Info
The most venomous animal in the world is the box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri), found primarily in the coastal waters of Northern Australia and throughout the Indo-Pacific region. The venom of the box jellyfish contains toxins that attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. It can cause extreme pain, paralysis, cardiac arrest, and even death in humans. The tentacles of the box jellyfish can deliver venom through thousands of microscopic stingers called nematocysts, making it a highly dangerous marine creature.
