The person it is proud calls itself a nature wreath. Perhaps, in respect of intelligence the situation is and so. However in case of self-defense of people – the most vulnerable being. What cannot be told about some representatives of fauna.
Four of dangerous beings
The Guinness Book of Records is constantly supplemented with new human fulfillments. However the five of the most poisonous animals of the planet remains invariable. Scientists investigated poison of inhabitants of savannas, lakes, oceans, jungle and other areas to find out of whom the person should steer clear.
The fifth place was taken by a little bright frog poison dart frog. These inhabitants of South and Central America hid in forests, waiting for curious fans of the nature. Effective frogs can have various coloring: sapphire-black, golden, yellow, burgundy-scarlet and so forth. However this beauty is very pernicious: poison of one cool without problems will cope with 10 people.
In this case bright color – the first sign of danger of an animal. Earlier natives used poison of poison dart frogs to make the arrows deadly.
The Australian snake taypan was at the fourth place. Its poison is neurotoxic: it holds down muscles, paralyzing internals. Death occurs within 45 minutes. Poison from one sting will be enough for 100 people. However there are two good points: antidote is produced and taypan she is very timid. Having scented danger, the snake will prefer to disappear. Scientists allocated the third place to the scorpion Leyurus living in areas of the Middle East and North Africa. Poison of an animal represents burning mix from neuroleptics which, having got to blood, gradually kill stung. At first there is wild pain, then – coma fever which develops into convulsions. After them there is paralysis and death. On the second place the royal cobra living in Asian forests located. The snake got an honourable line of rating because of huge amount of poison which she is capable to mark out. One sting kills an adult elephant in three hours. The person – for much shorter period. Only plus: the cobra seldom attacks the first and also long warns the person who disturbed her.
Who on the planet the most poisonous?
The first place of the most poisonous creations of the planet is given to Kubomeduze whose second name "a sea wasp". This animal is entered in the Guinness Book of Records since it is capable to kill the person for a period of time from 1 to 3 minutes. At the same time scope of killing tentacles very wide: at the same time the animal can sting about 60 people in a radius of 8 meters.
The sea wasp lives in oceanic waters at coast of Northern Australia, sometimes meets in regions of the Southern Asia. In water the animal is almost indiscernible. The only being protected from its terrible poison – a sea turtle.
Kubomeduza's poison works instantly and is irreversible. It is extremely toxic, immediately attacks nervous system and a cardiac muscle. Antidote exists, however to use it is almost unreal. The stung people generally sank from painful shock or died of a cardiac rupture. There are some survivors who noted painful consequences even several weeks later after a sting.
