You are looking at the most poisonous animal 

in the world welcome back Charlie here we  

all love animals some look so exotic and 

cute you might want to touch or pet them  

but if you like staying alive you should keep 

your hands well away from any of these animals  

first we have to look at this animal this is a 

sea urchin there are over 200 different species  

of this very spiky animal if you see one of these 

when diving in the sea do not touch it there are  

two reasons you don't want to touch this animal 

for one it has spikes that can damage human skin  

the second reason is that within these spikes is 

a poisonous venom if these spikes punch your skin  

then venom will be released into your bloodstream 

a sea urchin sting is very painful it will cause  

massive swelling and the stinger might even get 

lodged inside your skin after a few hours you will  

feel drowsiness weakness and your muscles will 

begin to ache sometimes people have even become  

paralyzed thanks to these stings sometimes these 

stings can even get infected causing people to  

lose their entire hand or foot in some rare cases 

the venom of this animal even takes humans lives  

moving on let's look at a very scary animal found 

above ground this is the brazilian walking spider  

this is one of the most venomous types of spider 

in the world these spiders can grow pretty massive  

at 8 inches long unlike most spiders these do not 

build webs normal spiders build webs and wait for  

prey to land in it but these spiders are much more 

aggressive they crawl the jungle floor in search  

of food hunting down anything in their path their 

greek name is phonutria which means murderous  

these massive spiders even eat things like rats 

and mice they're also known for standing on their  

hind legs they have gigantic fangs and they use 

these fangs to inject toxins into their prey these  

toxins cause massive pain they also lead to your 

blood pressure either dropping or going very high  
this will lead to your heart beating incredibly 
fast you may then go into a shock reaction before  

passing away so if you're trekking through 

the brazilian jungle then avoid this insect  

it is definitely the most menacing and sinister 

spider in the world now let's look at an animal  

even more poisonous this is the blue ringed 

octopus it may look amazing and even cute  

but that's why it's so dangerous many people 

make the mistake of touching these animals but  

those who do do not survive for long these can be 

found in the pacific and indian oceans blue ringed  

octopus are actually the world's most venomous 

animal just one of these tiny creatures contains  

enough venom to take 26 lives they grow to be a 

maximum of eight inches long they're very slow  

moving and calm and they look beautiful this means 

many humans make the big mistake of picking these  

up but when foolish divers and swimmers are bitten 

by these they pass away the bite of a blue ringed  

octopus is almost impossible to feel by the time 

you realize you've been bitten it will already  

be too late their venom is more than 1 200 times 

more powerful than cyanide one of the most deadly  

poisons known to man if you're bitten by one of 

these you will experience paralysis within minutes  

if you're still swimming this means you won't be 

able to and will drown and if you've got out of  

the water it means you won't be able to move your 

arms and legs meaning you can't call for help or  

go to a hospital soon you won't be able to breathe 

you may also begin to vomit and lose your sense of  

sight and after about one hour you will pass away 
there is no anti-venom for this bite so if you  

fall victim to a blue ringed octopus there is no 

escape you'd simply have to accept that within an  

hour you will no longer be alive that fact alone 

makes this one of the most terrifying animals on  

the planet moving on let's look at the lanomia 

obliqua it's actually a form of silkworm they're  

normally around two inches long and are either 

green or orange they are found in the jungles of  

south america but why are these so dangerous well 

they're covered in these tiny hollow bodied hairs  

these can be dropped off and breathed in by any 

threat to this animal these hairs are also so  

sharp they can punch your skin so if you ever 

see one then never touch it these are the only  

caterpillars in the world which are deadly to 

humans each of their stings also release toxins  

you need to be stung around 20 times to receive 

a fatal dose of their venom but they can do this  

very easily and very fast especially if you were 

to touch one or pick one up it's believed this  

animal has taken 500 human lives if you're stung 

by one of these you will experience nausea and  

vomiting after a few hours and then 24 hours later 

you will pass away the scary thing about these is  

they look soft and innocent many don't realize how 

deadly they are until they pick one up and by that  

time it's already too late moving on let's look at 

the indian red scorpion all scorpions can be scary  

and dangerous but this is the most dangerous 

scorpion on the planet these can be found in  

india pakistan and nepal they're normally around 

4 inches long and come in a wide variety of colors  

including yellow orange red brown and even blue 

they're nocturnal meaning that they come out  

only at night but this makes them dangerous 

as they're hard to see they exist in large  

numbers near towns and villages it will inject 

you with toxins which can be deadly there is  

no antivenom for this scorpion meaning that if you 

get bitten by one then you won't make it out alive  

sadly most victims of these are children they 

don't realize the danger and then pick one up  

also a very small amount of this animal's venom 

is enough to take a child's life so whatever you  
do avoid this animal at all costs next let's 
look at the cone snail cone snails don't seem  

like threatening animals but don't be fooled some 

cone snails are harmless but others can be deadly  

the reason why some are so dangerous is because 

they're so slow they move at a snail's pace on the  

ocean floor and because of this they need a way 

to capture their prey they use their tooth like a  

harpoon and shoot it into prey this tooth injects 

venom into their prey this paralyzes their prey  

almost instantaneously divers swimmers and shell 

collectors often pick these up that's because  

they're known for their beautiful shells but this 

can often lead to people getting stung and passing  

away this tooth does not look sharp but it is it 

easily penetrates human skin and can even pass  

through gloves so far cone snails have taken 27 

human lives if you're stung you will be in great  

pain you will also have difficulty seeing and 

breathing after a few hours you will experience  

vomiting and then you will pass away they have 

a nickname which is the cigarette snail that's  

because if you're bitten by one you probably 

only have time to smoke a cigarette before you  

pass away even if their shells look beautiful 

it's not worth risking your life to collect one  

moving on let's look at harvester ants most ants 

are just annoying but harvester ants can end your  

life they are found in north and south america the 

most deadly species is the maricopa harvester and  

if one of these crawls on you or you pick one 

up then you will be in grave danger first they  

emit pheromones which summons other ants to come 

and attack you then they start biting your skin  

they don't just sting you once but many times and 
each of these stings causes a burning pain which  

can last many hours they also inject venom into 

you and if you're stung more than 100 times then  

this can be fatal 100 times may seem like a lot 

but these ants act very fast and each year people  
pass away thanks to these ants finally let's look 
at the clownfish thanks to the movie nemo many  

people view clownfish as harmless and friendly 

but be warned clownfish can be very dangerous  

the clownfish's appearance is actually designed 

to be a warning clownfish are known for biting  

humans to keep them away they're also capable of 

surviving poisons from other fish so next time  

you see a clownfish when diving you might want to 

keep your distance but now it's time for you to  

make your voice heard comment below which was the 

scariest animal in this video if you want to see
