Dangerous inhabitants of the sea. Dangerous inhabitants of the Mediterranean Sea

The original is taken by W. billfish561 In beautiful, but dangerous inhabitants of the seas and oceans.

In naval and ocean waters, there are quite a lot of creatures, the meeting with which can deliver a man of trouble in the form of injury or even lead to disabilities or death.

Here I tried to describe the most frequently found inhabitants of the sea, which should be fear when meeting in water, resting and swimming on the beach of some resort or diving.
If you ask any person "... What is the most dangerous seas and oceans?", Almost always we will hear the answer. " shark... ". But is it? Who is more dangerous, shark or externally, completely harmless shell?

Mureren

It reaches a length of 3 m and weight - up to 10 kg, but there are usually an individual with a length of about a meter. The skin of the fish is naked, without scales. In the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, are widespread in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Money live in the bottom layer of water, can be said at the bottom. Day of Moray is sitting in the crevices of rocks or corals, sticking out the head and usually reaches them from side to the side, looking out for swimming booties, at night they are chosen from shelters to hunt. Usually, Murena feed on fish, but they are attacked on crustaceans, and on octopuses that are caught from the ambush.

Meat Muren after processing can be used. It was especially appreciated by the ancient Romans.

Muren is a potentially dangerous for a person. The diver, who has become a victim of the attack of Mauren, always somehow provokes this attack - the hand or foot in the crevice, where Muren hides, or pursues her. Muren, attacking a man, inflicts a wound, which is similar to the trail of the bite of Barracuda, but unlike Barracuda Muren does not sing immediately away, but he hangs on his victim, for sure Bulldog. She can clutch in the hand of a short stagnation, from which the diver is not free to get rid, and then he can perish.

Not poisonous, but since Moorena does not sway, the wounds are very painful, they do not heal for a long time and often inflamed. Hiding among the underwater cliffs and coral reefs in the clefts and caves.

When Murena begin to feel hunger, then the arrow jump out of his shelters and grab the sacrifice sailing past. Very voracious. Very strong jaws and sharp teeth.

According to the type of Muren not too pretty. But they do not attack scablasts, according to some, they do not differ aggressiveness. A single cases are only when Mauren is a marriage period. If Muren takes an erroneous man for the source of food or he will invade its territory, then she can attack.

Barracuda

All barracudal live in the tropical and subtropical waters of the world's ocean near the surface. In the Red Sea - 8 species, among them - Big Barracuda. In the Mediterranean Sea species not so much - only 4, of which 2 moved there from the Red Sea along the Suez Channel. The so-called "Malita, which was mastered in the Mediterranean Sea, gives the main part of the entire Israeli catch of Barracud. And the most sinister damn barracud is a powerful lower jaw, far standing behind the upper one. The jaws are equipped with formidable teeth: a number of small, sharp, as a razor, teeth are sweeping the jaw outside, and there is a number of large teeth, similar to the daggers.

The maximum registered barracuda size is 200 cm, the weight is 50 kg, but the length of the barracuda does not exceed 1-2 m.

It is aggressive, rapidly. Barracuda is also called "live torpedoes" because they attack their sacrifice with a huge speed.

Despite such a formidable name and fierce appearance, these predators are practically harmless to humans. It should be remembered that all attacks on people happened in muddy or dark water, where the moving hands or feet of the swimmer were taken by Barracuda for swimming fish (It was in such a situation that the author of the blog in February 2014, when rested in Egypt, Hotel Oriental Bay Resort Marsa Alam 4 + * (now called Aurora Oriental Bay Marsa Alam Resort 5 *) Marsa Gabel El Rosas Bay bay . Maintenance Barracuda, 60-70cm, practically bit off the 1st falanga index finger on his right hand. A piece of finger dangled on a 5mm skin piece (dive gloves saved from full amputation). In the clinic of Marsa Alam, the surgeon put 4 sutures and saved a finger, but the rest was completely spoiled ). In Cuba, the cause of the attack on a person was brilliant items, such as watches, decorations, knives. It will not be superfluous if brilliant pieces of equipment are painted in a dark color.

