Sea Stingers
The sea wasp, also known as the Australian box jellyfish, is the world's most venomous animal. It is known to have caused the death of at least 70 people in the last 100 years. Its poison attacks the heart, bringing death within 3 minutes of being stung if the victim is not given medical attention.
