The next time you want to go thrill seeking and play with death, try confronting these animals. But if you love your life and value your safety, it is best to stay away from these extremely dangerous creatures.

Blue Ringed Octopus

Don't be fooled by the beauty of this octopus. At first glance, this animal seems like a perfect living room decoration. Unfortunately, it is considered as one of the most venomous creatures on planet Earth. Probably as dangerous or even more fatal than any snake out there! It is usually found in tide pools in Australia, Japan and other countries in the Pacific region. The blue ringed octopus uses the traditional camouflage technique, the typical "you think I'm not here, but I am" approach to biting. The good thing is that the blue ringed octopus doesn't bite until it is provoked. The bad news is, there's no known antidote to its venom.

The Black Mamba

Let me clear out the 'controversy' once and for all. The Black Mamba is not a frog, it is a snake! (I've actually seen and heard people wrongfully refer to the Black Mamba as a poisonous frog). Anyway, any kindergarten student knows that snakes are poisonous, but the Black Mamba is much more fatal than any other snake. It is considered one of the world's most dangerous and fatal snake, and is found in rare places in Africa. It is also considered the second largest venomous snake in the world, with an average length of 8.2 feet. If you've ever watched the movie Kill Bill, actress Daryll Hannah used the Black Mamba snake to kill and double cross a negotiation partner. A word of advice: Don't mess with this snake. Or better yet, never mess with any snake at all!

The Saltwater Crocodile

This animal is considered the largest of all living reptiles. A typical saltwater crocodile can grow to as much as 23 feet and may weigh up to 3,000 pounds. It is known to attack and eat any living thing within its range and territory, especially humans! According to reliable scientific measurement, the "bite force" of the saltwater crocodile is so strong that it could break any bone in the skeletal system in just one or two bites. The average bite pressure of an adult saltwater crocodile is approximately 5,000 pounds! And mind you, this crocodile can outrun any horse in short distances. Who says crocodiles can't run fast?
