Nature is not only beautiful colors, diverse life and breathtaking landscapes. It is also full of dangers that may appear closer than expected. Beneath the depths of the oceans or the thickets of tropical forests, creatures lurk, whose beauty and mystery can mask a brutal danger to life. Some animals have perfected their defense strategies against predators or enemies so effectively that they have become nature’s true “poison laboratories”.
So what would happen if you accidentally encountered the most dangerous inhabitants of this world? We have a question for you!
Some of these animals are included in the scientifically compiled TOP-5 most dangerous list. Can you guess which one is the most dangerous?
Options:
- Blue-flowered octopus
- Cubomedusa
- Australian funnel web spider
- He liked it
- Black Widow Spider
Correct answer and facts:
Three of these animals are included in the TOP-10 most poisonous in the world according to scientists. Here they are:
- Australian funnel web spider (Atrax robustus)occupies 8th place. The venom of this spider is even twice as dangerous as cyanide. The venom can cause hypertension, arrhythmia and death in just a few hours. Small children can die from a bite of this spider within 15 minutes.
- [-[0]-] – small, beautiful, but deadly! He is considered one of the TOP-5 most dangerous poisonous animals in the world. The octopus weighs only 100 grams, but its venom is so powerful that it can cause complete respiratory arrest in just 10 minutes after being bitten, and a person can die within 30 minutes. The worst thing is that there is no antidote for that poison yet.
- Kubomedūza (Chironex fleckeri) considered the most dangerous creature on the planet. Its venom can kill in just 4 minutes. When faced with a swarm of these jellyfish, the chances of survival are practically non-existent. It is recognized as the most poisonous creature in the world, both in water and on land.
- Black widow: the most famous spider in the world
The black widow is deservedly considered one of the most dangerous spiders in the world. Although its bite is rarely fatal to adults, its extremely potent neurotoxins cause excruciating pain, muscle spasms, and nervous system dysfunction. This spider is most dangerous for young children, the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. Fortunately, effective antidotes have already been developed for these poisons. - Anaconda: the strongest strangler in the world
Anaconda is not poisonous, but it is one of the most dangerous and largest reptiles in the world. This strangler can grow up to 7-9 meters long and weigh more than 250 kilograms. Although the anaconda hunts smaller animals, humans can also be its prey. The anaconda does not bite – it twists its victim and squeezes it with such force that it can no longer breathe. There is practically no escape if this reptile begins its “death embrace”.
If you travel to exotic countries, oceans or tropical areas, avoid encounters with these poisonous animals!
