  • Toxic venom.

  • Small amounts cause hemorrhaging, even death.

  • Even in humans, one thing is clear.

  • You'd rather not be bitten by one for this list.

  • We're looking at animals that inject the deadliest toxins into their victims were taking into account their danger to humans and their venoms.

  • Median lethal dose or LD 50 for short.

  • The lower that number, the deadlier the venom.

  • Which one of these critters scares you the most?

  • Let us know.

  • In the comments below Number 10, the Brazilian wandering spider wander wherever you want, buddy, just don't come where we live.

  • When they dio, they usually don't inject enough venom to kill.

  • This potent weapon makes the wandering spider ah, hunter of incredible power, able to kill insects, lizards and mice animals as large as the spider itself.

  • That's surprisingly merciful for a creature whose venom has an LD 50 of 500.134 mg per kilogram, meaning that 50% of test subjects are killed from just 500.134 mg of venom per kilogram of body mass.

  • That's many, many times more toxic than cyanide, and we're just getting started.
