5 Venomous Underwater Creatures you must Avoid!
Sea animals have developed a plethora of defence mechanisms over time to fend off dangers. Some conceal themselves to fit in with their environment. Toxins are also used by many others to dissuade possible predators from troubling them.

1) Lionfish
Invasive in the Western Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean, lionfish are distinguished by their vivid stripes and spines. They have potent neurotoxins in their spines that, if injected, can produce excruciating pain.

2) Blue-ringed octopus
The venom of the blue-ringed octopus is 1,000 times more potent than cyanide. With its powerful venom, this golf-ball-sized monster can instantly kill twenty-six people within minutes. It is considered to be among the ocean's most hazardous species.

3) Australian box jellyfish
For humans, the sting of an Australian box jellyfish can result in cardiac arrest, paralysis, or even death within minutes, making it the most dangerous animal in the sea.

4) Sea Snakes
Compared to many venomous snakes found on land, sea snakes are more poisonous. Luckily, they rarely bite unless provoked, and their tiny teeth make it difficult for them to bite through thick fabrics.

5) Stonefish
The most poisonous fish in the sea is the stonefish. Thirteen spines on the back of stonefish deliver venom when pressed. Severe agony, edema, necrosis, and even death can cause by stings.
