Many animals around the world produce venom in order to defend themselves from other predators. Poisonous creatures come in a bunch of different sizes, shapes, and colors. Here are the top 5 most poisonous creatures in the entire world:

5. Death Stalker Scorpion – The Death Stalker Scorpion is highly dangerous due to the powerful cocktail of neurotoxins it contains in its venom. Although its sting is incredibly painful, it is unlikely to kill a healthy human adult.

4. Blue Ringed Octopus – The size of a golf ball, the Blue Ringed Octopus is the smallest of its kind, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in venom. When threatened, bright blue rings light up across its body warning those nearby of its poisonous qualities.

3. Marbled Cone Snail – Although unthreatening in appearance, the Marbled Cone Snail is one of the most poisonous animals in the world. It injects its prey with potent venom, and just one drop of it can kill up to 20 adult humans.

2. King Cobra – The King Cobra is the world’s longest venomous snake. Unlike other snakes, they inject five times more venom in a single bite allowing them to kill animals as big as elephants. They live in forests across South-East Asia.

1. Box Jellyfish – The Box Jellyfish is considered to be the most poisonous animal in the world. The jellyfish’s tentacles, which have over 5,000 stinging cells, contain a toxin that is so powerful it instantly stuns or kills their prey.
