      1. Box Jellyfish

      I have found a link to the top ten for this year

      The Brazilian Wandering Spider was listed as the most poisonous spider and he looks pretty scary!

      It’s important to remember that poisonous and venomous are different things – venomous animals are animals that can deliver their toxins through stingers or bites whereas poisonous animals do not have a delivery method and rely on transference of the toxin.

      So While the box Jelly is the most ‘venomous’ animal currently, techically the most poisonous is the Golden posion dart frog, whose toxin is actually more deadly!

      This guy!
