As living creatures, animals have many ways to protect themselves from predators.
Some animals have amazing physical abilities while others may have other abilities, namely venom.
In this list, we will show you 5 animals with most deadly venom!
Box Jellyfish (Chironex Fleckeri)
The box jellyfish, found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific, is considered one of the most venomous creatures in the world. Its tentacles contain toxins that can cause heart failure, paralysis, and death within minutes if stung.
Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus)
Also known as the "fierce snake" or "small-scaled snake," the inland taipan, native to Australia, has the most toxic venom of any snake. Fortunately, it is reclusive and rarely encounters humans.
Cone Snail (Conus spp.)
Cone snails, found in tropical and subtropical oceans, have a harpoon-like tooth that they use to inject venom into their prey. Some species of cone snails produce venom so potent that there is no known antivenom, and a single sting can be lethal to humans.
Stone Fish (Synanceia spp.)
Stonefish are masters of camouflage and are found in the Indo-Pacific region. They have spines on their dorsal fin that deliver a potent venom capable of causing intense pain, tissue necrosis, and, if left untreated, death.
Boxfish (Ostraciidae)
While boxfish might seem harmless due to their small size and boxy appearance, some species contain highly toxic proteins in their skin and organs. In certain cases, consuming boxfish can lead to tetrodotoxin poisoning, which can be fatal.
