The Blue-Ringed Octopuswhile beautiful is one of the most deadly creatures on earth, and resides primarily in Australia. These creatures come with fair warning as when agitated, their brown patches grow dark and bright neon rings appear in the middle of them. If you ignore it’s warning, this creature that’s smaller than your hand will release it’s toxin which can kill you within minutes. An individual will experience numbness, an impairment in their breathing, speaking and vision, vomiting, and abdominal pain. As the toxin doesn’t affect the brain, the individual will be completely aware of all of these symptoms before they go through the deterioration of voluntary muscle functions, and respiratory failure, leading to their death. Like most Australian animals, while terrifying and deadly, they will not attack unless threatened.
