and motionless creatures the dangerous stonefish lays motionless in the shallow waters
of northern australia the animals are fatal to step on but one might never see them for example

his knife the man went fishing and was attempting to freeze stuck lure when the incident happened
the crocodile appeared for a split second before knocking him over and immersing him in the water

stab the crocodile in the head many times number 7 blue ringed octopus the blue ringed octopus is a
delight when you see them in aquariums and other display stations now outstanding the ball-sized
creatures have a deadly level of venom in them when they bite you be prepared to undergo life
altering circumstances your body fails shuts down and becomes paralyzed and then you stop breathing
treatment is possible but few people have survived it of course it would be more realistic to stay
away then test the treatment potency in december 2018 the dad was rushed to the hospital after
picking up a seashell which accidentally contained the world's deadliest sea creature aaron picks 42
pocketed a seashell with an octopus hiding idiot they went home to perth in western australia and
discovered the animal in the sea shell another one was hiding in his pocket the one in his pocket had
already started touching his leg when he noticed it the octopus tentacle's mouth brush on his

they can stay in the swimming pool for hours the potential bite is excruciating and can cause
death ian beard was cleaning out a dread to have a relaxing australia day later when a funnel web
bit him he was waiting for his wife to shower so they could head out together when he decided to
declog the drains as he waded around he noticed that no leaves were coming out of the hole so he
pushed his hand in it and was bit by the spider the bite on his index finger would have caused so
much damage if his wife did not apply a tourniquet to prevent the venom from traveling and dialed the
