You are looking at the most poisonous animal in the world welcome back Charlie here we
all love animals some look so exotic and cute you might want to touch or pet them
but if you like staying alive you should keep your hands well away from any of these animals
first we have to look at this animal this is a sea urchin there are over 200 different species
of this very spiky animal if you see one of these when diving in the sea do not touch it there are
two reasons you don't want to touch this animal for one it has spikes that can damage human skin
the second reason is that within these spikes is a poisonous venom if these spikes punch your skin
then venom will be released into your bloodstream a sea urchin sting is very painful it will cause
massive swelling and the stinger might even get lodged inside your skin after a few hours you will
feel drowsiness weakness and your muscles will begin to ache sometimes people have even become
paralyzed thanks to these stings sometimes these stings can even get infected causing people to
lose their entire hand or foot in some rare cases the venom of this animal even takes humans lives
moving on let's look at a very scary animal found above ground this is the brazilian walking spider
this is one of the most venomous types of spider in the world these spiders can grow pretty massive
at 8 inches long unlike most spiders these do not build webs normal spiders build webs and wait for
prey to land in it but these spiders are much more aggressive they crawl the jungle floor in search
of food hunting down anything in their path their greek name is phonutria which means murderous
these massive spiders even eat things like rats and mice they're also known for standing on their
hind legs they have gigantic fangs and they use these fangs to inject toxins into their prey these
toxins cause massive pain they also lead to your blood pressure either dropping or going very high
this will lead to your heart beating incredibly fast you may then go into a shock reaction before
passing away so if you're trekking through the brazilian jungle then avoid this insect
it is definitely the most menacing and sinister spider in the world now let's look at an animal
even more poisonous this is the blue ringed octopus it may look amazing and even cute
but that's why it's so dangerous many people make the mistake of touching these animals but
those who do do not survive for long these can be found in the pacific and indian oceans blue ringed
octopus are actually the world's most venomous animal just one of these tiny creatures contains
enough venom to take 26 lives they grow to be a maximum of eight inches long they're very slow
moving and calm and they look beautiful this means many humans make the big mistake of picking these
up but when foolish divers and swimmers are bitten by these they pass away the bite of a blue ringed
octopus is almost impossible to feel by the time you realize you've been bitten it will already
be too late their venom is more than 1 200 times more powerful than cyanide one of the most deadly
poisons known to man if you're bitten by one of these you will experience paralysis within minutes
if you're still swimming this means you won't be able to and will drown and if you've got out of
the water it means you won't be able to move your arms and legs meaning you can't call for help or
go to a hospital soon you won't be able to breathe you may also begin to vomit and lose your sense of
sight and after about one hour you will pass away there is no anti-venom for this bite so if you
fall victim to a blue ringed octopus there is no escape you'd simply have to accept that within an
hour you will no longer be alive that fact alone makes this one of the most terrifying animals on
the planet moving on let's look at the lanomia obliqua it's actually a form of silkworm they're
normally around two inches long and are either green or orange they are found in the jungles of
south america but why are these so dangerous well they're covered in these tiny hollow bodied hairs
these can be dropped off and breathed in by any threat to this animal these hairs are also so
sharp they can punch your skin so if you ever see one then never touch it these are the only
caterpillars in the world which are deadly to humans each of their stings also release toxins
you need to be stung around 20 times to receive a fatal dose of their venom but they can do this
very easily and very fast especially if you were to touch one or pick one up it's believed this
animal has taken 500 human lives if you're stung by one of these you will experience nausea and
vomiting after a few hours and then 24 hours later you will pass away the scary thing about these is
they look soft and innocent many don't realize how deadly they are until they pick one up and by that
time it's already too late moving on let's look at the indian red scorpion all scorpions can be scary
and dangerous but this is the most dangerous scorpion on the planet these can be found in
india pakistan and nepal they're normally around 4 inches long and come in a wide variety of colors
including yellow orange red brown and even blue they're nocturnal meaning that they come out
only at night but this makes them dangerous as they're hard to see they exist in large
numbers near towns and villages it will inject you with toxins which can be deadly there is
no antivenom for this scorpion meaning that if you get bitten by one then you won't make it out alive
sadly most victims of these are children they don't realize the danger and then pick one up
also a very small amount of this animal's venom is enough to take a child's life so whatever you
do avoid this animal at all costs next let's look at the cone snail cone snails don't seem
like threatening animals but don't be fooled some cone snails are harmless but others can be deadly
the reason why some are so dangerous is because they're so slow they move at a snail's pace on the
ocean floor and because of this they need a way to capture their prey they use their tooth like a
harpoon and shoot it into prey this tooth injects venom into their prey this paralyzes their prey
almost instantaneously divers swimmers and shell collectors often pick these up that's because
they're known for their beautiful shells but this can often lead to people getting stung and passing
away this tooth does not look sharp but it is it easily penetrates human skin and can even pass
through gloves so far cone snails have taken 27 human lives if you're stung you will be in great
pain you will also have difficulty seeing and breathing after a few hours you will experience
vomiting and then you will pass away they have a nickname which is the cigarette snail that's
because if you're bitten by one you probably only have time to smoke a cigarette before you
pass away even if their shells look beautiful it's not worth risking your life to collect one
moving on let's look at harvester ants most ants are just annoying but harvester ants can end your
life they are found in north and south america the most deadly species is the maricopa harvester and
if one of these crawls on you or you pick one up then you will be in grave danger first they
emit pheromones which summons other ants to come and attack you then they start biting your skin
they don't just sting you once but many times and each of these stings causes a burning pain which
can last many hours they also inject venom into you and if you're stung more than 100 times then
this can be fatal 100 times may seem like a lot but these ants act very fast and each year people
pass away thanks to these ants finally let's look at the clownfish thanks to the movie nemo many
people view clownfish as harmless and friendly but be warned clownfish can be very dangerous
the clownfish's appearance is actually designed to be a warning clownfish are known for biting
humans to keep them away they're also capable of surviving poisons from other fish so next time
you see a clownfish when diving you might want to keep your distance but now it's time for you to
make your voice heard comment below which was the scariest animal in this video if you want to see
