- Some of the world’s deadliest animals have venom that's thousands of times more toxic than cyanide and can kill a human in minutes. Brown snakes, funnel web spiders, and blue-ringed octopuses are among the animals that you do not want to mess with. We spoke with Steve Trim at Venomtech (www.venomtech.co.uk) who helped us rank some of the deadliest bites to humans on Earth.

Following is a transcript of the video:
You’ve been bitten! And uh oh, it’s venomous! How long have you got?
Well, that depends on a few factors including the potency, dose delivered and speed of distribution. Turns out, not all Venoms act the same way. Here are the animals with the fastest-acting venom on Earth.
First up: spiders.
There are around 40,000 species of spider and most are venomous. But, thankfully, only a handful pose a threat to humans. Including the male Sydney funnel-web spider.
Its venom is 60 times as potent as cyanide and can kill a human in 1-2 hours. The venom attacks the nervous system kicking it into overdrive until - ultimately - it shuts down!
Of course, spiders aren’t the only venomous animals in Australia. It’s home to 20 of the world’s 25 deadliest snakes. Including the Eastern brown snake, which is responsible for the most snakebite deaths in the country.
Its venom is 8,000 times stronger than cyanide and can kill a human in about one hour. Its venom also attacks the central nervous system but this time it slows everything down.
And to top it off, the venom has a coagulant that causes the blood in your veins and arteries to clot. Between the two, it’s not a good way to go.
Now, at this point, you might consider switching your Australian safari to a scuba dive just to be on the safe side. But, turns out venomous animals live in Australian waters too.
Like the blue-ringed octopus.
Its venom is 1,000 times more toxic than cyanide and it’ll bring down a human in just 20-40 minutes. Bacteria in its saliva make an extremely potent neurotoxin which paralyzes your muscles. And once that paralysis hits your diaphragm and rib muscles, you only have a few minutes before you suffocate to death.
No, the fastest-acting venom on Earth belongs to the Australian Box Jellyfish or sea wasp.
It’s not the most potent venom out there. But encounter one of these guys and you’ll be dead in 15 minutes.
That’s all because of these things They’re COVERED with tiny, venom-loaded darts, called nematocysts.
Which shoot heart-stopping toxins into the body wherever they make contact.
All of this sounds pretty scary, but remember you’re less likely to die by venomous snails than by car crashes, an infection, or disease.
And it’s not like these animals are after you anyways. They’d just as well prefer that you stick to your own habitat.
But still be smart, be respectful, be safe. - Věda a technologie

**Drinks cyanide pill**
**Dies 3 seconds**
**Got bitten by a snake 8000x more poisonous than cyanide**
**Dies 1 hour**
noob pwner hmmmm... you guys are lucky got you got phones in heaven
Cody Erlanger
Its a joke, ITS A DAMN JOKE
drink the pill?
or swallow the pill smh...
Just because it's more potent doesn't mean it will kill quicker
The poison has to go all the way up to the brain from a vein, unlike the pill that attacks already One of the most important organs of the body, which compromission would cause death, either by poisoning, of the escape of the acid
The scariest one i have encountered is my mom with a belt.
😆😆
Anime Watcher lol scariest thing for me?
A huge amount of homework in front of me
With my mum
With a ruler
Next to it.
Oh gaw
A Random Blue Corgi same
its venom is 10 000 times stronger than a cyanide and can left a scar entire life
XD
Lesson : *Never go to Australia*
Well we do fine living here :)
SupProBro I’m in Australia rn, I’ve never been bitten by a spider or a snake or any deadly animal..
I’m a spiderman
mmmm i live in Australia and i haven't died yet.
don't judge a country, we're not the only one with spiders and snakes.
@@genya857 oh I'm sorry
Just use a ground type to negate the poison
Steel would be better
No, a ground type would just resist it, and a steel type would just do normal damage, we need a steelix, excadrill or alolan dugtrio.

Sure, just ask Steve Irwin
Okay I will never go to Australia
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin Vlogs You could easily avoid them. There is barely any.
DATS SICC BRUVV I went on my uncle land I saw a snake about 5 feet from me and I was like nah fam cião
Help me I’m already in Australia
I went a few months ago for like ten days and survived. Glad I didn’t encounter anything deadly.
