Ten Most Poisonous Animals in the World...Photos and Info.. 10+Most+Poisonous+Animals+01

The top prize for The World Most Venomous Animal,would go to the Box Jellyfish.
It has caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since 1954.
Their
venom is among the most deadly in the world. Its toxins attack the
heart, nervous system, and skin cells. And the worst part of it is that
jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human victims go in
shock, drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore.
Survivors experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies...

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 jellys
nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the bloodstream (though
it will not alleviate the pain). Wearing panty hose while swimming is
also a good prevention measure since it can prevent jellies from being
able to harm your legs.
Jelly box can be found in the waters around Asia and Australia.

King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the worlds longest venomous snake -

snake can easily kill a human.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.

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

This little beautiful looking Marbled Cone snail can be as deadly as any other animal on this list.
One drop of its venom is so powerful that it can 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, dont even think of picking it up.
Of course, the true purpose of its venom is to catch its prey.
Symptoms of a cone snail sting can start immediately or can be delayed in onset for days.

It
results in intense pain, swelling, numbness and tingling. Severe cases

The
Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the size of a golf ball, but
its venom is so powerful that can kill a human. Actually it carries
enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and there is no
antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the worlds most
venomous animals.

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.

Death Stalker Scorpion

Contrarily
to the popular belief most of the scorpions are relatively harmless to
humans as stings produce only local effects (pain, numbness or
swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is 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.

Fortunately,
while a sting from this scorpion is extremely painful, it would be
unlikely to kill a healthy, adult human. Young children, the old, or
infirm (with a heart condition) are at the biggest risk.
Death stalker scorpions are spread in North Africa and Middle East.

affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the worst pain known
to man.