Sharp teeth of Barracuda may damage the arteries and veins of the limbs; In this case, the bleeding should be immediately stopped, as the loss of blood can be significant. On the Antille Islands, Barracuda is afraid more than sharks.

Medusa

Every year, millions of people are subjected to "burns" from contacts with jellyfish when bathing.

There are no particularly dangerous jellyfish in the waters of the seas that wash the Russian shores, the main thing is to prevent the contact of these jellyfish with mucous membranes. In the Black Sea, the easiest way to meet with such jellyfish as Aurelia and Cornerota. They are little dangerous, and "burns" are not very strong.

Aurelia "Butterflies" Aurelia Aurita

Jellyfish Cornerot. Rhizostoma Pulmo)

Only in the Far Eastern seas inhabit enough dangerous for the human jellyfish "cross", the poison of which can even lead to the death of a person. This little jellyfish with a cross in the form of a cross on an umbrella causes strong burns at the point of contact with it, and after a while it causes other disadvantages in the human body - the difficulty of breathing, the numbness of the limbs.

Medusa Cross (Gonionemus Vertens)

The further south, the more dangerous jellyfish. In the coastal waters of the Canary Islands of careless swimsters, Pirate is waiting for a pirate - "Portuguese boat" - very beautiful jellyfish with a red comb and a multicolor bubble-sail.

Portuguese boat (Physalia Physalis)

So harmless and beautifully looks like "Portuguese boat" in the sea ...


And so, the leg looks, after contact with the "Portuguese boat" ....

Many jellyfish live in the coastal waters of Thailand.

But the real Beach for swimsuchikov is the Australian "Sea Osa". It kills a slight touch of multi-meter supreets, which, by the way, can be watched and by themselves without losing murderers. I can pay for acquaintance with the "sea axis" at best the strongest "burns" and ripped wounds, in the worst - life. From jellyfish "Sea Osa" more people died than from sharks. This jellyfish dwells in the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, especially numerous off the coast of Northern Australia. The diameter of its umbrella is only 20-25 mm, but the tentacles reach the length of 7-8 m and they contain the poison, according to the composition of the cobra poison, but much stronger. The man whom the Sea Osa will touches his tentacles, as a rule, dies for 5 minutes.

In the Mediterranean and other waters of the Atlantic, aggressive jellyfish also live - "burns" caused by them, stronger "burns" of the Black Sea Meduse, and they cause allergic reactions more often. These include cyania ("hairy jellyfish"), Pelagia ("Little Lilac Powered"), Chrysora ("Sea nettle") and some others.

Pelagia (Noctiluca), known in Europe called "Lilac Powers"

Pacific sea nettle Chrysaora FusceScens)

Medusa "Compass" (Coronatae)
Medusa "Compass" chose their place of residence coastal waters of the Mediterranean Sea and one of the oceans - the Atlantic. They live off the coast of Turkey and the United Kingdom. These are quite large jellyfish, their diameter reaches thirty centimeters. They have twenty-four tentacles, which are located groups of three pieces each. The color of the body is yellowish-white with a brown tint, and its form resembles a saucer, which is determined by thirty-two stakes, which are painted in brown along the edges.
The top surface of the bell has sixteen brown rays of the V-shaped form. The lower part of the bell is the location of the oral opening, surrounded by tentacles in the number of four pieces. These jellyfish poisonous. Their poison has a potent property and often leads to the formation of wounds, which are very hurt and heal for a long time.
Nevertheless, the most dangerous jellyfish inhabit the Australia and the waters adjacent to it. The burns of the cube and the "Portuguese boat" are very serious, and often fatal.

Skates

The trouble can deliver the skates of the sedags family and electrical skates. It should be noted that the rods themselves do not attack a person, an injury can be obtained, if you step on it when this fish hid at the bottom.

