10. Puffer Fish


Said to be a delicacy in some parts of Asia,” God knows what Asians doesn’t eat” the skin and some organs of the puffer fish are very poisonous to humans.
The puffer fish’s skin, muscle tissue, liver, and gonads all contain a toxin known as tetrodoxin. If you are so unfortunate as to consume this toxin, you will experience a tingling sensation, burning in your mouth, nausea, headache, and speech and coordination problems. If you ingest too much, you will experience convulsions, paralysis, cardiac arrhythmia, and ultimately death.
Most importantly, there is no known antidote.

9. Poison Dart Frog

The Dart frog is deceptively cute, “stay away from that beautiful skin though” Typically it lives in South and Central America or Hawaii.
The 2 inch long (5cm) golden poison dart frog has enough venom to kill 10 adult humans or 20,000 mice, their poison is called “batrachotoxin”. Indigenous Amerindians are known to use their toxic secretion to poison the tips of their blow darts; hence they are tagged “dart frogs”.

They keep their poison in their skins and will sicken or kill anybody who touches or eats it.

8. Inland Taipan

Arguably the “The World’s Most Venomous Snake” native to Australia.

Possessing a neurotoxin in its venom, capable of killing an adult man within 45min, Just a single bite from this snake contains enough venom to kill 100 human adults or an army of 250,000 mice. Fortunately they are very shy, and no documented reports of human fatalities.
Bites can readily be treated.

7. Brazilian Wandering Spider


Regularly confused with the golden silk orb-weaver, unlike the golden orb spider, the Brazilian wandering spider is quite deadly. rated as the most venomous spider on the planet by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2007.

They are also so dangerous because of their wandering nature.
Its venomous bite causes not only intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism – uncomfortable erections lasting for many hours that lead to impotence. A bite from this spider can also cause widespread tissue necrosis. This spider is believed to have the most potent neurotoxic venom of any living spider. Only 0.006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill a mouse.

6. Stonefish


The stone fish may never win a beauty contest, it will surely take the price home for the most “venomous fish” though, Its dorsal area is lined with 13 spines that release venom from two sacs attached to each spine. The spines on the fish’s back carry a toxin that can cause swelling, necrosis of tissue, paralysis, shock, and ultimately death. While the toxin is treatable, treatment must take place immediately.

It disguises itself with its camouflaged appearance and can easily blend in with rocks on the seabed. Usually the stonefish is found lurking above the Tropic of Capricorn.

5. Death Stalker Scorpion


Found in the Middle East and North Africa.

Most scorpions are relatively harmless to humans as stings produce only local effects (pain, numbness or swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is a highly dangerous species because its venom is a powerful cocktail of neurotoxins which causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever, followed by coma, convulsions, paralysis and death.
Those with heart problems or allergies are particularly likely to die from a sting.

4. Blue-Ringed Octopus

So tiny, about a size of a gulf ball, but its venom is powerful enough to kill a human. It carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and there is no antidote.

Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly neurotoxins begin working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness, followed by a cessation and breathing and ultimately death. –They can be found in tide pools in the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Australia.

3. Marbled Cone Snail


Snail, sounds harmless right?

This little beautiful looking Cone snail can be as deadly as any other animal on this list. One drop of its venom is powerful enough to kill more than 20 humans. If you ever happen to be in warm salt water environment (where these snails are often found) and see it, don’t even think of picking it up. Of course, the true purpose of its venom is to catch its prey, and not to kill you.
Mild symptoms may include pain, inflammation, numbness, and tingling. If you get a high dose of venom, you will experience vision loss, respiratory failure, and muscle paralysis—and eventually death. There is no anti-venom available, so there is no way to treat the victim.

2. King Cobra

The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the world’s longest venomous snake – growing up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length. Ophiophagus, literally means “snake-eater” as it eats other snakes (similar to the King Snake).

One bite can cause the death of a healthy adult human within 15 minutes. This snake is even capable of killing a full-grown Asian Elephant within 3 hours if the larger animal is bitten in a vulnerable area such as the trunk.
It’s venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobra is capable of injecting more venom than black mamba (up to 600 mg) and can result in one of the fastest mortality rates for any snake bite -typically 30-45 minutes after envenomation. It is quite widespread, ranging across South and South-east Asia, living in dense highland forests.

1. Box Jellyfish


Regarded as the most venomous animal in the world, “The Box JellyFish” reported to have caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since 1954. It floats in the waters surrounding Asia and Australia, and is so transparent that it is nearly invisible if you are not looking for it.

It’s toxins attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. And the worst part of it is that box jelly venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human victims go straight into shock, and drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore. Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies.
