?
Since there are ten creatures on the list, we will introduce them based on their rankings.
topped the list with Australian box jellyfish , its alias is also called Sea Wasp . Because of its "square head and square brain", people will also call it Australian square jellyfish .
Beautiful Australian box jellyfish
This jellyfish mainly lives in the waters along the northeast coast of Australia, and its transparent body is its best camouflage. Some people may think that how can this kind of mollusk , which looks insane, be regarded as the king of poisons?
can only be said, because you don’t understand the power of box jellyfish. This guy’s tentacles are as long as 3 meters long and have as many as 60 . More importantly, there are nearly a thousand sting cells on each tentacle. Among these cells, there is a full of venom, waiting for the prey to come to your door.

Once it is provoked, even the shell with hard armor will be hit twice, and the surface will be scratched. This is because the small bent thorns on its tentacles are very sharp. After is stimulated, it will attack and release venom .
In addition, according to scientists' observations, the toxicity of box jellyfish toxin is stronger than that of cobra toxin, and can kill people within 30 seconds. In other words, if a person is attacked by such jellyfish, then he will not have to struggle and he will die suddenly in an instant.
It is worth mentioning that since this guy has too many toxin reserves, the toxins contained in a box jellyfish is enough to kill 60 adults . And judging from the above situation where you can die 30 seconds after being poisoned, even if you have 1 against 60, it can easily kill in seconds.

The second-ranked organism is called Aikitrin sea snake , also known as Qinghuan sea snake or spotted sea snake . This guy lives in the same sea area as the box jellyfish. It is about 1.5 meters long and has a large number. He likes to raft along the water in groups.
The toxin of the Akitrin sea snake is very powerful. Like most snake venoms, its toxin is also acting on the nerves . When prey is poisoned, symptoms of paralysis, respiratory failure and will soon appear, and then die within tens of minutes.
However, according to the information, this snake has a bad temper. As long as it does not feel violated, rarely launches an active attack on people . Therefore, people often go to catch these sea snakes, after all, their economic and nutritional values are very considerable.

3rd place Blue ring octopus should be a familiar creature. After all, many people have shown themselves raising this octopus on short video platforms.
Compared with other octopuses, the blue-ringed octopus is not big, but it is very beautiful, especially when it encounters danger, it will emit blue light .

But the more charming it is, the more dangerous it is. This guy's blue light is not a welcome signal, but the last time he gives those who are close to it a chance to escape. Its mouth can easily bite through the diver's wetsuit, and then eject the poisonous ink out of . Previously, there was a case of a diver in Australia who eventually died because of his attack.
is not difficult to see that the top three poisons on the list all live in Australian .So if you have the opportunity to dive in the sea where these creatures live in the future, you must be careful to stay away from them. After all, once you are hit by their venom, there is no possibility of survival.

After talking about the top three, let's take a look at which seven brothers ranked low.
The remaining "Seven Brothers"
The creature ranked fourth is called Poisonous Swallow , also known as Tiger Fish or Stone Fish . Compared with Australia's 18,000 miles away, this guy is distributed in Xisha Islands in my country and in the waters near Taiwan Province.
Its appearance does not look like a "serious fish" and has a lot of bulges on its body. But you must not underestimate these spinous processes, because there are poison glands on it. Once it is pricked, the toxins in its body will enter the human body along the wound.
is good at hiding stone fish
Because this guy is so "thorny" and very good at disguising, people pay special attention when going to fish in their living waters, for fear of accidentally stepping on them, which will lead to poisoning.
The fifth place is Palestinian scorpion .
They mainly live in the Far East, and their appearance is no different from ordinary scorpions, and their attack methods are the same as ordinary scorpions. uses scorpion tail with a needle.

No. 6 is funnel spider located in Australia. If you think about it carefully, this is already the fourth creature in Australia to be on the list.
It lives in the suburbs of Sydney City and is known as one of the most toxic spiders in the world. Once bitten by it, it may die within 15 minutes. More importantly, this kind of spider does not like to stay in the wilderness, but likes to "put on" people, especially likes to stay near the toilet seat, which makes people creepy when going to the toilet.

No. 7 is also from Australia. It is a poisonous snake that lives on land, called Taipan snake .
It is very large in size and generally feeds on mammals in the woods. When encountering humans, it basically chooses to avoid them. Of course, if someone pursues it relentlessly, then Taipan Snake will attack.
Its power is that can launch attacks continuously and can quickly release venom with each attack.

According to the data, every bite of Taipan snake, it can inject 10 mg of toxin, and the venom of can easily poison hundreds of thousands of mice . After its venom hits its prey, it will cause symptoms such as heavy bleeding and kidney failure.

ranked last two are the more familiar King Cobra and Black Mamba Snake , both of which are very aggressive. And taking King Cobra as an example, this guy is not only very terrifyingly toxic, but also very large in size. The length of the largest individual can reach meters .
To sum up, we can really draw a conclusion, that is, has tens of millions of the most poisonous creatures on the earth, and Australia can account for half of the . However, many people expressed their disapproval of this list, because poison dart frog , silver ring snake , etc. were not on the list.
The list is quite controversial
From the current perspective, the main controversy is that the ranking of the Akitlin sea snake is actually higher than that of the Taipan snake. Because these two types of snakes are the strongest venomous snake in the ocean and the strongest venomous snake on land, in this way, no matter what, they have to be on the same level, so many people think that the sorting here is problematic.
venomous snakes comprehension comparison
Of course, when the magazine selected this list, it believed that it was starting from " toxicity ". The smaller the amount of venom that can quickly kill people, the higher the ranking of its owners. If we talk about this, there is really no problem with Australia's box jellyfish ranking first.
