These Are The Most Venomous Creatures On Earth
Box Jellyfish
The box jellyfish is mostly present in the Indo-Pacific waters. However, it has also been seen in the Atlantic. There are different species, and some of them are considered extremely dangerous for humans. This is because contact with these animals could cause someone’s death in less than two minutes.
The effect is hyperkalemia—increased blood potassium—which results in a heart attack and death. Furthermore, unlike other venomous animals, the box jellyfish hunts its prey instead of only attacking when bothered. Interestingly, turtles don’t seem to be affected, and they love having a good box jellyfish for dessert.
