The most deadliest animals on earth- Blue ringed octopus the 32nd deadliest animal

32. Blue-Ringed Octopus


Humans Killed: 3 people (in total that have ever been recorded)

Where They Can Be Found: Australia, Japan, Philippines and India 

Notable Features: Blue rings on its body


What Makes Them So Dangerous



While most octopus squirt ink as their line of defense, the blue-ringed octopus dispenses a deadly poison — enough to kill 26 humans within minutes. Despite its power, this marine creature is only the size of a pencil and can be spotted by the noticeable blue rings on its body. 

If you were to hold it in the palm of your hand (please don’t!), it would bite you and inject tetrodotoxin, a deadly toxin also found in pufferfish. It’s unlikely that you’ll encounter these killers as they tend to hide in dark crevices about 165 feet underwater.
