15 Most Venomous Animals on Earth

Alright, let's get this out of the way. Poisonous and poisonous are not the same. There are countless lists and videos titled "Top 10 Most Venomous Animals" that, apart from

most

of them being copies of each other, usually have about eight poisonous

animals

listed. They are poisonous

animals

that inject toxins into their prey and then there are poisonous animals that release toxins in or on a predator Now that you properly understand the difference, let's get into the actual introduction of the fish duo, perhaps the

most

common fear that all humans share is In fact, the fear of poisonous animals, the fear of spiders and snakes are the two most common phobias.

This fear is usually misplaced, as the vast majority of snakes and spiders are completely harmless. However, I'm afraid this video won't help allay any fears you currently have. Keep the animals on this list in order by increasing the subcutaneous lethal dose by fifty percent, so the further up the list we go, the lower the amount of venom that would be needed to potentially end your life. The fifteenth blue-ringed octopus, this one shy and the size of a golf ball. The octopus has a

venomous

bite with an LD50 of only 0.3 to 0.36 milligrams per kilogram. A milligram weighs approximately the same as a dollar bill or a large grain of sugar and already on this list we have a poison deadly enough to be lethal in quantities that weigh less than that, for mice around twenty-five milligrams are needed. of poison to kill an adult human male;

However, a single blue-ringed octopus contains enough venom to kill 26 humans. The small octopus will bite when it feels threatened and many do not even feel the small cut in its skin and only realized they had been invented when symptoms began to appear. These symptoms include breathing problems, paralysis, heart failure, blindness and death in just a few moments. fifteen minutes if left untreated there is no antidote for blue ringed octopus bites your only hope is artificial respiration until the symptoms disappear so be sure to avoid the pretty blue ringed octopus if you ever find yourself in the coast of Australia.

Quick note: You'll soon notice that Australia is mentioned regularly in this video number 14, stonefish, spines. Stonefish contain crude venom with an ld50 of only 0.3 milligrams per kilogram, making stonefish the most poisonous fish in the world, and of course they live in the Indo-Pacific region and around Australia. The poison is injected based on pressure on the fish, so if you step on one with all your weight and foot, you will probably receive a large and lethal dose of poison. The venom causes severe pain, muscle corrosion, tissue death, nerve damage and paralysis, making the stonefish a perfect fish for your aquarium.

Fortunately there is an antidote available for stonefish, although an untreated sting will certainly it could kill you. We recommend watching Smarter's video each day to learn more about stonefish number 13, the Deathstalker scorpion. Scorpions are one of the oldest poisonous species. animals on the planet with ancestors dating back more than 400 million years, so it's no surprise that one species has had enough time to produce one of the deadliest poisons on the planet, with an ld50 of just 0.25 milligrams per kilogram . These little killers carry enough venom to kill a child or someone allergic to this poison, but are rarely fatal to healthy adults;

However, a bite can cause excruciating pain. They are found roaming North Africa and the Middle East and feed primarily on insects, something their venom is well suited to killing quickly. For some reason, a rumor is circulating that scorpions can glow in the dark to confuse predators. This is completely false. Scorpions only glow under ultraviolet light, not to mention that glowing in the dark would be the worst defense imaginable for something trying to hide from predators in the dark. dark number twelve Mojave rattlesnake The neuro and hemotoxins produced by this snake have an LD50 of 0.21 milligrams per kilogram and are found living from the Mojave Desert to central Mexico.

