The most dangerous animals on the planet that will shock you

We are naturally drawn to danger, but you will run away if you encounter a large scary animal, but what if the deadliest is not the largest creature on Earth, it could be small and harmless looking? Would it be a thrill? It might just be downright scary. Some of these animals don’t look dangerous but are actually lethal. While you might be thinking of mosquitoes and worms that are, indeed, quite fatal to humans, today we will explore the planet for some of the world’s most dangerous animals that may just be a literal nightmare. So let’s jump into this dangerous thrill together as we find the deadliest animals and creatures on planet Earth.

Megalopyge Opercularis
Toupee Caterpillar. The puss caterpillar is the most poisonous caterpillar in the United States.

Burmese Python
Among the largest snakes in the world, Pythons are particularly dangerous for more than just its size and vicious lunge. These snakes are known for constricting and suffocating their prey. Burmese pythons can get to be almost as long as a school bus. Florida everglades is also home to the invasive species that were once pets.

Ticks
Ticks are able to spread terrible bacteria and viruses like Lyme’s disease and the Powassan Virus. Both can have fatal consequences. Opossums, marsupials found in the Americas, may not look like much but opossums can eat hundreds of ticks per day, according to research, opossums attract ticks and opossums’ favorite dish is ticks! opossums are the unsung heroes, saving you and your animals from a painful illness.

Vespa Mandarinia Japonica
Japanese Hornet. These hornets are predators. In Japan, they are responsible for more annual human fatalities than even bears and snakes combined. The deadly predators attack smaller insects and cut off the pieces to take home to share. For humans, their sting can make you seriously ill, and can even be lethal.

Hadronyche
Australia, a land filled with wonderful unique animals like koalas and kangaroos, is also home to one of the most venomous spiders in the world. The web is not as pretty as the orbs found in a garden. This one is shaped like a funnel. A bite from one of these spiders is almost a sure demise for the victim. After being bitten, it only takes 15 minutes to take down an adult human. No other spider’s venom acts that quickly.

Trimeresurus Stejnegeri
Bamboo Snake. Chinese Vipers are only about the length of an arm and are a bright green color. A cursory look might have you thinking they’re not very dangerous, but think again. Their fangs contain a powerful venom that stays in your body for up to 24 hours. The site of the bite will actually turn black from necrosis setting in.

Jellyfish
located in the Indo-pacific regions of the world, from India to Australia and Japan, this jellyfish is “named the world’s most venomous creature.” The box jellyfish is the length of your ink pen but its tentacles can be longer than a tall human.

Hippopotamus
extremely territorial and aggressive animals. They will even capsize boats if they feel threatened. One French Zoo director learned a permanent lesson about the dangers of the Hippopotamus.

Parabuthus Transvaalicus
Spitting Thicktail Black Scorpion. From South Africa, meet the scariest scorpion of all. The spitting thicktail black scorpion (Parabuthus transvaalicus) not only does it have 2 types of venom in its powerful thick tail, but it also spits it up to 3 ft, causing temporary blindness, and could cause permanent damage to the eyes of the target.

Horse
Pomacea
Freshwater Snails. Found in Asia, Africa, and South America, these freshwater snails emit schistosomiasis, a deadly parasitic disease. When infected with the parasite, the liver, intestines, and spleen all take critical damage.

Eunectes Murinus
Giant Anaconda. The amazon is a magical place. We’ve heard the legends--the legends that deep in the Amazon, giant anacondas lie in wait to terrorize locals and tourists alike. But is the giant anaconda fact or fiction?
