In order to survive, as well as provide themselves with food, these animals do not use sharp fangs or physical strength, but potent poison. In our top ten collected 10 most poisonous animals on the planet.

And although some of the presented species are quite attractive in appearance, all without exception are mortally dangerous to humans.

10. Stonefish (Synanceia verrucosa)

Many argue that the pain from exposure to the poison of this fish is such that in the desire to get rid of it, a person is ready for suicide. The spikes on the back of the fish are covered with poison. By the way, stone fish is a fairly common species in the waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

9. Marble Snail Cone (Conidae)

A drop of poison from this baby can kill 20 people. Moreover, antidotes, alas, do not exist. These mollusks live in coral reefs off the coast of Australia. The snail pricks with a sharp spike dipped in poison. According to statistics, every third of the number of affected people dies.

8. Fugu fish (Tetraodontidae)

Puffer meat is considered a delicacy in Asian countries. However, a high-class specialist must cook the fish, because its skin and some organs contain a deadly toxin. The use of puffer in food leads to a state of mild euphoria, which is explained by the action of residual toxins. Every year, dozens of cases of fatal puffer fish poisoning are recorded in the world.

7. Wandering Spider (Phoneutria)

Such a poisonous creature is listed in the Guinness Book of Records, like a spider that killed more people than any other member of the family. These spiders tend to cling to clothes, climb into cars and at home. These wandering spiders live in the tropics of South and Central America.

6. Blue-Ringed Octopus (Hapalochlaena lunulata)

These small, but very poisonous octopuses live on the coast of Australia. There is no antidote to the poison of this animal. If a person manages to receive a large dose, then complete paralysis and quick death from cardiac arrest occurs.

5. Poison Frog, Dart frog (Dendrobatidae trinitatis)

These poisonous reptiles are very beautiful and live in Central and South America. Spotted skin coated with poison can be dyed in bright colors. When it enters the human skin, the poison penetrates through microscopic lesions, it is perfectly absorbed through the mucous membranes. An adult has enough poison to kill 1,500 people.

4. Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)

The poison from one bite of this snake is enough to poison 100 people. Death in an adult occurs 45 minutes after a bite. Fortunately, Taipans are timid and creep away when a person approaches. These are the most venomous snakes in Australia.

3. Scorpio Leiurus (Leiurus quinquestriatus)

The neurotoxins contained in the poison cause severe pain, and then coma and paralysis. Most bites result in death. The most poisonous scorpions on the planet live in the Middle East and Africa.

2. King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah)

The world's longest poisonous snake reaches a length of 5.6 meters. Despite the fact that other snakes serve as a food source for this cobra, it often attacks people. The venom of the snake is very toxic, and its quantity is so large that in 3 hours an Asian elephant dies from one bite. King cobra lives in Southeast and South Asia, preferring dense forests.

1. Cubomedusa or sea wasp (Chironex fleckeri)

The most poisonous animal on the planet - A jellyfish with a dome of a cubic shape that lives off the coast of Asia and Australia. The toxins contained in the poison affect the heart and nervous system. Scientists estimate that in 60 years about 6 thousand people died from the poison of cubic medusa.