Urban here is fine
The scariest animal encounter I had wasn't an animal. It was a plant called the Gympie Stinger. And yes, it's found in Australia.
Yes that plant is from hell
I live in Sydney Australia and I haven’t really seen any funnel webs
The scariest animal encounter was me seeing a rabid animal , that almost bit me . The animal died 6 days later and it was confirmed it had rabies . That was in my village and annually , only about 7-20 animals are diagnosed in our country.
I nearly got trampled by a sheep once. That was fun.
Tamariin I got trampled by 6 children around the age of 5 , u think that was fun?
I saw a pack of wolfs at 5 that was fun good they didn't saw or care for me
If you think that baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad my foot was stomped on by a Baby cow it mucking hurt
I too almost got trampled by a Priangan sheep in the butt, just look at those horn
@@newzealandballnewzealand-h7553 aww, it's hurt to even imagine it
Welp...
What does this video teach us?
That Australia had ALOT of venomous creatures.
I feel bad... 😕
It teaches us to never go to Australia
well, i love in Australia, IM GONNA DIE
An episode of the British kids show Peppa Pig was banned in Australia because it contained misleading information about spiders. In the episode Mr. Skinny-Legs, Peppa and her little brother George encounter a spider and are initially scared of it until Papa Pig tells them that most spiders are harmless. While this is true in North America (with the exception of the black widow and the brown recluse, which are both deadly spiders) there are way more deadly spiders living in Australia. To keep kids safe, the episode had to be banned!
Welp, now I know not to visit Australia in the future.
You're everywhere espacillay facts videos and Latino stuff
Kangaroo should be the top venomous animal in Australia
TeNgGiLinG what? How?
TeNgGiLinG how dare you the ones in my backyard are completely fine! Btw I live in Australia
You guys know that im joking right?
Kangaroo...venomous...hm seems right to me :/
@@ericolens3 there is some venomous mammals
Thanks Australia
606 Defender of Justice You're bloody welcome 🤣
Oh boy, I didn’t realise how deadly the eastern brown was. True story, I was almost bitten by one of those evil buggers. It was just chilling while I went to get the mail, it reared up ready to bite and I ran screaming (like an idiot)
The scariest thing that I had encounter was wasps, bees, ants, cockroaches, and pretty much house pests. And I forgot fleas that I got bitten twice the entire body( I feel miserable(its super effective )
Can't wait to get the chance to go to Australia :D
Now it feels like suicide mission 😂
It's super effective!
Thank you Science Insider, very cool!
I've had not the scariest but the most dangerous one. I caught a brown recluse spider thinking it was a wolf spider. I raised it for 2 days but then released back in the wild.

@@thedeltagamer9215 shut up itz not that bad
@@mynameis_anh5425 move to somewhere far from Australian safari like areas, thank me later
Thank you...such a nice way to tell us dangerous animals in a polite voice(no sarcasm)
great information and beautiful animation
Your Thumbnail is "Deadlist" rather than deadliest. At least the Title was fine..
Once I was walking through the forest, then I saw a leopard running before me.
I started playing *Logan Paul* music and then...
What happened I want to know how it ends
Very well produced episode
Actually being bitten by a blue ringed octipus is rare because they are shy and take a lot for them to get angry.
Anybody Australia would be safe place for me??😟😟😟
Ansari Al i live in australia, only been stung by a bluebottle and I was fine
Nah, mate from straya and 2 of me mates died from snakes and my girlfriend died from a spider bite and brother was swimming and got stung by both blue ring Octopus and box jellyfish so don't come to Australia cuz 1001 things will kill u trust me I was born and raised there
Im aussie too, and drop bears... whew those things are even more dangerous than any of the things in this vid. No saving you if youre ever attacked by one
Are u guys trying to offend Australia ?
**GIVE EVERYONE 99 MASTER BALLS**
ME:CATCH THAT POKEMON!
