According to materials:
The fauna of our planet is so diverse that a huge number of insects, reptiles, and mammals coexist in it, which are able to withstand an external threat using fangs, spikes and teeth. But there are representatives of the fauna, having a small size, appearance which does not cause fear, but they have found a different way of defense or attack - these are tentacles, teeth, claws or a poisonous sting.
The most formidable weapon is the poison of some individuals, which poses a mortal danger to humans. One type of poison causes excruciating pain, another causes cardiac arrest, and the third causes paralysis of the nervous or respiratory system. But the result in most cases - death! All representatives of the animal world can hardly be called dangerous in the full sense of the word: their behavior is driven by hunger and self-preservation instincts. As a rule, animals dangerous to human life and health do not attack just like that - they simply protect their territory and their offspring from encroachment.
Let's get acquainted with the ten ferocious animals of the planet, which are not recommended to be disturbed by a person, since the threat of attack is high.

Everything that gets caught and tangled up in long tentacles cubic jellyfish, is affected by poison, which simply dissolves the prey. A person who has fallen into her arms can still get out to land, but the pain he experiences will be just hellish. Rescuers say that the pain, if the affected limb is cut off, will not be as severe as the sting of a sea wasp, leaving deep scars for life. Three minutes after the poisonous sting of the jellyfish, brain functions are disturbed, shock occurs. nervous system and the heart stops. In the period from 1884 to the present day, 63 deaths have been recorded as a result of a human encounter with a sea wasp.

The most dangerous thing about the poison of this cute baby is that today the antidote has not yet been found! The insidious octopus lives in Japanese and Australian waters, and there is only one salvation for a person - to follow certain precautions.
5 Most Dangerous Snakes - Inland Taipan and Egyptian Cobra
An interesting fact is that this snake has a shy disposition and tries to avoid proximity to other animals.

But in the mouth of these dangerous underwater creatures there are several rows of small and sharp, like a razor, teeth, ready to cling to the victim and tear off pieces of flesh from it. They attack fish, marine animals, and rarely people.

1 African Boomslang Snake
Despite its beautiful coloration, this snake, which lives mainly in southern regions Africa is one of the most dangerous on the planet. She has very large fangs, with which she can easily bite through a person’s leg, protected by clothing.
The boomslang has excellent eyesight, the best among its species, which makes it an excellent hunter. There are eyewitness accounts who saw how this snake caught birds on the fly, hanging from tree branches.

2. Poisonous cone snail
Another representative of the most dangerous animals on the planet is the cone snail, which lives in warm tropical waters. The shell of this mollusk is very beautiful and inexperienced divers, when trying to pull a colorful souvenir from the seabed, get a strong stab with a sharp, poisonous spike.

Half an hour later, death occurs from respiratory paralysis and of cardio-vascular system.

But in fact, according to statistics, in Africa, under the paws of these seemingly harmless creatures, more people die every year than from all other animals combined! Hippopotamuses are territorial animals, and in principle, they don’t give a damn about a person until he wanders into their territory. Unfortunately, hippos hide excellently in the water, leaving only their nostrils on the surface, and people trying to go fishing or just get water often disturb the giant.
And then the outwardly clumsy herbivore turns into an angry death machine weighing 4 tons, with a huge gaping mouth, he rushes to the poor fellow who disturbed his peace. The unfortunate person has practically no chance to escape, the hippopotamus will pursue its victim to the last, until it crushes it with its huge paws.

A person simply cannot move, any slightest movement is given by unbearable pain in the muscles. Intolerable suffering can easily cause shock and death of the bitten.
Before the arrival of doctors and the introduction of an antidote, only artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation can save the victim.

The poison of it sea creature contains two deadly toxins - saxitoxin and tetrodotoxin, which by themselves can kill an adult, and their combination turns into just a deadly cocktail.
In the ocean, the puffer fish has almost no enemies, even such marine predators as sharks, which are at the top of the food chain, try to avoid meeting this small fish. And only a person is ready to eat it in order to "tickle his nerves", risking an incredibly painful death in the event of an inept cook's mistake.

But the attention of scientists, this creature began to attract the last 20 years, during which time the killer caterpillar killed several hundred people in Brazil alone. Previously, there were no cases of Lonomia attacking a person.
Lonomia stings a person almost painlessly and one of her bites is not capable of causing serious harm to the body, but traveling along tropical forest, you can accidentally touch this disgusting creature more than once, and then the consequences will be very serious ...
Several dozen Lonomia bites can lead to kidney failure, destruction of red blood cells and, as a result, profuse internal bleeding.
And to make the victim even “happier”, then the blood will simply stop clotting and will ooze from the eyes, ears and nostrils, dooming the victim to a painful death. Scientists still cannot understand such a strange behavior of these caterpillars, which have never sting a person before.
