Portuguese Man O’ War While this is often considered a jellyfish, the Portuguese man-of-war is actually not an “it” but a “they”! It is made up of a colony of organisms called polyps that work together known as a siphonophore. It’s tentacles can extend out to 165 feet (50 m) and they are very venomous so you better not get anywhere near it! 9. Stonefish There are five species of stonefish, which are found throughout coastal regions of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including northern Australia. This slow-swimming fish grows between 11.8 and 15.7 inches (30-40cm) long and may not seem very dangerous. But the stonefish is the world’s most venomous fish and is equipped with 13 venom-filled spines. 8. Sea Snakes There are numerous species of sea snakes, and they vary in how aggressive and venomous they are. These marine snakes live in the ocean for most of their lives and are more aggressive while they are on land. They have a paddle-like tail and need to come up to the surface to breathe air. While the species can be extremely venomous it is hard to say which one would be the most dangerous. 7. Box Jellyfish There are over 50 species of box jellyfish, which vary in their levels of toxicity. The sea wasp, is the deadliest of them all. This highly venomous creature dwells in the coastal waters of northern Australia, New Guinea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. 6. LIONFISH The carnivorous lionfish is native to the Indian and South Pacific Oceans but can thrive in any warm or tropical ocean waters. It has an invasive presence in the Atlantic, especially in the Caribbean and off the southeastern US coast, since people with aquariums got tired of them and decided to dump their former pet in the ocean. 5. Great White Shark While great white sharks are very feared, do they really live up to their fearsome reputation? Last year in 2019, there were 41 cases of unprovoked shark attacks in the United States, which has gone up from the 32 cases reported in the US in 2018. However, while unprovoked attacks increased in the US, they seem to have dropped worldwide. 4. Cone Snail There are 500 known cone snail species, and the geographic cone snail is the most venomous of all. It is native to the reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. The geographic cone snail has extraordinarily potent venom, which is made of hundreds of toxins and capable of causing instant paralysis. Just one cone snail’s venom is estimated to be able to kill 700 humans. 3. Stingray There are many species of stingrays, which are found in equally numerous places. They’re present in most tropical to temperate ocean waters off the coasts of Australia, Africa, California, Hawaii, and more. Anyone who remembers the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin probably recalls that he met his untimely end when a stingray attacked him off the Queensland, Australia coast. 2. Flower Sea Urchin There are countless species of sea urchins; therefore, coming into contact with one comes with varying degrees of risks. Don’t let their pretty exterior fool you, the flowers are just little jaws waiting to inject venom. This ferocious "flower" was named the most dangerous sea urchin in the 2014 Guinness Book of World Records. 1. Blue-Ringed Octopus The blue-ringed octopus includes four small species of octopus that reside in tide pools and coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, from Japan to Australia. They are very pretty but don’t be fooled! Those flashing blue rings are a warning to you! #ocean #creatures #originsexplained #katrina