Skat "tailing" (Dasyatidae)

Electric Stingray (Torpediniformes)

Skates live in almost all seas and oceans. In our (Russian) waters, you can meet a skate-tailing or otherwise it is called a marine cat. He is also found in the Black Sea and in the seas of the Pacific coast. If you come on a scat-sneeze into the sand or resting at the bottom of the Skata, he can cause a serious wound to be offended, to all of them - enter the poison. He has a spiny on his tail, or rather a real sword - up to 20 centimeters in length. Its edges are very sharp, and besides the serrated, along the blade, from the bottom side of the groove, in which the dark poison from the poisonous gland is visible on the tail. If you hurt the tail in the bottom of the tail, it will hit the tail as beaches; At the same time, he hops his barrier and can cause a deep chopped wound. Wound from the stroke of the tail, processed as any other.

In the Black Sea dwells, also, the rocks of the Marine Fox Raja Clavata - is large, it happens to one and a half meters from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, it is bad for a person - if, of course, it is not to try to grab it over the tail covered with long sharp spines. Electric rates in the waters of the seas of Russia are not found.

Marine Anemones (Aktini)

Sea anemones inhabit almost all the sea of \u200b\u200bthe globe, but, like the remaining coral polyps, they are especially numerous and diverse in warm waters. Most species live on a coastal shallow water, but often find them at the maximum depths of the World Ocean. Actinia is usually hungry acts sit perfectly calmly, with widely placed tentacles with the slightest changes occurring in the water, the tentacles begin to fluctuate, not only they are drawn up to mining, but the whole body of actinium is often torn. Grabbing the victim, the tentacles are reduced and bend towards the mouth.

Actinia is well armed. Especially numerous cutting cells in predatory species. The volley of the shots of cutting cells kills small organisms, often causes strong burns and in larger animals, even in humans. May cause burns, exactly as some types of jellyfish.

Octopus

Octopoda (Octopoda) - the most famous representatives of charts. "Typical" Octopuses are representatives of the sub-train incirrina, bottom animals. But some representatives of this sublit and all kinds of the second sublit, Cirrina - pelagic animals living in the thickness of water, and many of them are found only at large depths.

They live in all the tropical and subtropical seas and oceans, from shallow water to a depth of 100-150 m. Prefer rocky coastal zones, looking for a cave and cleft in the rocks for habitat. In the waters of the seas of Russia inhabit only in the Pacific region.

An ordinary octopus has the ability to change the painting, adapting to the environment. This is explained by the presence in its skin cells with different pigments capable of stretching the pulses from the central nervous system to stretch or shrink depending on the perception of the senses. The usual color is brown. If the octopus is scared - it whites, if angry, then blushes.

When approaching enemies (including divers or scuba divers), they are fleeing, hiding in the crevices of rocks and under the stones.

A real danger represents the bite of the octopus with the negligence with it. The secret of poisonous salivary glands can be introduced into the wound. It feels acute pain and itching in the bite.
With the bite of an ordinary octopus, a local inflammatory response occurs. Abundant bleeding indicates the slowdown of blood coagulation process. Usually, after two-three days, recovery comes. However, there are cases of severe poisoning, in which symptoms of the lesion of the central nervous system occur. Wounds caused by octopus are treated in the same way as injections of poisonous fish.

Synecole ominog (Blue-Ringed Octopus)

One of the contenders for the title of the most dangerous for a man of the marine animal is Octopus Maculosus octopus, which is found along the coast of the Australian province of Queensland and near Sydney, is found in the Indian Ocean and, sometimes, in the Far East. Although the size of this octopus rarely exceed 10 cm, the poison in it is enough to kill ten people.

Wolfish

Corpaenidae college (Pterois) of the scorpaenidae family represent a greater danger to a person. They are easy to find out on a rich and bright color, which warns about effective means of protection in these fish. Even marine predators prefer to leave this fish alone. Finns of this fish are similar to brightly degraded feathers. Physical contact with such fish can lead to fatal outcome.

