While large wild animals such as lions and tigers are clearly dangerous, some small animals and reptiles can also hold their own.
They have adapted to the dangers of the world around them, so now they can seriously harm or even kill their enemies.
Let's find out more about them.
Poison dart frogs
These colorful amphibians, known for their vibrant patterns, are native to Central and South America.
While they may appear beautiful and harmless, many species of poison dart frogs are highly toxic.
Their bright colors serve as a warning to potential predators that they carry potent toxins, which can cause paralysis or even death.
Box jellyfish
With their translucent bodies and delicate tentacles, box jellyfish may seem harmless, but they are among the most venomous creatures in the ocean.
Found primarily in the Indo-Pacific region, their tentacles contain powerful toxins that can cause severe pain, paralysis, and, in some cases, cardiac arrest, leading to fatalities.
Cone snails
These marine snails, often adorned with intricately patterned shells, may look harmless as they slowly glide along the ocean floor.
Cone snails are equipped with venomous harpoons called radulas, which they use to immobilize and capture prey.
Slow lorises
With their big, round eyes and gentle appearance, slow lorises may appear cute and harmless.
These small primates have specialized glands in their elbows that produce a venomous secretion.
When threatened, they can lick their brachial glands and deliver a toxic bite, causing intense pain and potentially severe allergic reactions in humans.
