Humans are the most dangerous specie of Earth without a doubt, after all we have the capacity
to ruin our natural environment at a global level and maintain the effects for centuries!
Now that we have established humans in a villainous light, let's move on to tell you that we
are not the only harmful beings on the planet!
Since we are more vulnerable inside water, that is where the maximum danger lies and
we are talking about fatal dangers so don't take it lightly!
Predators living under those pristine waters have the ability to give the aqua a tint of
RED, wanna know which ones to fear?
Number 10.
Stone fish This grumpy looking fish hasn't got the
title of the most venomous fish in the world for nothing!
Its appearance of a rock helps it hide perfectly in the depths of water bodies where you might
stand on it and get pricked by its 13 needle sharp spines!
You might encounter it on the land as well because it can stay out of water for 24hours.
So you might just not be saved!
If you are stung by it, you aren't only getting a heart fail with its neurotoxin but
will shriek in extreme pain as well.
Now that's a combination you would never want to come across!
Number 9.
Blue ringed octopus Being one of the the world's most venomous
marine animals, it certainly is a danger to your existence…in its close proximity!
Don't worry, you can easily spot it from a distance, thanks to its characteristic yellowish
skin with black and blue rings!
Despite its cute appearance you aren't going anywhere near because hello… it has enough
venom to kill 26 adults within minutes!
You know the worst part?
Their bite is painless.
Now you'd ask why this is a bad thing… come one people, you won't realize you've
been bit till paralysis begins to set and that would be too late!
Number 8.
Box jellyfish This group of species get their name from
their box like body and generally have venomous stings, the large sea wasp having the most
powerful of them!
It might not have a sharp set of teeth or even an obvious mouth but it is one of the
most dangerous thing you can encounter while in the waters.
One touch of its venomous tentacles and you will feel intense pain and burning sensation
which can further lead you to death.
The worst thing is that due to its transparent appearance you won't be able to detect it
before it can cause you harm!
Oops!
Number 7.
Barracuda With those fang like sharp teeth just like
the piranha's, you can well imagine the danger it is posing you.
But if that is not enough, just remember that they can grow upto 6ft in length in their
torpedo like shape that can inflict major injuries in the blink of an eye!
Most of the human attacks recorded involved knives and jewelry which it mistakes for prey
and hence attacks.
Their attacks can leave your tendons damaged or may even lead to bleeding of blood vessels.
Yikes!
In rare cases they have been known to cause serious injuries like breaking of ribs and
damaged lungs.
Whether or not it does that, you aren't going anywhere near it!
Number 6.
Lionfish Those lovely black, cream, white and red bands
attract us towards this pretty fish.
But while in the water, beauty is the real beast for humans!
Once their venom enters a human body, the effects are very systematic.
You will start off with headaches, fever, nausea, heartburn, numbness and sweating.
It is rare but their stings can lead you on the road to death, rare but still a possibility!
Fatalities in healthy adults due to lionfish might not be a thing but it will still leave
you in discomfort for several days!
Anyone wanting to mess with it?
Number 5.
Sea Snake This group contains many species of snakes
that are said to be evolved from snakes in Australia and later adapted to living in shallow
coastal waters.
Since they are closely related to cobras, some of them are highly venomous!
The only good thing is that there is a rare chance that it will inject its venom while
biting the prey, but in case that happens, it won't be pretty!
Effects start after 1 hour with vomiting and after 3-8 hours of biting, you will experience
muscle breakdown and kidney failure.
If not treated, you will experience cardiac attacks in less than 12 hours.
That's enough to scare us!
Number 4.
Flower Urchin Mesmerized by its beautiful appearance?
Congrats, you are in a grave danger because this beauty is anything but gentle!
Just one touch and you might receive an extremely painful and dangerous sting, so maintain distance
when you spot it!
It holds the Guinness Record of the world's "most dangerous sea urchin", now that
increases our fear exponentially!
This urchin can cause convulsions, shock and death by delivering venom through its pedicellariae.
We hope you aren't falling in this trap!
Number 3.
Textile Cone Snail "OMG that is so cute, I totally want one!",
that is how snail collectors will react on seeing the textile cone snail.
Those gorgeous patterns on its shell will surely pull you towards it but don't fall
in this trap!
This might come as a shock but yea people, snails can also be a threat to humans!
The tiny harpoons formed from modified teeth, they can fire deadly neurotoxins in any direction.
Some of them can even penetrate your wet suits and gloves to reach your skin, that is scary!
A single drop of its venom can kill 20 men, so it definitely is one of the most venomous
creatures on earth.
This beauty is a beast in itself!
Number 2.
Saltwater crocodile This didn't come as a surprise, right?
We all know that crocodiles are a threat to humans and we better don't make them angry!
Saltwater crocodiles are reported to have a bite force 10 times greater than that of
great white shark.
But you know the most terrifying thing?
They can even walk on land, so there isn't an escape!
They have caused thousands of human deaths annually and if you don't want to be one
them, stay as far as possible.
How about we move to another planet altogether?
Safe and sound!
Number 1.
Sharks We didn't surprise you here, sharks are
a well-known predator of the ocean and skipping them from this list would be an insult to
their existence!
Armed with rows of razor sharp teeth, they can be titled as killing machines without
a doubt!
There may be about 400 shark species but only a handful of them are a real threat to humans
but those few are enough to keep us away from our diving sessions!
Their bite is not only painful but can cut your limbs off and even kill you.
Have we scared you enough to not swim towards deep waters?
Which of these deadly animals do you fear the most?
