Extremely Dangerous Animals From Around the World
The next time you want to go thrill seeking and play with death, try confronting these animals. But if you love your life and value your safety, it is best to stay away from these extremely dangerous creatures.
Blue Ringed Octopus
Don’t be fooled by the beauty of this octopus. At first glance, this animal seems like a perfect living room decoration. Unfortunately, it is considered as one of the most venomous creatures on planet Earth. Probably as dangerous or even more fatal than any snake out there! It is usually found in tide pools in Australia, Japan and other countries in the Pacific region. The blue ringed octopus uses the traditional camouflage technique, the typical “you think I’m not here, but I am” approach to biting. The good thing is that the blue ringed octopus doesn’t bite until it is provoked. The bad news is, there’s no known antidote to its venom.
The Black Mamba
Let me clear out the ‘controversy’ once and for all. The Black Mamba is not a frog, it is a snake! (I’ve actually seen and heard people wrongfully refer to the Black Mamba as a poisonous frog). Anyway, any kindergarten student knows that snakes are poisonous, but the Black Mamba is much more fatal than any other snake. It is considered one of the world’s most dangerous and fatal snake, and is found in rare places in Africa. It is also considered the second largest venomous snake in the world, with an average length of 8.2 feet. If you’ve ever watched the movie Kill Bill, actress Daryll Hannah used the Black Mamba snake to kill and double cross a negotiation partner. A word of advice: Don’t mess with this snake. Or better yet, never mess with any snake at all!
The Saltwater Crocodile
This animal is considered the largest of all living reptiles. A typical saltwater crocodile can grow to as much as 23 feet and may weigh up to 3,000 pounds. It is known to attack and eat any living thing within its range and territory, especially humans! According to reliable scientific measurement, the “bite force” of the saltwater crocodile is so strong that it could break any bone in the skeletal system in just one or two bites. The average bite pressure of an adult saltwater crocodile is approximately 5,000 pounds! And mind you, this crocodile can outrun any horse in short distances. Who says crocodiles can’t run fast?

Good job on the research Verniel. There’s one in a million probability that I’d ever get close to those creatures. The extremely dangerous creatures I’ve ever been near to are men who have bloated egos. Have lots of them here.

Verniel, you scared me. I promise to leave all these creatures alone!
On February 26, 2009 at 8:21 pm
They are scary creatures but beautiful in a strange way. I don’t think I want to meet one ofthem.

Love the Black Mamba. So intriguing. Dont think I would want to get too close though.

“Anyway, any kindergarten student knows that snakes are poisonous”
1) A very small number, minuscule even, of the tens of thousands of snakes are venomous.
2) It’s venomous not poisonous. There is no such things as poisonous snake. Venomous animals inject their toxins (teeth, stingers, etc), poisonous animals transfer it when they are consumed.

You still have to admit that they’re all so cute. Interesting info.

Well-written, but I do not know about the “It is known to attack and eat any living thing within its range and territory, especially humans!” Crocodiles hide from people. Also, most snakes are non-venomous and none seek out humans.

Interesting list. I’m confused why you do not mention that the Black Mamba is the fastest land snake in the world (able to reach above 10 mph). Also, it is not more fatal than all other snakes. Although it is in the top 10 most venomous land snakes it is beaten out by many others including the Inland Taipan (who tops the list) while many sea snakes make any land snake (including the Taipan) seem harmless.

Wonderful article, this just goes to show we are never to old to learn something new. Well done.

Anon, I never mentioned that the saltwater crocodile is venomous…but it REALLY attacks humans if their territory and sense of space are invaded.
Now we know that not all crocodiles hide from people.
Andrew, I think there’s a slight misunderstading and the fault is all mine. What I mean by ‘fatal than any other snake’ is that the Black Mamba is NOT a typical venomous snake. I did not mean that it is the MOST venomous snake out there. If that’s the way it sounded, I didn’t mean that. I’ll try to submit a fix for that particular phrase.
Meanwhile, the statement that says, the Black Mamba is “considered the second largest venomous snake in the world” is fact. No controversy about that.
Thanks for commenting.
Sincerely,
Verniel

Love the first picture. Very beautiful, but obviously dangerous. I hate snakes and gators.

Too bad, the ringed octopus is beautiful!

I’m glad that I can read about these animals and see what they look like. As long as I’m not looking at them up close and personal.

Surely and Certainly, they are killers, murderers, and mamamatay nilalang.
On March 5, 2009 at 7:55 am
Fascinating creatures, but I’d be inclined to agree with everyone else: the prospect of coming face to face with them is quite terrifying!
