Tiny animals in the sea are the most lethal, apart of this cute octopus also
It can kill in minutes from the shock caused by the pain (Irucandji syndrom, no antivenom)
A bather was pricked in the neck by this cone when he found it on the beach and held it to his ear to listen to the noise of the sea. He died in seconds.´
The Box Jellyfish also can kill in minutes by cardiac arrest, worse, these jellyfish can see and actively attack
this is almost entirely made up. or please show me some sources
Wild how confidently incorrect you are. I've known of all these creatures most of my life and kind of thought the above comment was unnecessary because I figured everyone knew about them already. Then I read your brilliant take.
Easy to find, eg

etc. there you'll finde some more of this cute little animals. For more, you probably have one or more search engines in your browser (see instructions)
