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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

10. Puffer Fish


Said to be a delicacy in some parts of Asia,” God knows what Asians doesn’t eat” undecided 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.

NarnieSnyper:
Lovely topic, I must say. Learnt a great deal but what I noticed and what bothers me is that most males tend to die during or after mating cry
I wonder if this is naturally wired in almost all male species; Even the praying mantis makes love to a headless partner.
At least they died doing what they love, now thats priceless.
This should serve as a lesson to all men

8. Praying Mantis (Blissful death).

it's common knowledge that female praying mantises eat the heads of their mates during intercourse, but as it turns out, this isn't always the case. In some species, head-eating is a required part of the interaction, as it makes the male ejaculate more quickly. But in most cases, the cannibalism is actually a relatively rare behavior that occurs anywhere from 5-31% of the time. In these cases, the female will only eat the male because she's hungry and needs more sustenance in order to go on living. Remember, most animals only mate to keep their species going and a dead female isn't going to help the mantis survive as a species. When cannibalism doesn't occur, the mating ritual is actually a bit romantic, including a long mating dance and soft antennae stroking.
The female may begin feeding by biting off the male's head (as they do with regular prey), and if mating has begun, the male's movements may become even more vigorous in its delivery of sperm.
Males sometimes break off their genitals inside the female, to ensure fertilization. Females with genitals already broken off inside of them ate their mates much more quickly, providing the males with even less time to attempt to successfully mate first.


The perfect meal.

7.Bedbugs (Stone cold)


Rather than finding the female's reproductive organs and getting a little frisky, this quick-moving bug just stabs his lady in her stomach, deposits his sperm and leaves. The sperm then travel through the female's blood stream into sperm receptacles and eventually into her waiting ovaries.
This type of mating behavior is known by the terrifying title of “traumatic insertion,” and it certainly lives up to its name. At least when it's happening to something as horrible as bed bugs it's a lot harder to feel bad for the victims.


A real sign of domestic violence, don’t you think.

RomanceRe: 8 Weird Animals Mating Rituals by TIDDOLL(op): 9:07pm On Jan 07, 2018
6. Antechinus( The sex maniac)


All females come into oestrus at the time, triggering a mating frenzy among males. Copulation is a violent affair with males biting the backs of the females' necks during their brief encounter before each move on to other partners. A fortnight later, every male is dead, overwhelmed by the stress-related corticosteroids produced during the frenzy of mating.
Dr Fisher studied the mating habits and paternity of brown antechinus (A. stuartii), whose females usually only breed once, and found that sperm competition is the driving force behind their extreme breeding synchronisation and mating effort. "Although each mating typically takes about twelve hours, females aren't particularly fussy and will have sex with multiple partners if they can, avoiding only those males that are picked on by other males, and perceived to be weak," she says.
Literally, they bang a female and then move to another female and bang bang bang, just to ensure their gene is passed on due to low fertilization, eventually then pass on.

A good way to go I must say, They sure deserve recognition for this act.

5.Male Mandarin fish Shoot Their Sperm On Mating Couples (What a sissy)


Mandarin fish sex is all a bit fishy. When a pair of mandarin fish mate the female releases a cloud of about 200 eggs, which the male releases his sperm over. Nothing really odd about that to be fair.
However…
We’ve all heard the phrase “size doesn’t matter” right? Well apparently this isn’t the case if you’re a mandarin fish. Due to the low numbers of sexually active females in the mandarin fish population competition among the males tends to be high. So even if you’ve got a great personality, if you’re a weaker male mandarin fish then chances are a member of the opposite sex isn’t going to pick you as a mate.
These weaker male mandarin fish therefore respond to not getting to mate in perhaps the creepiest possible way. They wait until another pair of mandarin fish are mating and shoot their sperm at the mating couple in the hope of randomly fertilizing the female's eggs.
They then button up their trench coat and leave to look for another set of victims (presumably).

4. Bonobos (sex is Life)


Bonobos are a type of chimpanzee for whom sex is pretty much a way of life. They use sex for just about everything from starting conflicts to resolving conflicts and even for post-conflict reconciliation. They also use sexual activities as a form of greeting each other and forming social bonds, taking the whole “friends with benefits” thing to another level.
Bonobos aren’t overly picky either when it comes to sex and will engage in sexual behavior with each other regardless of age or gender, with the only real exception being that mothers and their adult sons tend not to engage in sexual activities together.
They are also the only non-human animal that has been seen to engage in face-to-face sexual intercourse, tongue kissing and MouthAction.

Such a hot life.

3. Male Argentine Lake Ducks Use Their Penis As A “Lasso”( Big whip)

WARNING, do not read this if you have a small whip.

Shouldn’t be on the list, but the display of a large roddy by a bird can’t be overlooked.
The male Argentine Lake Duck is a Guinness World Record holder for having the largest reproductive organ of any bird species. Perhaps even more impressive though is that, in relation to body size, it has the longest penis of all vertebrate species.
This incredibly long penis tends to be around 17 inches (roughly the size of the duck itself) and is corkscrew shaped. Given the ridiculous length of their penis, some male ducks have been observed using their penis as a lasso to catch females for mating.
This lassoing ability is particularly advantageous for the males aiming to pass on their genes as the female ducks generally tend to be resistant to mating.

2.Black widow spider (The sadist).

This spider's bite is much feared because its venom is reported to be 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake’s. The animals most at risk from the black widow's bite are insects—and male black widow spiders. Females sometimes kill and eat their counterparts after mating in a macabre behavior that gave the insect its name. Black widows are solitary year-round except during this violent mating ritual.

What a sadist.

1.Male Honey Bees’ (TESTI-GRENADE)


Essentially what happens when honey bees mate is that when a queen honey bee reaches sexual maturity, or rather “if” a queen bee reaches sexual maturity (given that virgin queen rivals tend to seek each other out and try to kill each other) her reward is an orgy with a dozen or so male drones.
Unfortunately for the “lucky” males involved in this mating ritual this is the last act they will participate in during their time on Earth.
Whenever a male drone ejaculates into the queen his testicles quite literally explode, propelling both his semen and his (now broken off) penis into the queen’s vagina. This act paralyses the male, leaving him to die. And all this is for the sake of a sexual encounter that lasts only 1-2 seconds.

Man`s not hot i guess.
