scary, read on find out
which species are the most
dangerous in the world.


1. Deathstalker
Scorpions are feared by
many humans, and the
Deathstalker is probably
one of the most dangerous
types. Found in the Middle
East and North Africa,
although its venom would
be highly dangerous and
extremely painful, it would
not kill a healthy human
being. However, if a child
is stung the venom is
much more powerful and
could kill. The Deathstalker
is yellow in color which
may mean that it is more
difficult to find while out
in the wild.

2.Portuguese Man
O’ War

The Portuguese Man O’ War
is mainly found in the
Atlantic Ocean. The animal
lives on the surface of the
water and moves according
to the tidal waves. Many
people recognize the
animal as a jellyfish,
however in reality the
Portuguese Man O’ War is
much more dangerous. If
you are stung by one of

symptoms can include fever
as well as shock. In order
to counteract the
symptoms, pouring salt
water over the site of the
sting can really help.

Buffalo, is found in
