Today’s topic is all about the most ferocious animals on the planet. Even though animals might not be the hottest topic on this channel, we’re here to help you understand more about the animal kingdom.
Let’s start with Sea Snakes. These venomous snakes live in the marine environment, with a horizontally flattened body structure like that of eels. Sea snakes have no gills and often have to rise to the surface to breathe. They are commonly found in warm coastal waters from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and are mostly poisonous, with the Bell sea snake being named the most venomous species in the world. The Bell sea snake’s main food is pangasius, puffer fish, or sometimes squid. They have a recognizable black, white, or blue-black color. A few milligrams of their venom is enough to kill thousands of people, and they can kill with just one bite. The person bitten by the Bell sea snake will not feel pain immediately, but will become active 4 hours after the venom is absorbed into the body, leading to human death. Fishermen are often victims of this snake because they often get caught in their fishing nets. Also, encountering sea snakes suddenly is common because they often have to surface to breathe. So, friends who often go to the beach, remember to pay attention and avoid this dangerous animal.
Moving on to the Blue Spotted Octopus, which is one of the most unique types of octopus. They are easily recognizable with their blue spots and usually eat small animals such as crabs, shrimps, and other crustaceans.
The Blue Spotted Octopus is considered the most venomous sea creature in the world. Although they are relatively small in size and gentle in nature, if threatened, they can pose a threat to humans as their venom contains the powerful neurotoxin tetracin. 25 g of this octopus venom can kill 10 people weighing over 70 kg. Their colors change due to the sunlight or the depth of the water, becoming colorful when excited or preparing to attack. Blue Spotted White Octopus usually hides rather than attacks, but if attacked or threatened, it will release a poison that paralyzes the opponent. So, those who are unlucky to step on the Blue Spotted Octopus will quickly be attacked by them.
Let’s move on to the Nile crocodile, a carnivorous species of crocodile that lives in Africa and is known for its large size.
They are obsessed with all creatures, including humans in their habitat, and are considered a threat to human life. A Nile crocodile can be up to 5 meters long and weigh about 225 kg, with individuals weighing up to 700 kg. Their favorite food and 70% of their diet is fish, but they can eat almost any vertebrate every time they drink water, except for adult elephants and hippos. They also often eat zebra, the meat of young hippos, buffalo, and antelope.
Finally, we have the Black Mamba snake, which is endemic to Eastern and Southern Africa. For the people of Africa, the Black Mamba is the scariest snake that causes terror. It is the most venomous snake in the world, with its venom being 40 times higher than that of the carbon viper. These snakes can grow up to 4 meters long, surviving for 11 years. The Black Mamba’s venom acts as a neurotoxin, needle poison, and other potent poisons. It is considered the world’s fastest land snake, able to move up to 19 km per hour, and is quite aggressive, actively attacking if it feels threatened. They can live in high areas from 1000 to 1800
