The most poisonous fish (8 photos)
Do not think that poisonous creatures found only on land, a lot of them, and in the waters of the oceans and seas.
For example, near the Pacific coast of Australia is found SCORPIO (or sea scorpion). Chameleon-like, then it is green, the brown, depending on the colors of the environment. Therefore, to see it is not so easy. Besides live scorpion fish on the shore, at a shallow depth. During low tide, it buries itself in the mud or gravel before the tide. The back is strong and the fish is covered with sharp spines, near the base of which there are bags under the skin with a very strong poison. Enough to step on fish as spikes dig into the leg, and the poison into the wound getting their grooves, causing a sharp pain that people sometimes lose consciousness. Foot swells, and if the victim did not immediately provide medical care, he could die. The local population catches scorpionfish and removing poisonous glands, eats.
very dangerous meeting in the tropical waters of the giant jellyfish, called SEA or transparent wasp killer. Only in the last 25 years of its poison killed far more people than by sharks. Its transparent "bell" 95% of water. In addition, sea wasp is typically kept in shaded areas of the coastal strip, because it is difficult to see even a man with good eyesight. One light touch poisonous tentacles of this creature is enough to three minutes later death occurred. In place of touch to it arises burn human skin quickly reddens and then swells. Body temperature increases. Against the sea wasp venom medicine is powerless. It is known that an animal in the laboratory was introduced into the body small, weakened 10,000 times the dose of the poison, immediately killed.
Fortunately, the sea wasp does not float on our shores - not like cool water, but, nevertheless, in the waters of the Russian Far East meets several of her much less toxic relatives. This, in particular, jellyfish TSIANEYA having "umbrella" with a diameter of 2 m and tentacles up to 30 m. Qian jellyfish stings like a wasp bite sea. Living in these places and poisonous jellyfish, with a diameter of Araneus "umbrella" from 5 to 20 cm. Burn it shall not fatal, but the man then gets sick for almost a week.
In the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, off the coast of Australia, discovered a small GOLUBOKOLCHATY OCTOPUS weighing up to '70 allocated to them poison stronger poison rattlesnake 300 times, and cobra 20 times. The poison of this predator may die 10 people for two seconds! This is probably the most dangerous known venomous sea creatures.
In Australian waters found 51 species of sea snakes, and they are very poisonous. The most poisonous in the world according to the "Guinness Book of Records" is considered GIDROFIS BSEHERIS, living in the Timor Sea off the northwest coast of the mainland. He lives here and is a very dangerous fish Synanceia or stone fish. In general, the "lucky" Australians: the ten most poisonous creatures inhabit seven is here.
And in the Far Eastern seas has four fish constantly sticking out, like a chisel teeth. Primorye Fishermen call her puffer ... In Japan, this fish is called fugu, its meat is considered a delicacy. However, in some species it contains poison stronger than cyanide. So often fans of such a dangerous delicacy pay life. "If you want to eat fugu, write first testament" - say in Japan.
To prevent accidents in the country there is a law prohibiting the free sale of this dangerous fish. Cook the same dishes from it are allowed only to those chefs who have a special diploma courses. During the exam, each student in the presence of the Commission and observers should eat a few meals that he prepared from this fish. Yet in Japan each year many deaths fugu poisoning.
However, poisonous creatures of the seas and bring benefit. For example, Japanese scientists from fugu poison made the drug, called tetrodotoxin and is used as an effective pain reliever during heavy operations, especially during tumor removal.
In the Red Sea there is a small flat fish with a rather strange name - the feet of Moses. She was not afraid of any predator, because even once in his mouth, it can release a poison and paralyze the enemy. The poison of this fish is completely harmless to humans. Scientists are studying its chemical composition to create a similar protection for people from the bloodthirsty inhabitants of the oceans.
