Deathstalker:
This highly venomous scorpion residing
primarily in North Africa and the Middle
East is responsible for over 75% of
scorpion related deaths every year.
Although healthy adults usually only
feel unbearable pain, children that are
envenomated suffer fever, coma,
convulsions, and paralysis before their
lungs fill up and they drown in their
own fluids.

Cone snail :
One drop of venom from this little
bugger is enough to end 20 human
lives. Sometimes colloquially known as
the “cigarette snail,” it has been said
that when you are stung by this
creature, you’ll have just about enough
time to smoke a cigaret before you
stop breathing. It’s not like it matters
anyway though…there is no antivenom.