Wolfish (Pterois)

Despite the name, she does not know how to fly. This nickname fish received because of large breast fins, a little similar on the wings. Other width names - Zebra Fish or Fish - Lion. It was first received due to wide gray, brown and red stripes located all over the body, and the second is obliged to long fins, which make it similar to the predatory lion.

Refers a fish fish to the family of rapid. The length of the body reaches 30 cm, and the weight is 1 kg. The color is bright, which makes the cruise noticeable even at great depth. The main decoration of the cousin is long ribbons of spinal and chest fins, they resemble the lion's mane. In these luxury fins there are sharp poisonous needles that make the cruise of one of the most dangerous inhabitants of the seas.

Width in the tropical parts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans off the coast of China, Japan and Australia. It dwells mainly among coral reefs. The winner as it dwells in the surface waters of the reef, so it is a greater danger of swimsuchists who can step on it and break up about sharp poisonous needles. The painful pain arising from this is accompanied by the formation of a tumor, breathing is hampered, and in some cases the wound leads to death.

The fish itself is very voracious and eats all sorts of crustacean and small fish during the night hunt. The most dangerous include needle, bodywork, sea dragon, fish-hedgehog, fish ball, etc. It is necessary to remember only one rule: the fisher's coloring feature and its unusual form, the one she is poisonous.

Star needle (Tetraodontidae)


Body Cube or Fish Box Ostraction Cubicus)


fish-hedgehog (Diodontidae)


fish ball (Diodontidae)

In the Black Sea, there is a relative of the winner - the fish is noticeable (Scorpaena Notata), it is no more than 15 centimeters in length, and the Black Sea Rights (Scorpaena Porcus) - up to half a meter - but such large are more deeply, further from the coast. The main difference between the Black Sea Rights is long, similar to rag flaps, supervised tentacles. Spemen have a noticeable short.

spear noticeable (Scorpaena Notata)


black Sea Skorena (Scorpaena Porcus)

The body of these fish is covered with spikes and growths, spikes are covered with poisonous mucus. And although the poison is not so dangerous as the poison of the winner, it is better not to disturb her.

Among the dangerous Black Sea fish should be noted the sea dragon (Trachinus Draco). Extracted, similar to a snake, with an angular big head, bottom fish. Like other bottom predators, the dragon has scolded eyes on the top of the head and a huge, greedy mouth.

sea dragon TRACHINUS DRACO)

The consequences of the poisonous injection of the dragon - much more serious than in the case of the rapid, but not deadly.

Wounds from spikes Sperent or Dragonchik cause burning pain, the place around the injections blushes and swells, then - overall malaise, temperature, and your holiday for a day or two is interrupted. If you suffered from Bricks Yersh - contact your doctor. Wounds need to be treated as ordinary scratches.

The "Fish Stone" or Warthter (Synanceia Verrucosa) belongs to the Quarter Fish (Synanceia Verrucosa), but in some cases, and more dangerous than the winters.


"Fish Stone" or wart (Synanceia Verrucosa)

Sea hedgehog

Often in shallow water There is a risk of step on the sea hedgehog.

Sea hedgehog is one of the most common and very dangerous inhabitants of coral reefs. The body of hedgehogs with an apple is covered with staring in all sides similar to crumpled spokes with 30-centimeter needles. They are very moving, sensitive and instantly react to irritation.

If the shadow suddenly falls on her hedgehog, he immediately directs the needles in the direction of danger and folds them together several pieces in an acute, solid peak. Even gloves and wetsuits do not guarantee complete protection against the terrible peak of the sea hedgehog. The needles are so sharp and fragile that, penetrating deep into the skin, immediately rolled and extract them from the wound is extremely difficult. In addition to the needle, hedgehog is armed with small grateful bodies - pedicillary scattered at the base of the needle.

