We generally think that snakes are the most poisonous of animals. However more deadlier than them is the sea-wasp, which is a kind of jelly-fish. The sea-wasp is found in the shallow waters of Northern Australia, Atlantic Ocean and in the Indian Ocean.
The sea-wasp is colourless and has a bell shaped body with about 50 tentacles. Each of these tentacles have about 750,000 stringing cells capable of injecting venom into their enemies or prey. Any creature which brushes against those tentacles is immediately injected with this venom. Pain and a burning sensation is caused followed by death in five minutes. The venom of the sea-wasp is highly toxic and can kill even men in minutes. So one has to be careful while swimming in the shallow waters where sea-wasps drift about.
