Cone Snail

These Caribbean sea critters have a charming, little, and delicate look and reside near the coast in shallow water and on coral reefs. However, beauty is nothing without its accompanying beast. These snails, measuring 4 and 6 inches in length, hide projectors that resemble fangs filled with venomous poison. The sufferer faces the possibility of total paralysis if the venom, which is termed conotoxin, enters the body. Your best hope is to go to the nearest hospital emergency department as soon as possible. You had better move quickly because according to the snail’s moniker, “cigarette snail,” the poison will kill you in about the same length of time it takes to light a cigarette.

Saltwater Crocodile

In contrast to the black mamba, the saltwater crocodile is far more likely to attack when provoked since they are more sensitive to pain. Oceanic regions close to India, Vietnam, and northern Australia are known to have crocodile populations. Its inability to compete with humanity is shown by the fact that it weighs more than a ton and is 23 feet long. In contrast, a man’s bite into a piece of meat only generates a pressure of around 200 pounds per square inch. Their bite provides a force of 3,700 pounds per square inch. Crocodiles are responsible for hundreds of fatalities yearly, which is more than sharks.