The Mojave rattlesnake is perhaps the most toxic snake in the Americas according to ld50, they are more active. from April to September and can be found accidentally by humans as they blend in very well with their surroundings. The venom transferred in a Wahhabi rattlesnake bite will produce extreme pain, destroy tissue, kill nerves, and can be lethal. Luckily for us, the snakes rattle to warn. nearby animals are kept away and there is also an antivenin available, although there are still several deaths caused by these snakes every 11th year, the killer caterpillar did not expect to see a soft moth larva on this list, did you find it in southern Brazil ? and even Erick why the hemotoxin carried by the killer caterpillar has an ld50 of point 19 milligrams per kilogram, which causes internal bleeding around the bite site if you are unlucky enough to place a body part on the green caterpillar, Fortunately, a caterpillar does not appear to contain enough venom on its own to cause the death of a healthy adult human;

However, caterpillars like to hang out in large groups in trees. If you accidentally rest your hand against them, you will probably bleed to death from the inside. Caterpillar poison has been produced, but that doesn't mean stepping on one of them hurts any less. The number 10 Sydney funnel-web spider, for some reason Australia seems to be home to numerous incredibly toxic organic death machines, but millions of people still insist on The living male spiders of this species carry a trackhoe toxin, a venom with With an ld50 of 0.16 to 0.25 milligrams per kilogram, the fangs of this spider are like long, hardened daggers that can pierce the toenail with a good enough blow, in fact, the fangs sink very deeply.

When the spider attacks you have to pluck it or shake it vigorously from the skin, the venom of the funnel web spider attacks the respiratory system and could cause death in just 15 minutes. Since 1981 there have been hundreds of bites, but thanks to the creation of an antivenom, not a single death has been attributed to spider number 9, the Brazilian wandering spider, for decades. If you've seen our video covering deadly toxins that, you may notice, need to be modified after the 50s in this video, then you should already know a thing or two about the Brazilian wandering spider.

Phoneutria venter toxin 3, with an ld50 of only 0.134 milligrams per kilogram, is what makes this spider the most

venomous

in the world, if enough venom is administered per bite, death from paralysis and suffocation can occur although it has a third symptom known as priapism, you can look up what that means for yourself, although grade a low a has referred to the spider as the death bone 1 because of this, the Brazilian wandering spider gets its name because of its exploration . from the jungle floor at night before finding a place to hide during the day, one of these places could be a banana orchard which in turn takes the spider on a ship to a foreign country to be sold to a family unprepared and to an anti- Poison exists, although if you are in a country thousands of kilometers from Brazil, you may have trouble getting Maricopa Harvester number 8 and I bet you didn't think that the most poisonous insect in the world would be an ant , huh?

The sting of the Maricopa harvester ant, found almost exclusively in Arizona, has an LD50 of just 0.12 milligrams per kilogram. The sting of a single forager ant will inflict intense burning pain that lasts for approximately hours. Fortunately, each ant weighs a little less than a milligram. Therefore, it would take more than 200 stings to kill a full-grown adult, unless you are allergic to them. Unfortunately, each sting contains an alkaloid that alerts other nearby ants and activates them to attack. There is no antidote for these ants, but it is doubtful that anyone has actually died from Maricopa ha mr.

Rance, black tiger snake number seven, back to the subtropical areas of Australia, come on, the ld50 of black tiger snake venom is around 100 micrograms per kilogram, which is 2000 times more deadly than sodium cyanide. Tiger snakes quickly flee from humans, although if threatened they may do so. It attacks with incredible precision and carries enough poison to kill dozens of people. The cocktail of toxins released by a black tiger snake can kill within 30 minutes using a combination of antidote to blood clotting and paralysis that has greatly reduced the number of deaths per year caused by tiger snakes, although it is not They treat, they have a 40 to 60 percent mortality rate and there are still victims every year or so who couldn't get to the hospital fast enough.

The number 6 krait of many bands in southern China, Vietnam and Taiwan are home to an incredibly venomous and cannibalistic species of snake, the mini ringed krait has a special neurotoxin with an ld50 of only 90 to 108 micrograms per kilogram, a venom that causes very little pain and almost no swelling, but a few hours after being bitten, the symptoms of the bite eventually appear in the form of double vision, flu-like symptoms, and difficulty breathing. All cage species feed on a variety of animals such as fish and frogs. However, they are also adapted to feeding on other snakes, even their own species, although curiously they are very placid. snakes and seem to attack only when directly threatened. dubois sea snake number 5 From here on out we won't abandon the area around Australia in the Indian Ocean as we cover the five most venomous animals in the world, most sea snakes are incredibly venomous, but the do-boy sea snake is, by far the most poisonous of the group, with venom having an ld50 of only 44 micrograms per kilogram.

