Stingrays

If you recall, the late great Crocodile Hunter was killed by a stingray while filming off the coast of Queensland, Australia. While Irwin lay motionless, the ray struck him in the heart multiple times with its tail, and he was knocked unconscious. Surfers and swimmers who accidentally step on a stingray can suffer a painful sting from the barbs on the tail of the animal. However, is it lethal? Usually not.

Beaked Sea Snake

In the same way, octopuses are poisonous, every sea snake is venomous as well. However, they differ in terms of both deadliness and aggressiveness. The Dubois’ sea snake, for example, is the most venomous snake in the world, but it is docile in the wild. Although it has less venom than the hook-nosed sea snake (which accounts for 90% of all sea snake bites), the beaked sea snake is a greater danger.
