Australia. Scientists say they have claimed the lives of 5,567 people since 1954. Their poison attacks the cardiovascular system, nervous system and even skin cells quickly, causing their targets to die instantly.
