10 Deadly Creatures under the Sea

9 Cone Snail

Snails have over 600 species and all are venomous. Unlike Anemones, they use their needle-like tooth to inject venom into prey’s body. The result of their sting is paralysis as the venom consists of peptides. The small snails are not much of a threat to humans but large snails injects enough venom to kill a human being. The pain of their sting is no worse than the sting of a regular bee but the venom is “breathtaking”. So far, these slow moving predators have managed to take around 20 human lives.
