Its venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobra is capable of injecting five times more venom than the black mamba and can result in mortality up to 5 times faster than that of the black mamba. >Navigate using pages below

8. Poison Dart Frog – World’s Most Venomous Amphibian Just 2 micrograms (the amount that fits on the head of a pin) of its toxin is capable of killing a human or 10, 000 mice or other small mammals. They are called “dart frogs” because indigenous Amerindians use their toxic secretion to poison the tip of their blow darts. This poison of this animal can be found on its skin and will kill anybody who touches or eats it. 7. Stone Fish – Most Venomous Fish The Stone Fish hold the title of “World’s Most Venomous Fish”. Its sting is so powerful that some people insist it causes the most terrible pain experienced by man. It appears similar to the colour of the stones in the water (hence the name), this characteristic makes it difficult for swimmers to recognize it, step on it and trigger the sting. A sting that would leave you begging that the affected part should be amputated. The Stone Fish has gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt any predator and stepping on its spine would at best cost you your leg and at worst your life. 6. Brazilian Wandering Spider – 2007 Most Venomous Animal (Guinness Book of Records) Not only is this spider the most venomous spider, it also appear in the Guinness Book of World Records (2007) as the world most venomous animal, it is also the spider responsible for most human deaths. This animal has a tendency to wander (thus its name). They can be found hiding in houses and cars of densely populated areas, especially during daytime. It is also called the “Banana Spider” because they like to hide in banana plants. 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. 5. Blue Ringed Octopus This is a very small animal, about the size of a golf ball. Do not underestimate it because of its size, it holds enough venom to kill 26 fully grown adults and unfortunately, there is no antidote. To make matters worse, its bite is usually painless; you will only become aware of it when the deadly neurotoxins begin to work, which is almost immediately. If you ever get bitten by this animal, you will be paralyzed within minutes and unable to breathe at the same time. Assuming you receive artificial respiration, the toxin will show you no mercy as you will remain conscious until the venom is neutralized by your body. 4. Puffer fish – Second Most Venomous Vertebrate This is the second Most Venomous Vertebrate (The first is the dart frog) in the word. Its victim generally dies form suffocation caused by paralysis of the diaphragm muscles. The poison can be found on the skin and certain organs of many puffer fish. This puffy fish produce rapid and violent death. Puffer’s poisoning causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, rapid heart rate, difficulty in breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims die from suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed. Most of the victims die after four to 24 hours. There is no known antidote. You certainly do not need to be told to stay away from this fish right? Surprisingly enough this fish is a delicacy in Japan and Korea. And you thought Nigerian were stubborn. On the bright side, only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare this delicacy. 3. Marbled Cone Snail – Most Deadly Sea Creature The Marbled Cone Snail is very rare animal and its nickname is the “Cigarette Snail,” it has ben said that when you are stung by this animal, you’ll have just about enough time to smoke a cigarette before you stop breathing. A single drop from this creature is enough to end 20 adult lives. Its venom causes severe pain, inflammation, numbness, breathing problem and even muscle paralysis. By now you should know better than to pick up this snail. Just in case you are the stubborn type, we might also add that there is no known antivenom. So do not touch, ever. 2. Inland Taipan – Most Venomous Serpent The venom of the Inland Taipan contains enough venom to kill 100 grown men or 250, 000 mice. Believe it or not, its venom is 200 – 400 times more toxic that a common cobra. A single bite can lead to death within minutes. Fortunately, this snake is very shy and there have been no documented human fatalities (all known bites have been treated with antivenin). Yes it has an antivenin. 1.Box Jelly Fish – Most Venomous Creature The Box Jelly Fish kills more people every year than sharks, crocodiles and stonefish combined. It is transparent in nature making it difficult to spot in water. The sting is so powerful that the overwhelming pain is enough to cause shock, drowning or heart failure even before reaching shore. The toxins from this creature attack the nervous system, heart and skin cells. You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the box jelly’s nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain). Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies. Random question, would you eat this puffer fish even if prepared by a licensed chef?