Poison of sea heroes is not dangerous, but causes burning pain in the place of injection, shortness of breath, a rapid heartbeat, passing paralysis. And they soon appear red, swelling, sometimes there are loss of sensitivity and secondary infection. The wound needs to be cleaned from the needles, disinfect, for the neutralization of the poison, a damaged part of the body hold on a very hot water of 30-90 minutes or impose a gulling bandage.

After a meeting with a black "long fighter", black dots can remain on the skin on the skin - this is a trail of the pigment, it is harmless, but it may make it difficult to find a needle stuck in you. After first aid, consult a doctor.

Shells (mollusks)

Often on the reef among corals there are wavy flaps bright blue.

mollusk Tridakna (Tridacna Gigas)

According to some reports, the divers sometimes fall between her sash, as in the drone, which leads to their death. The danger of thidaknes, however, is greatly exaggerated. These clams live in areas of shallow reefs in pure tropical waters, so they are easy to notice due to large sizes, brightly colored mantle and to compare the water during the low tide. The captured sink diver can easily be free, it is only necessary to bother between the sash knife and cut two muscles, compressive sash.

Poisonous mollusk cone (Conidae)
Do not touch beautiful sinks (especially big). It is worth remembering one rule: all mollusks having a long, thin and pointed eggs, poisonous. These are representatives of the kind of buchetic class cone having a brightly painted conical sink. Its length in most of the species does not exceed 15-20 cm. The cone causes an injection to sharp, like a needle, spike that is topped with a narrow end of the shell. Inside the spike passes the dump of a poisonous gland, according to which a very strong poison is injected into the wound.

Various types of kind cone are common on coastal shallows and coral reefs of warm seas.

At the time of the injection, there is a sharp pain. On the site of the introduction of the spike noted a reddish point against the background of pale leather.

Local inflammatory reaction is minor. There is a feeling of acute pain or burning, there may be numbness of the affected limb. In severe cases, there is a difficulty of speech, sluggish paralysis develops rapidly, knee reflexes disappear. A few hours later death may come.

With light poisoning, all symptoms disappear during the day.

The first aid is to remove spike fragments from the skin. The place of the lesion is cleaned with alcohol. Immobilization of the affected limb is performed. The patient in the lying position is delivered to the medical point.

Coral

Corals, both alive and dead, can cause painful cuts (be careful, walking around the coral islands). And the so-called "fiery" corals are armed with poisonous needles that are driven into a human body in the case of physical contact with them.

The coral base is polyps - marine invertebrate animals with a size of 1-1.5 millimeters or a little more (depending on the type).

Barely appearing on the light, the Ballet Polyp begins to build a house-cell in which he spends the entire age. Microdomics of polyps are grouped into a colony of which ultimately coral reef appears.

Having hungry, the polyp is pronounced from the "house" tentacles with a multitude of cutting cells. The smallest animals that make up plankton are running on the tentacles of the polyp, he paralyzes the victim and sends it to the oral hole. Despite microscopic sizes, the cutting cells of the polyps are distinguished by a very complex structure. Inside the cell is a capsule filled with poison. The outer end of the capsule is concave and has the form of a thin twisted tube spiral, which is called a cutting thread. This tube, covered by the miniature spikes, resembles a miniature harpooner. When touching the cutting thread straightens, the "harpooner" lies in the body of the victim, and the poison passing through it paralyzes the prey.

The poisoned "harpins" corals are able to hurt both a person. Dangerous belongs, for example, the fire coral. His colonies in the form of "trees" from thin plates were chosen by the shallow water of the tropical seas.

The most dangerous burning corals from the genus Milleporp are so beautiful that the scuba whales cannot resist the temptation to break down a piece of memory. You can do this without burns and cuts only in tarpaulin or leather gloves.

