These Are The Most Venomous Creatures On Earth

Platypus

The first European explorers that saw the body of a platypus thought it was a fake animal. In fact, they thought it might’ve been sewn from other animals. However, this mammal is very much real—and venomous as well. Although not deadly to humans, it causes intense pain, and it’s capable of killing dogs.

This animal is often seen as an icon in Australia, and the state of New Wales has it on its emblem. Only the males are venomous, and the effect can last for months. Keeping a platypus is dangerous, and even animal care experts have difficulty keeping them in a zoo.
