Box jellyfish ranks among the top ten most dangerous marine animals, and box jellyfish has won the most dangerous title for its unique lethality. There are many kinds of box jellyfish living in the ocean. Although there is no official record, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that dozens of people or even more than 100 people are killed by box jellyfish every year. According to the data provided by the National Science Foundation of the United States, in the Philippines alone, 20 to 40 people die from the bite of box jellyfish every year. The Science Foundation said: "In many countries, the tragedy caused by box jellyfish does not require a death certificate, so the number of deaths caused by box jellyfish in the world may be greatly underestimated."
There are dozens of tentacles in australian box jellyfish, each of which can be as long as 15 feet (about 4.57 meters), and the toxin is enough to kill 60 people. One is Chironex.
The stings of the Freckley box jellyfish can kill people in as short as 3 minutes. Box jellyfish living in Hawaii, Florida and other parts of the United States can cause heart failure in the stabbed person. The most terrible member of the box jellyfish family is the curly-tailed jellyfish, and the pain caused by stabbing can be comparable to lightning. So far, it is still unknown how many people were attacked by the capuchin jellyfish.
Tiger Shark Because of the publicity of related films, the great white shark attracted everyone's attention. But the most terrible shark is not a great white shark, but a tiger shark. In fact, more people die from them. Apart from poisonous snakes, there are few animals that can make people naturally afraid, and sharks are one of them.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, tiger sharks will bite almost anything, including fish, seals, birds, squid, baby sharks, dolphins, license plates and even old tires. Their height can reach 18 feet (about 5.48 meters) and their weight can reach 1 ton. They are well-deserved "marine killers".
Tiger sharks can be found in many tropical and temperate waters, especially around the islands in the central Pacific Ocean. Records show that great white sharks attack people more times each year than tiger sharks, but the number of accidents that cause death is not as good as tiger sharks.
We have only a few reasons to explain why sharks have missed the title of the top ten most dangerous marine animals: the number of shark attacks on people around the world every year is about dozens, which is roughly the same as the number of lightning strikes in the United States. In 2008, only four people in the world were killed by sharks.
There are two main reasons why stone fish rank among the top three: first, they are the most poisonous fish in the world; The other is that they are masters of camouflage in the animal kingdom, and they can "lurk" quietly at the bottom of the sea like stones, waiting for their prey to take the initiative to come to the door. Although the stone fish will not take the initiative to attack, no one dares to risk close contact with it. The spines on the back of the stone fish can resist attacks by sharks or other carnivores. The released venom will cause temporary paralysis, and if it is not treated, it will die.
There is an animal that can kill people even if it is made into delicious food and put on the table. It's puffer fish The puffer fish, also called "puffer fish", carries more toxins than cyanide. Specially trained Japanese chefs will make the safe parts into delicious food, but the tragedy of diners dying of poisoning often happens.
The name "air drum" comes from the strong water absorption ability of puffer fish, and its volume is twice as large as normal after inhaling a lot of water. It is worth mentioning that puffer fish also plays a life-saving role, and drugs made of tetrodotoxin can be used to treat withdrawal symptoms caused by heroin and other drugs.
Isn't the clown fish the cutest clown fish? No, the attack power of clownfish is basically equal to 0, but clownfish all live in anemones, which are poisonous.
Anemones live on reefs and hunt by waiting for the fish to deliver themselves to the door. Anemones will anesthetize small fish with tentacles and then slowly eat them.
Clownfish will secrete a mucus, which can prevent clownfish from being stung by anemones, so clownfish can live in anemones and rely on anemones' toxicity to protect themselves.
Many novice divers can't help but feel the clown fish in MengMeng, and then put a finger into the anemone, which is neutral and not good. Although it won't be fatal, it hurts very sour!
Feather starfish just accidentally hung on your wet clothes. It's hard to clean, and it's easy to stab the skin and stick it all day.
This thing often hangs on rocks and won't touch you actively, but divers with poor neutrality often accidentally touch it and worry all day.
Avoidance: practical neutrality, avoidance.
