Perhaps the most common fear that all humans share is the fear of venomous animals. In fact, the fear of spiders and snakes are the two most commonplace phobias. Usually this fear is misplaced as the vast majority of snakes and spiders are completely harmless, however, I’m afraid that this video won’t help abate any fears you currently hold. Some of you may end up avoiding certain parts of the world because of some of the animals mentioned. The animals on this list are ordered by increasing subcutaneous LD50 (Lethal Dose 50%), so the further up the list we go, the smaller the amount of venom it would take to potentially end your life.

Australia, why are you such a scary place? It's almost as if an ancient civilization created it to house a great secret guarded by the world's deadliest creatures.

THANK YOU ALL for 11k subs, we were just crossing the 3k mark when we released our last video!

    Just wanted to make sure that we let everyone know that I (J Fish) made a mistake at 1:24 in the video. If you can’t read the annotation, I stated that a dollar bill weighs one milligram, but should have said one gram. A milligram is 1/1000th of a gram and the dollar bill was supposed to be used as a way of visualizing just how small the amounts we’re talking are. Thanks to Andrew Case for pointing the mistake out. In addition, many commenters have pointed out that our video lacks the box jellyfish. We should have stated directly that box jellyfish are a class themselves and the sea wasp is a species of box jellyfish which ranks as the most venomous of the various species of box jellyfish. Some have commented that the Belcher sea snake is the most venomous snake on earth, but this was incorrectly stated in a book that lumped different types of LD50 values together. Specifically, the belcher sea snake had its intravenous LD50 instead of its subcutaneous LD50. As for other sea snakes – If we had used all the species of incredibly venomous sea snakes available, they would have taken up the majority of the list. In fact, the first 11 on the list would have all been a different species of sea snake, so we settled with the deadliest one of them all. This goes for several of the animals in the list who have closely related species that possess very similar LD50 amounts. Additionally, we recommend you check out our video following this one covering the 15 Most Poisonous Animals on Earth here: goo.gl/YcyUPD It was a very difficult list to put together due to the complete lack of lists available that didn’t have multiple venomous animals in there “poisonous” animals list. Furthermore, essentially none of them go by LD50 went listing the animals, so we made sure to give our plentiful sources within the description. Oh, and we don't hate Australia. Twas a joke my dudes.
  • you forgot to put my ex girlfriend in this list Edit: voltando 5 anos depois para dar risada/ back 5 years afters just to laugh of comments 🤣
  • @TheBigChad

  • @jake2355
    How to survive most venomous bites/stings... Don’t go to Australia
  • @antonbacha2397
    Inland Taipen: I am one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Honey Badger: Your venom is my tequila.
  • You're open sea diving. You see a bull shark coming. You turn and see a sea snake. You turn to swim to the shark. It's swimming away.
  • @Piccle
    THANK YOU for stating out that venom is different than poison, I get sooo annoyed by ppl (and youtubers) who say things like snake are poisonous
  • @eyeconicmind
    Imagine if there was a venomous or poisonous shark 🤔
  • @VampiresCrypt

  • @heyitskaif4411
    Lol I’m Australian and love it when I read comments about people saying they would be scared if they lived here
  • @pokeninja6850
    Q: Why live in Australia? A: Because even thought we have the most dangerous animals on the planet, they're less likely to kill us than a psycopathic suicidal teenager with a AK-47
