Stonefish: While talking of venomous fishes, the Stone Fish leads the line as being one of the most venomous fishes of the world. Resulting in the worst known kinds of pain in the victim, the venom of this fish also causes paralysis, shock & tissue death. These are mostly found above the Tropic of Capricorn & the shallow marine waters of Indian & Pacific Ocean.
Box Jellyfish: Leading the list of the world’s most venomous animals is the box jellyfish. It is found mostly in the waters around Australia & Asia. The toxic & painful venom of this jellyfish attacks the heart, skin cells & nervous system causing the victim to go in a state of shock & ultimately death.
King Cobra: The Ophiophagus Hannah or the King Cobra as it is better known, growing up to 5.6 mt in length is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. A single bite of this snake-eater can prove fatal for humans. Though the venom of King Cobra is not so toxic, it is dangerous as it can inject 5 times more venom than other venomous snakes.
Blue-Ringed Octopus: As opposed to the size of the Blue-Ringed Octopus, it contains venom that can kill any human. Recognized as world’s most venomous animals, the painless bite of this octopus causes numbness leading to cessation of breathing & ultimately death.
Poison Dart Frog: The small & colorful looking poison dart frogs of Central & South America are venomous enough to kill about 10 adult humans.