I used to live way out in the country/forest. It was a long dirt road just to get to my house. One time i was walking down the dirt road on my way to catch the school bus, and out of nowhere a bush right beside me started moving, I freaked out and looked over only to realise there was a 6ft tall moose with his head peeking out, 2 feet from me hahaha
I wonder how fast the venom of snake humans takes to kill a person
Science Insider: *'Talks about poisonous animals'*
Australia: Allow us to introduce ourselves
I’m Australian. We had an Eastern Brown Snake in the laundry about two years ago. I think the snake was as frightened as we were. It took off at lightning speed.
We’ve moved from that area since though. Now I’m the outback we have only the inland taipan to worry about! Lol
Deadlist bite.........
There's a snake in my front yard and backyard. We looked it up it was a garden snake they don't bite. But..we killed it and ran over its head..I live in the USA near D.C I don't want anyone tracking me down.
Poor snake i saw a bloody cobra

and to no one's dismay, it's abundant in Australian beaches
I'm glad I'm from Brazil !
OMG.... It's really a very different world out there in Australia
*THUMBNAIL TYPOOOO*
LIKE TO CORRECT
The comparison to cyanide makes zero sense. How can something allegedly 8,000× more deadly than cyanide take longer to kill than something only less than 2,000× more deadly than cyanide and comparable to something only 60× more deadly than cyanide?. We went from 1-2 hours (60×) to 1 hour (8,000×) to 15 minutes (less than 2,000×).
Sans Handlebars guess you missed the part in which it said how much time you got to live depends on the following 0:13 .... hence why a jellyfish that injects venom into you with multiple tentacles whenever it touches you can kill you faster than a snake with 2 fangs
Junior M Which then cometely makes any such comparison to cyanide completely moot and arbitrary.
Sans Handlebars well considering the composition of venom can vary greatly between these animals i think the comparison is there just as a reference opposed to getting into exact details on what makes it deadly to simplify things for the average viewer Also you have to keep in mind that the title of this video is the “The deadliest venomous animals in the world” and what makes them deadly depends on BOTH the potency and a good delivery system In this case the snake has the more potent venom however due to the jellyfish having no other way to defend itself or even bluff themselves out of situations nor do they have the speed to escape predators they developed a good potent venom along with a delivery system that’s quick to kill off threats before any harm can be caused
Junior M Why not just use the timeframe for death as a comparison instead of an arbitrary and useless comparison to cyanide? You're arguing something ridiculous. If each venom is drastically different in composition to one another and cyanide, then the most logical metric would be to use how fast or slowly it kills as a measure for deadliness. If something is 8,000× more deadly than cyanide, but takes 4× as long to kill a person than something 4× less deadly than cyanide, then why bother bringing up cyanide as it becomes clear just how ineffectual the comparison is? Oh, and another fun fact: the lethal dose of cyanide (350mg) takes between 1-4 *minutes* to kill a full grown adult, making the comparison even that much more foolish.
Junior M So if 350mg of cyanide is lethal, and it only takes 1-4 minutes to kill, and a particular snake venom is allegedly 8,000× more deadly than cyanide, then logic dictates that a comparable lethal dose of this venom would be 1/8000 of 350mg or 0.04375mg. The snake will definitely produce much more than this 0.04375mg in a single bite. It's timeframe to complete death should be comparible to pure cyanide of only 1-4 minutes no matter how high the dose gets above 0.04375mg which is the bare minimum dose to kill a full grown adult. To further prove just how ridiculous of a metric the cyanide comparison is, the video does in fact order the deadliest according to the time it takes to kill, not its potency compared to cyanide. It doesn't even care to mention which component within each different venom is being compared to cyanide. It doesn't evsn care to mention how they are measuring deadliness aside from a basepoint with cyanide which seems to factor little, and a timeframe to death which seems to be the true baseline of the comparisons being drawn, and if it is this timeframe then why bother mentioning cyanide at all because apparently it doesn't matter. The spider and snake bites are comparable, but the jellyfish kills quicker by a factor of 4 despite being less deadly than the snake. It doesn't make a lick of sense and you know it.
Lol I live in Australia and I’ve never been bitten by a spider or seen a wild snake. I don’t get why everybody hates on Australia, once you live here you’d love it here
*My scariest encounter was being chased by a street dog but I don't feel so good now.*
Omg im so early #NotificationSquad
Yeah I live in Australia we have Red Belly black snakes in most parking lots. You get used to them after a while
@1:04 Nostalgia trip : who's that pokemon?
