[Animals] The most poisonous animals on the planet

[-J3SUS-]

We must not be fooled by appearances: Although they may seem harmless, some animals could kill us in a matter of minutes or seconds. There are many poisonous species on planet Earth, and not all of them are snakes with sharp fangs or large spiders.

 

 

Did you know that the stonefish has one of the largest venom glands? This species (Synanceia Horrida) lives in the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean and with just 25 micrograms of its venom it could easily kill a 70-kilogram adult.

The blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena) is also the most dangerous cephalopod known to date, as there is no antidote for the venom it carries. This animal, despite being small in size, can take the lives of more than twenty people.

The poison dart frog (Dendrobatidae) is the most poisonous amphibian on the planet, as it secretes toxins capable of killing more than 1,500 people. In ancient times, Native Americans coated the tips of their arrows with this venom.

 

Another very dangerous species is the sea snake (Hydrophiidae). Despite being a shy reptile, it can attack if it feels in danger. This animal causes respiratory arrest, drowsiness and pain focused on the bite area.

We review the most poisonous creatures on the planet.
