Minute Science: Most Poisonous Animals

2015-10-13
everyone this is a Greg with science Studios minute science we're going to count down the top-5 deadliest animals on the planet stay tuned number five on our list is the stonefish this one is particularly dangerous because it looks like a stone I mean literally it blends in with its surroundings in the water that it looks like coral this is dangerous because divers kind of put their hands on everything when they're down there if you accidentally touch a stonefish you're kind of out of luck out there because well you're out there in the water so that's why that one's number five on our list it would be higher if more deaths have been reported by it number four on our list may look familiar if you follow our Instagram account number four is the poison dart frog is's in particular the golden poison dart frog native to the Amazon areas of South America this thing actually carries packets of poison on its back natives would dip the tips of their arrows on to these little sacs on the back of the frogs and would use those to not only wound but poison their enemies we're back to marine animals with number three this one is the blue ringed octopus this thing is actually super super small and it's smaller than the diameter of a golf ball but if this thing happens to SiC its tentacles onto your skin you know just swimming around in the ocean you probably will go blind and not only that but if the thing latches onto you for a long enough period of time your respiratory system will fail so keep an eye out for these small little blue ringed octopus swimming around in oceans and such we've chosen the king cobra for number two not just because it's poison is well very poisonous but because so many people die from this one snake in particular every year yes anti-venom exists but the availability of the anti-venom in the places where this thing happens to Rome is very very minimal but don't get me wrong if you get bitten by this thing you're in a heap of trouble just seven milliliters of poison from a king cobra is enough to kill an elephant that's about 20 human beings look out for the king cobra in the these parts of the world i'll let you have a longer look at that so that you can you know memorize it we are back to marine biology for our number one most deadly and poisonous animal on the planet this is the box jellyfish most of you have probably heard of the box jellyfish before but what makes this thing so deadly and so dangerous is the fact that it is nearly transparent in the water if you get stung by one do not apply any ice do not apply a heating pad in fact one of the only natural remedies to reduce the searing pain from a box jellyfish is to apply vinegar to the stung area once the toxin reaches your bloodstream your blood begins to thicken and your blood pressure increases this can lead to an almost immediate heart attack and thus death so those are our top five most poisonous animals on a planet I think we can agree that most of those are extremely deadly as well if you think that we missed any animal on this list please leave its name and phone number in the comments below and we'll put them on our next top five deadliest poisonous scariest animals video that we put on minute science later on this is science studio thanks for learning with