Have you ever seen a moray eel before they were the eels with huge jaws and a second pair of jaws extending from their throat used to swallow prey, yes the children's sea snake hunts and eats juveniles of those eels, Considering the fact that moray eels can easily tear off human fingers, it is no wonder that the children's sea snake has such powerful and fast power. venom neuro and hemotoxic action fortunately for us sea snakes are very docile snakes and only use venom when defending themselves about 25% of the time for the sea wasp with an LD50 of only 40 micrograms per kilogram, this translucent jellyfish is both the most venomous and deadliest jellyfish in the world, being responsible for more than 100 deaths in the UN since 1884.

The tentacles of the sea wasp can reach up to 3 meters long and house thousands of small cnidocytes that act like small darts venomous that release venom into the skin of animals, a single large sea wasp carries enough venom to kill about 60 people, those stings are usually mild, however, if you somehow become entangled in the jellyfish, the amount of venom released by Their stingers could be life-threatening through cardiac arrest in just 2 to 5 minutes. Its sting described the pain the tentacles inflict as if branding you with a hot iron wherever it lands on your skin. There is an antidote available, but if you've been stung enough to need it, you may never return to shore. number 3 the eastern brown snake known as the second most venomous snake in the world the cocktail of neurotoxins and blood coagulants of the eastern brown snakes has an ld50 of only 36.00 5 to 50 micrograms per kilogram this snake can frequently be found in lands of culture as they are attracted by their main food source, mice that generally prowl human settlements, a bite from an eastern brown snake can cause seizures, dizziness, kidney failure, paralysis and of course death if untreated, despite the eastern brown snake being only the second most venomous snake in the world in Australia 60% of all fatal snake bites can be attributed to the eastern brown snake.

You know, it almost feels like Australia was never intended to host human life number two. The Taipans of the interior. The venom of the inland Taipan, drop by drop, makes it the most poisonous snake in the world. the planet and with an ld50 of just 25 micrograms per kilogram, a single snake can carry enough venom to kill more than 200,000 mice or about 55 adult humans, the poison cocktail carried through the interior of Taipan appears to be designed to kill everything what it contains. neurotoxins chemotoxins myotoxins and possibly more, it all boils down to an untreated death that kills over 80% of people bitten when their tissues literally break down and cause their organs to fail.

The best thing about the snake is that it changes color since winter. until summer, whichmakes it even more difficult to identify. Fortunately for most living creatures, this snake is only found in remote areas of Central Australia, but seriously, if you're afraid of snakes or spiders, why would you live in Australia? Number one. Be honest. Watching this video, did you even have the slightest idea that the most poisonous animal on the planet would be a snail? The geographic cone snail, only six inches long as an adult, harbors a venom made up of a complex of hundreds of toxins that have an ld50 ranging between 12 and 30 micrograms per kilogram, and of course this specific snail lives throughout the Australia's northern coast, a wonderful destination for family holidays.

The cool little tube you see sticking out of the shell acts as a chemoreceptor for picking up. the smell of nearby prey the method by which a cone snail releases venom is by using a hidden harpoon that launches its victims from inside its mouth the venom acts so quickly that people used to believe it only had enough time to smoke a cigarette before dying, I guess it makes sense that the geography cone snail has such a powerful and fast-acting Vin after all, it's a snail, it's not like it can chase its prey, as always, be sure to check the description . sources until the next video cheerio just remember it you bite it and you die it's poisonous it bites you and you die it's poisonous you bite it and I die it's voodoo whoo
