Most dangerous animals in the world
The present world has a very extensive fauna that is able not only to escape from the threat but also to resist it. There are representatives who do not seem dangerous at all, but they can kill at the same time. In this top, we will consider different types of dangerous animals.
1. Scorpio Leirous
This little black scorpion can kill you in a matter of minutes. Dwells mainly in Africa, also found in the Middle East. Unlike the rest of his fellows, he is very dangerous and stinging the victim does not leave her the slightest chance of survival. The poison spreads through the body, causing savage pain, then paralysis and death.
2. Pisces
At the second line of our rating are located just 3 types: fugue, fish-stone, and piranha. Let's dwell on each more in detail:
Fugue is an incredibly attractive delicacy among the peoples of Asia, but it is very poisonous. The cook must correctly remove all the poisonous glands otherwise the meal for the delicacy lover will be the last. A painful death from suffocation and complete paralysis are waiting for the man.
Fish-stone is a very quiet inhabitant of the water expanses, which never attacks the first. The poison is used solely for protection purposes. However, if a person is struck by her poison, then there comes an instant paralysis, accompanied by infernal pains, and the gradual withering away of the tissues.
Piranha. This species has gained some popularity due to the artistic coverage in various books and films. It is not surprising because the mouths of these inconspicuous seemingly fish are filled with deadly teeth that are ready to dig into the victim at any second. Basically, they attack other fish, less often in marine animals, people generally do not often. However, it is worthwhile to beware, because their razor-sharp teeth can tear out whole pieces of flesh.
3. Leo
An amazing representative of the cat family. It combines the perfect beauty, grace, and incredible strength and speed. This predator hunting requires a team, but driving a victim of any size for lions is not a problem. He can accelerate to 50 km / h and is able to jump over the fence, holding a cow in his fangs. Incredible power ... In Kenya recorded a case of repeated attacks on people of an aggressive lion - he killed 135 people.
4. African elephant
The elephant itself is a herbivore and has no enemies as such, but every year its victims are about 500 people, whom it pierces with tusks and tramples on its feet. In defense of elephants, it should be said that aggression is manifested only in cases of provocations from people. The elephant has excellent hearing and a strong nose, and the greatest danger is at the time of mating. This is due to an increase in the testosterone level 60 times. Because of this, seeing another male or man, the animal can attack.
5. Bear
A surprisingly massive and formidable beast, which horrifies its victims with its own kind. To date, the world knows eight species of bears that live in Asia, the Americas and Europe. The most dangerous of them are brown and polar bears. Most of them are considered omnivorous, but there is an exception - a polar bear. He is considered exclusively a meat-eater and eats only animals. He is not afraid of people, but he does not particularly want to contact. It is noteworthy that when you meet a bear, it does not make any sense to run away - it can develop an enormous speed (about 60 km / h). They rarely attack people, but by and large, this is due to the fact that people often do not go to their habitat.
6. Inland Taipan and Egyptian Cobra
Inland Taipan
An interesting fact is that Taipan is very shy and tries in every possible way to avoid interaction with other animals. However, this type of Taipan is the most dangerous - only 30 mg/kg of the body can be a lethal dose. When you bite, the snake injects 44 mg, but it can even more - up to 110. In size, it is very, very significant and can reach 2 meters in length. Lives in Australia, mostly in sparsely populated areas. Its poison is called "taipaksin" - this is the strongest poison that is now known to science, and it acts, causing suffocation and paralysis of the brain, as well as muscles. Surprisingly, to date, there are no confirmed deaths.
Egyptian cobra
This species has a golden brown color and lives in the forests of Africa. Her glands are capable of producing a poison of incredible power, which can kill a person in just a few hours. It is noteworthy that even an elephant can die from the bite of the Egyptian cobra in 3 hours. The poison causes paralysis of the airways, and the victim dies of asphyxia.
7. Ring-shaped octopus
The octopus is small - no more than a tennis ball, but the size is deceptive and this pretty creature can easily kill you. During the attack, the octopus completely changes color and becomes dark. There are glowing spots on it. In this case, a person simply loses sight and dies of suffocation. Surprisingly, the antidote has not been found all the time. This miracle lives in Japanese waters and the only way to escape from it is not to encounter it.
8. Kubodusa or sea wasp
Habitat - warm waters. It can be Asian or Australian waters. Pale blue jellyfish weighs only a couple of kilograms and has 15 three-meter tentacles. The jellyfish entangles its victim with its tentacles and it simply dissolves by poison.
A person trapped in tentacles can still get ashore, but this will be the most painful thing because the pain will be incredible.
The poison hits the target in just three minutes, then irreversible brain damage occurs, and a shock of the nervous system can occur. Then the heart stops. Since 1884, 63 deaths have been recorded between a man and a sea owl.
9. Banana Spider
Externally, this spider does not cause any fear, but it is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most sinister killer. This nickname was received deserved - from the poison of this little spider, a huge number of people died. Also, it is necessary to be afraid, as it has no definite habitat - it can be found anywhere.
10. Spotted Dartman
These small frogs live in the forests of the tropics of Costa Rica and Brazil. Their bright color warns others that it is not worth it. Yellow, blue and green shades predominate.