Fire coral (Millepora dichotoma)

Talking about such passive animals as coral polyps, it is worth mentioning about another interesting type of marine animals - sponges. Usually, sponges do not belong to the dangerous inhabitants of the sea, however, in the waters of the Caribbean there are some species that can cause severe skin irritation at the swimmer when contacting them. It is believed that pain can be removed with a weak solution of vinegar, but unpleasant consequences from contact with a sponge can last several days. These primitive animals belong to the family of Fibula, often they are called sponges.

Sea snakes (Hydrophidae)

About marine snakes are known a little. It is strange, as they live in all seas of the quiet and Indian oceans and are not among the rare inhabitants of the sea depths. Maybe all because people simply do not want to contact them.

And this has serious reasons. After all, marine snakes are dangerous and unpredictable.

There are about 48 species of marine snakes. This family has once left the land and completely passed on a water lifestyle. By virtue of this, marine snakes acquired some features in the structure of the body, and even externally differ somewhat from their ground fellow. The body is flattened from the sides, the tail in the form of a flat ribbon (in flat-minded representatives) or slightly elongated (at the lasty). Nostrils are located not on the sides, but on the top, so it is more convenient for them to breathe, drowning the tip of the muzzle from the water. Easy stretches throughout the body, but to a third of the whole oxygen, these snakes are absorbed from the water with the help of leather, which is thickly permeated with blood capillaries. Under water, the sea snake can be more than an hour.

The poison of the sea snake is dangerous for a person. In their poison, an enzyme prevails, which paralyzes the nervous system. When attacking the snake quickly deals with two short teeth, slightly bent back. The bite is practically painless, there is no edema, no hemorrhage.

But after some time weakness appears, coordination is disturbed, convulsions begin. From paralysis of the lungs in a few hours, death comes.

The large toxicity of the poison of these snakes is the direct result of the water habitat: so that the prey does not run away, it must be instantly paralyzed. True, the poison of maritime snakes is not as dangerous as the poison of snakes who live with us on land. With the bite of flat-resistant, 1 mg of poison is distinguished, and with a fastener bite - 16 mg. So, a chance to survive a person is. Of the 10 sea snakes biting 7 people remain alive, of course, if medical assistance will be provided to them.

True, there is no guarantee that we will be among the latter.

Among other hazardous water animals, it is necessary to mention particularly dangerous freshwater inhabitants - crocodiles living in the tropics and subtropics, piral fish living in the Amazon River basin, freshwater electric rivers, as well as fish, meat or some organs that are poisonous and can cause acute poisoning.

If you are interested in more detailed information about the dangerous types of jellyfish and corals, you can find it at http://medusy.ru/

Covering our planet by 70%, the sea is home to one of the most unusual, mysterious and deadly animals on the planet. As people are not born and do not live in the ocean, it makes us easy prey for many of these creatures, although, fortunately, we do not enter their main menu ...

As a person who spent too much time floating on the surface of the sea, he often tried to get closer to and know what was hidden below the sea level. Fortunately, statistics are not so frightening and, apparently, it rarely happens when a person is eaten alive in the open ocean. Nevertheless, do not think that the ocean water is so friendly to us, we always have to be alert.

When selecting the most dangerous marine creatures in the world, we take into account the statistics of attacks, the potential for killing and aggression of these animals. In this list there is a huge number of types from tropical jellyfish before the murderers of the Arctic.

10. Sea hedgehog

Photo. Toxopneustes (lat. TOXOPNEUSTES PILOLUS), Sea hedgehog

Many of you in our lives met with sea hedgehogs, and some have known how sharp spikes they have and how it hurts them in their skin. Nevertheless, Toksopneustestees (lat. Toxopneustes Pileolus) feels fine when it comes to protective tactics. In the Guinness Book of Records, it is described as "the most dangerous seaside hedgehog in the world," this is one of the representatives of the Ichalkinski on which you definitely should not come.

