Poisonous, Venomous, & not to be f**ked with

The toxins that these beautiful looking frogs release can kill up to 10 men per frog. Keep in mind, these guys are typically about an inch long. The indigenous tribes of Colombia would use the frog’s venom for their poison blow darts!

Stone Fish

The stone fish camouflages easily with the ocean floor, making it an accident waiting to happen for some divers. Their spines contain a toxin that can cause you to swell up and go into shock before ultimately dying. Although there is a treatment available for the toxin, it needs to be taken almost immediately, which isn’t the easiest thing to do when you’re swimming on the ocean floor.

Death Stalker Scorpion

With a name like that, you really should be worried when you run into these bad boys. They’re also translucent in appearance making them all the more hard to spot. These guys are considered the most dangerous kind of scorpion, who’s sting will be extremely painful- but wont kill a healthy human being. Children, elderly people, and people with heart problems or allergies have a higher likelihood of death through the death stalker’s sting.

Marbled Cone Snail

There is no treatment for the Cone Snail’s toxin. If you’re lucky and only get a small dosage, you’ll experience swelling, tingling, numbness, and inflammation. However, the unlucky few who get a higher dose of it’s toxin will suffer through vision loss, respiratory failure, paralysis, and death. You won’t find any Marbled Cone Snail escargot in restaurants around the world, that’s for sure.

Box Jellyfish

Here it is, the thing that is considered by most to be the deadliest living thing in the world (that isn’t a human). The Box Jellyfish is nearly invisible when you’re not looking directly at it, and it’s toxin can cause high blood pressure and death in a very short amount of time if not treated. If you ever find yourself stung by one, submerge the affected area in vinegar as you get yourself to a hospital ASAP!
