What is the most poisionous creature on Earth?

Question

I thought it was the Australian Sea Wasp. Commonly known as the box jellyfish, but I am unsure.

Answer 1

The poison from the skin of the world's most poisonous known creature-the tiny, 1.5-inch, Golden Poison Frog (Phyllobates terribilis)-kills the monkey.

An average P. terribilis contains about one milligram of poison, which is enough to kill 10,000 mice-perhaps enough to kill 10 to 20 humans if the poison reaches their bloodstreams.

This extraordinarily lethal poison (a steroid alkaloid, called batrachotoxin) almost does not occur in nature. We have found this poison only among three poison frogs in Colombia and two poison birds in Papua, New Guinea.

The yellow frog stores the poison in skin glands, as do most frogs. Due to their poison, frogs taste awful to predators but P. terribilis' poison kills whatever eats it-except for a snake (Liophis epinephelus). This snake is resistant to the frog's poison but not immune.

"We fed one juvenile frog to a snake and the snake showed great distress and was rendered helpless for several hours," says John Daly, chief of the National Health Institute's bioorganic chemistry laboratory.

The poison frogs are perhaps the only creatures immune to this poison. The poison attacks the sodium channels of the cells. Through the ages, the clever frog has evolved special sodium channels that the poison can not harm.

Answer 2

The skin of the world's most poisonous known creature-the tiny, 1.5-inch, Golden Poison Frog
The only thing that can eat the golden poison frog is a snake called Leimadopis, which is immune to the frog’s poison. The golden poison frog is the deadliest dart frog. It is classified in the group Dendrobatidae. The Golden Poison frog has glands that release toxin.
o The Golden Poison Frog is the most toxic frog in the world.
o The Golden Poison Frog’s poison is called Batrachotoxin.

o Batrachotoxin is a steroidal alkaloid, which is secreted from the skin glands and is very deadly to other animals.

o It has a bright metallic gold yellow coloration, which warns predators that it is poisonous.