What makes this sea hedgehog so dangerous, this is his powerful poison that he is equipped. This poea contains at least two dangerous toxins: Contractan A, neurotoxin, which causes spasms of smooth muscles, as well as pedicoxin, protein toxin, which can cause convulsions, anaphylactic shock and death. The poison comes through pedies - these are the flowering structures that have given this hennal name. After the skin contact occurred, the Pedicellery often continues to pump a sacrifice poison. Obviously, the size of these pedies is directly related to the effectiveness of poison.

Toksopneustes is guilty in a variety of deaths that occurred with people over the years. The injection injection is very painful, as a result, paralysis can occur, problems with breathing and disorientation, all this can contribute to the drowning of a person. As for pain, here is a story about the bite, registered by the Japanese marine biologist in the 1930s:

"Then 7 or 8 Pedicellaries tightly dug into the inner side of the middle finger right hand separated from the fruits, they remained on the skin of my finger. I instantly felt a strong pain, reminiscent of the pain caused by intestinal bookstorms, and I felt like toxin begins to quickly move along the blood vessel from the treated area to my heart. After some time, I experienced difficulty breathing, weak dizziness, paralysis of the lips, language and age, relaxing muscles in the limbs, hardly in this state I could talk or control my facial expression, I felt almost as if I am going to die " .

9. Barrague

Photo. Big Barracuda (Lat. Sphyraena Barracuda)

The photo above should be quite enough to understand why Barracuda got into our list. Reaching up to 1.8 m (6 feet) in length and armed with terrifying massive super-all-terrain teeth, a torpedo-shaped Barracuda for more than can cause serious injuries to a person. In fact, there are 22 types of Barracuda, but, as you know, only a big barracuda (Lat. Sphyraena Barracuda) attacks people.

Diet Barracuda consists mainly of small and medium-sized fish. She uses his lightning speed and action tactics due to ambushes to catch it. In many registered attacks on people, people had brilliant items, such as jewelry and even diving knives. Apparently, Barracuda attracts it, she confuses them with fish and strikes.

Such attacks can lead to deep cuts, which often leads to damage to nerves and tendons or at worst to rupture blood vessels. These wounds may require hundreds of seams.

In rare cases, Barracuda, as you know, jump out of the water, which leads to serious wounds in people in the boat. During the recent case in Florida, which occurred in 2015, a canoist woman suffered, she really had to fight for his life after several broken ribs and punctured lung during the attack of Barracuda.

If still this information did not convince you that Barracudas should be in this list, that is, one more thing. Barracud has the last argument: there is sometimes sigoocoxin in their flesh, which can cause serious symptoms that last for several months.

8. Textile cone

Photo. Textile cone.

Conuses for many centuries really liked collectors because of their shells, but do not give in to deceive his beautiful appearance, these clams are killers! Equipped with tiny harpuns created from modified teeth, these creatures can in any direction to release the hollow harpoon filled with deadly neurotoxins. Harpoon in some large types of cones is very large and strong enough, so as not only to pierce human flesh, but also gloves and even the wetsuit.

One drop of poison cone is enough to kill 20 people, which makes it one of the most poisonous creatures on Earth. Known as Conotoxin, poison can very much only affect certain types of nerves. From the medical side, the bite of the cone usually causes intense localized pain with life-threatening symptoms, which does not pass for several days. On the other hand, from the moment this mollusk is horrified, it can very quickly occur paralysis of the respiratory system and subsequent death. In fact, one kind of cone is very famous as a "cigarette snail" all because of the fact that before you die you do not have enough time even to smoke a cigarette!

Despite the deadly poison, the cones are guilty of the death of just a few people who have occurred over the years, so they cost everything at number 8 on our list.

7. Sea Leopard

Photo. Sea Leopard.

Marine Leopard (Lat. Hydrurga Leptonyx) is actually named after his spotted skins, although it may explain it to his cruel character. Being on top of the food chain in Antarctica, this leopard is one of the largest seals in southern waters. Reaching up to 4 m (13 feet) in length and weight up to 600 kg (1320 pounds), the sea leopard is a formidable predator. In addition to its size and speed, these seals are also armed with a huge mouth (large enough to fit your head!), Using big pointed teeth, because of what he looks more like a reptile than on the seal.

