What is the world's most poisonous creator?

Question

Now, I do not mean just snakes or spiders, but any creator - as long as it is THE WORLD'S most poisonous creator.

Ops... meant creature. Sorry. Writing too fast.

Answer 1

the snake (black mamba)

Answer 2

Some animals are poisonous (toxins) and some are venomous (venom)

A poisonous animal carries harmful chemicals called toxins. Usually, these toxins are used for defense, and are stored in the skin or in special glands. Compare these creatures to venomous animals, which deliver their toxins by stinging, stabbing, or biting.

Poisonous creatures don't intend to hurt other creatures, which is why they have bright colors and markings that send a clear message: "Don't touch!" If a predator ignores that warning, he might not get a second chance. One swallow, or even a little taste testing, and it's all over. The toxin will stop the heart or lungs from working, and death will follow.

The poison arrow frog and certain salamanders would have to top most people's list of "The World's Most Poisonous Animals." Just two micrograms of toxin from the poison arrow frog is enough to kill a human. A "microgram" is a very small amount. The ink in the period at the end of this sentence will weigh around six micrograms.

What about venomous animals? A good example of defense can be found in stonefish. They store their toxin in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators. This homely creature will win no beauty prize, but deserves honor and respect for being "The World's Most Venomous Fish."

Toxins also are designed to kill prey or, at least, slow them down. This is the tactic used by many snakes. The prize for "The World's Most Venomous Snake" goes to the inland taipan of Australia. But the top prize, "The World Most Venomous Animal," should go to the box jellyfish, which is found in the waters around Asia and Australia. They have long tentacles with stings at the very ends.

Hospitals often carry medicines that work against venom, but treatment has to be very fast to counteract the toxins of these prize-winning creatures.

Answer 3

1.5-inch, Golden Poison Frog (Phyllobates terribilis)
Colombia, South America. Midday, in the depths of a jungle west of the Andes along a Pacific river. It is dark, hot, and dismal. Dusk never leaves the day below the tree canopy. Rainwater pools in huge, still leaves. A heavy atmosphere clings to the earth like a coiling miasma.

"Thwoop," breaks the silence as a poison dart hurtles from a blowgun to its target: a howler monkey secure on a lower branch of a tree towering a hundred feet above the rain forest floor. The dart penetrates the monkey's reddish fur, into her flesh and bloodstream. She falls, paralyzed, unable to breathe, and her heart fails.

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.

Frogs normally have no occasion to eat their own poison but this frog is different. The frog apparently eats the same poison as his own but produced by some OTHER CREATURE. He eats the unknown creatures as we might eat shrimp or chicken: just standard food. Frogs grown in captivity, however, can't eat the same food and they are NOT poisonous. "All evidence indicates that such frogs obtain the poisons unchanged from some creature in their diet," says Daly.

"Thus, the high toxicity of P. terribilis appears due to consumption of an unknown mysterious small insect or other arthropod, which may truly be the most poisonous creature on Earth. It is a mystery that we hope to someday solve."

Answer 4

I think this topic is argued between the experts. I've heard its a black mamba. But I've also heard about this tiny octopus with blue spots that lives in shallow saltwater. Its venom is injected through small hair-type spines on its skin, its VERY poisonous venom, but it is too small to inject enough poison at once to kill us. I gaurantee that the most poisonous animal hasn't been found yet, and it'll be pretty tiny with extremely poisonous venom like the Alien from Alien vs Predator and all those Alien movies.

Answer 5

I would say that it is the pufferfish, creator of the tetrodoxin poison.

"Tetrodotoxin is an exceptionally lethal poison. Tetrodotoxin is approximately 1200 times deadlier than the neurotoxin cyanide. In animal studies with mice, 8 µg tetrodotoxin per kilogram of body weight killed 50% of the mice (see also LD50). It is estimated that a single pufferfish has enough poison to kill 30 adult humans"

Answer 6

Golden Poison Frog

"Thus, the high toxicity of P. terribilis appears due to consumption of an unknown mysterious small insect or other arthropod, which may truly be the most poisonous creature on Earth. It is a mystery that we hope to someday solve."

now, if your talking the most destructive, then you mean man.

Answer 7

Answer me This: God is the CREATOR who made snakes, spiders and the world's most poisonous Creature................

Answer 8

So many people dont know the differnce between poison and venom yet..........its rediculous..........
Look at the question I posted about venom vs. poison, and read some of the answers.............

I think the most POISONOUS creature on the planet is probably one of the many species of poison arrow frog, found in south america. Their poison is so toxic it is used by many native peoples as the killing tip on their blowgun darts.

Answer 9

IRUKANDJI (sounds like EAR-OO-KON-GY) Related to the box jellyfish.Its 2.5 cenimeters,its sting toxin is 300 times more deadly then the King Cobra.No known cure yet.If stung most all die.Known area is the Great Barrier Reef,Australia.One of the only jellies that also have stings in its hood.One of the largest number of stings per inch.

Answer 10

Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden

Answer 11

I believe pound for pound that the funnel web spiders venom is the most potent. I could be wrong but I seem to remember the discovery channel doing a special on venom.
