• The Future of Ocean Exploration
If you had to guess, would you say more dangerous animals live on land or in the sea? If you ask me, I have no idea but considering that more than 80 percent of our oceans are still unexplored, there’s likely some deadly, creepy creatures lurking in the depths of the sea. And no, we're not talking about sharks. Do not worry, we’ve done the research for you: this video is going to face you eye to eye with 10 sea creatures whom you might want to admire from a distance. From the poisonous to the just outright vicious, here’s a look at ten of the most deadly creatures you may encounter in the sea!

Stone fish are members of the scorpion fish family. They tend to live in tropical waters and in worldwide aquariums. The stonefish has a camouflage beyond compare, it’s able to disguise itself as rocky seafloor making it hard to recognise. So why should you be scared? Well, this fish packs more deadly poison than any other fish in the sea! These fellows might not be more than 30-40 centimetres long, but they are a living proof of the fact that you don’t have to be great in order to be a threat. The stonefish protects itself with 13 venomous dorsal spines capable of killing tissue and putting the human body into shock. They’re not aggressive and don’t attack, using their poisonous stingers merely as defensive weapons. However, The sting from a stonefish is said to feel like being crucified…mixed with burning from a torch…oh yeah and topped off with a periodic whack from a sledgehammer. And that’s only if you survive – which, let’s be honest, you might be begging for the “Old Yeller Special” if those descriptions are real. So if you step on one, prepare for a world of pain.

King of the sea? Well, not as humongous as we’d expect considering it’s name, infact, this red, white and zebra striped fish is about as small as a “tea cup”. Experts speculate that the lionfish gets its name from its long, luscious dorsal spines that loosely resemble a male lion's mane. The beautiful lionfish is a favorite among underwater photographers. Lionfishes might look beautiful, but you shouldn’t let their attractive looks fool you. That is to say, like its namesake, the lionfish is a powerful predator, though instead of relying on fangs and ferocity, it depends on the venomous sting of its spines, which can cause pain, respiratory failure, and, in extreme cases, paralysis. If you’re diving in the Caribbean or Eastern Atlantic which is where lionfishes are found, I still recommend you admire these beautiful striped creatures from a distance!
8. Cone Snail

When thinking about the most dangerous sea creatures, snails are quite unlikely to come to mind. And that’s why number eight on our list might come to you as a surprise: cone snails are only 10-15cm long and look quite innocent, but a single drop of their venom is said to be enough to kill 20 men! Though shell collectors lust after the complex carapace of the textile cone snail, even the bravest and brashest wouldn't dare get too close to a live one. Makes sense, if you think about it. After all, for a poison to be effective for a snail, it has to be really fast acting, otherwise its prey would swim away, out of reach of the slow moving slug. What makes it even scarier is that no anti-venom exists for this animal’s poison! Cone snails can be met in the deep reef waters all the way from the Indian and Pacific oceans to the Caribbean and Red seas and also along the coast of
