Man-caused the most pollution and toxins to be released into the earths ecosystem, created nuclear power, dioxin, and a wide variety of biological poisons, and finally caused the extinction of more others species than any other dweller on the planet or any natural disaster the world has ever seen...orif you don't like that then there is always:
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.

geographic cone snail venom (& some of its cousins), or the Australian box jelly venom are far more poisonous than the olive green sea snake.
d.
The black mamba is found in Africa, and not in Australia. the inland taipan (fear snake), although both are very poisonous, they are dwarfed by a number of sea snakes. (the olive green, and the stripped are the most poisonous snakes).
There are at 30 different animals that accumulate tetrodotoxin. (it is made by a bacterium discovered about 4 years ago.) Some of those accumulating animals are the poison dart frogs, blue ringed octopus, some newts and two birds recently found in New Guinea. The Australian funnel web spider is very toxic, it is found in the Sydney Ausralia area. But a worse variety is found in the woods around Sydney. The black widow spider's venom is 15 times as powerful as cobra venom. The king cobra's venom is not the most powerful, but the snake is huge, (9 ft. +), and injects a huge dose.
Some of the tropical cones have the most potent venom on earth. The box jellyfish, (also Australian), is very venomous and acts extremely quickly. People have died just after exiting the water. (5 ft. from the water's edge.)

The most poisonous animal would be the Yellow-Back Frog (also known as the Poison Arrow), Found near the Amazons. It generates enough venom everyday to kill 12,800 healthy humans. The catch is that it does not have fangs or teeth to let the venom out. But, yes no animal dares to eat it. Even all snakes are scared of it.
If you're asking about the most poisonous snake, thats Black Mamba, found only in Australia. Its bite could kill a person in half n hour. It generates venom to kill nearly 1,800 humans a day.
The next most poisonous snake would be the Yellow Hooded Cobra found only in India. Its bite could kill a human in 2 & 1/2 hours. The cobras make enough venom to kill nearly 1,100 to 1,200 humans a day.

the in easy words poisonous animals i comprehend of contain (a million) the "arrow-poison" frogs. The act of ingesting them could lead on to the launch of venom from the glands on the decrease back and hence poison the buyer. (2) Puffer Fish as used for the renowned eastern Fugu dish. The venomous aspects contain a deadly poison (tetrodotoxin) which, if no longer get rid of earlier to being eaten, will right away reason lack of life. for sure there are assorted venomous creatures which include the Black Widow spiders yet I they could be eaten without probability in the adventure that they were squashed first; the same is going for venomous centipedes, snakes and so on.

Australian Coral Snake. Actually, I don't really know. Someone above said that black mambas are only in Australia. I am 900% sure that black mambas are in Africa, not Australia. If there are any black mambas in Australia at all, they are in a zoo or a research facility.