In Australia it’s kinda unlikely you will run into funnel webs, brown snakes, box jellyfish and blue ringed octopus so don’t worry and plus Australia is a 1st world country and have great healthcare
i like how ur vides are nice and short
**gets bitten to death by snake** You died! *Click to respawn.*
I love this!! AUSTRALIAN MEMORIES!! Okay I live in AUSTRALIA. So makes sense I love those animals
Every Australian must have at least 2 guardian angels I guess hehe
That is such cute spider. So chubby!
A massive spider crawled out my air vent
Scariest animal encounter ive ever had? Probably meeting my step brother....*starts having flashbacks*
This lady: Bittden
Normal human beings: ah crap I just got bit
911: where are you
This lady: I GOT BITTDEN
NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS BE LIKE:
stonks
I live in Australia and my dude I have never seen any of these
One of the scariest animal moments I’ve ever experienced is when I was fishing and a rattle snake latched onto one of my fish I caught. We had to DECAPITATE the snake

That was most perfect illustration of paralysis! 😃
My friend's little sis picked up a shell but saw a blue ring and unlike most 3 yr olds she was actually scared of it so she chucked it and screamed
"You've been bitten and... Oh ow, it's venomous..."
Well, well that happens have a nice day :D
Even though the blue ring octopus is small it's still very deadly and also a very large jelly fish is the lions mane jellyfish
Box jellyfish: I'm the deadlyist sea creature in Australia sea
great white shark: am I a joke to you
Hey if the blood clops if one of the snake bites you at least you found another way to make slime !
Cool video
Even cartoon spiders are nasty to look at
**lives in Australia**
Me:welp
**packs bags**
Me:to italy we go
Once I stepped on a Jump jack nest and got bitten and stung, and I've encounter a red-bellied black snake, (They're not as bad they're shy, eat other poisinouse snakes and they're venom isn't too potent).
How did I know this would be mainly Australia. I live in Australia and these animals are way less scary than your neighbourhood magpie. Spring time is NEVER safe in Australia if you live near a magpie. Just trust me.
i saw the Taipan snake during my Stay in Australia
As an aussie i am proud coz ive never been injured by an animal
But then again dangerous animals barely come in contact with city or suburban areas
I bit my a spider before.. Thank God it wasn't venomous 😄😅
The most potent snake venom is from an Australian snake called the "Inland Taipan". There are three basic types of Taipan in Australia, the coastal, the mainland, and the "inland". Costal and mainland each use a neuro-toxin, but not the same one. The Inland-Taipan uses *both* of those neuro-toxins.
That said, the snake has a relatively small and remote natural habitat, and is also more likely to try to avoid humans if at all possible.
Me: Do You Take A Shower With A Pikachu
Other person: No
Me: You shouldn’t because he will pik a chu (pronounced peek at you)
Now I am scared of traveling to Australia. I don't want to accidentally step on a snake hidden in the grass or get stung by a nearly invisible box jellyfish.
Taipan: *bites frog*
Frog: *ded in one second*
Me: seriously?
Taipan: am I a joke to you?
I've had an encounter with a belcher's sea snake and a burmese python
When they showed the octopus shape, I was like “Is it the blue-ringed octopus???” And when it was, I shouted “YES!” So loud I scared my cat. (I did a report on blue-ringed octopuses in second grade so I know they’re the deadliest octopus species.)
Vipers,coral snake,mambas, Indochinese spitting cobra, black widow, poison dart frog, puffer fish, stonefish, and the death stalker scorpion
That intro!!!😂
The scariest I had is that when I’ve met a orange centipede when I was going to the waterpark because it was summer and it was so hot and then the water park was open just for one day so we hurried and we saw an orange centipede turns out that. The orange centipede was immortal and deadly when I saw a video about it
I tought it was a rubber chicken in the thumbnail
My uncle runs a business where he drains venom and poison from spiders, scorpions, snakes, jellyfishes and other species and varieties of terrestrial and aquatic beings. He owns that farm in South Dakota and makes a lot of money out of farming them.
That's cool and useful, thanks for sharing!