The Sea Leopard menu includes other types of seals, seabirds, penguins and fish, although they are also known to be able to sink krill and small crustaceans. These seals usually hunt an ambush, just below the ice level when the seals or penguins jump into the water, it is at that moment they attacked their prey.

Given the fact that the sea leopard is found only in the cold waters of the distant southern oceans, they do not often come into contact with people at all. However, due to the fact that the sea leopard has already killed people, it makes him very terrible in our eyes.

Back in 1914, during the expedition of Ernest Sheklton, it was necessary to shoot the sea leopard, since he pursued a member of the crew of Thomas ORD Lisa. At first, the seal pursued the Horde Fox on Ice, after which it was immersed under the ice cover and followed him from below. After the sea leopard jumped ahead of the HRD, another member of the team managed to kill him.

In 2003, the British scientist was less successful. Kirsi Brown, a 28-year-old marine biologist worked with the British Antarctic service, she was engaged in snorkeling at the Antarctic Peninsula, then she was attacked by a large sea leopard. The seal dragged a woman deeply under the water, where she suffered.

While there are many stories about sea leopards disturbing people in boats, this incident is the first registered death case.

6. Bearded

Photo. Warthomy

This grumpy appearance seems to be too happy to be the most poisonous fish on the planet. Armed with 13 playful sharp spikes walking along the back, the stone fish merges perfectly with the surrounding background, it just waits for an unfortunate man at her. Another feature of the wart, which is always worth mentioning: it is able to survive outside the sea until 24 hours. It is really very difficult to notice on the seabed. The neurotoxic poison of warts is not only dangerous, but also incredibly painful. As reported, in fact, the injection of this fish is so painful that the victims asked to cut off the limb. Quote below shows how painful it hurts:

"In Australia, I received an injection into a finger from the rock-stone ... Not to mention the bee poison. ... Imagine that every wrist, the joint, elbow and shoulder fell under a sledgehammer for about an hour. About an hour later, you allegedly beat the foot on both kidneys within about 45 minutes, so so that you could just stand or get rid. I was about 20, I was well physically prepared, and I still had a small scar. In the next few days, pain remained pain in my finger, but for several years after that, the kidney pain occurred. "

For obvious reasons, many people received an injection with a warthoth in the leg. Although such cases can simply give a new definition of pain, however, such cases led to great trouble. Such injections poison are potentially fatal, causing palsy of breathing and, possibly, heart failure. In serious cases, urgent medical care and victim must be treated by antidote. In fact, this is the second most frequently introduced antidote in Australia and it led to the fact that there for almost 100 years no one died from the injection of warts.

5. Syncole octopus

Instantly recognizable in their rainbow rings, these small octopuses spend most of their time hiding in cracks or disguised in coral reefs of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Only when they feel a threat, sync-column octopuses really justify their name and show their true colors. At that moment, his skin becomes bright yellow, and the blue rings are even brighter, they almost flicker. This beautiful representation can also be a warning, since it is one of the most dangerous animals of the ocean.

What makes this octopus is especially dangerous, this is his poison. Not all octopuses have poison, but it is the sync-column octopuses that are located in the eleg. Known as TDT (Tetrodotoxin), this is an incredibly strong neurotoxin, the same can be found at the frogs of the tree and warts. It is about 1200 times stronger than cyanide, one small injection can be enough to die. In fact, as many sacrifices affirm, they did not even feel the injection.

According to reports, in the average sample weighing about 30 g is contained enough poison to kill more than 10 adults.

There is no effective antidote from the poison of synecole octologists, its neurotoxin is aimed at paralyzing the victim. According to the effect, it is similar to the medical coarara, which is used to immobilize patients during the operation, under its influence, a person is not able to speak and move. The main danger is that it paralyzes the lungs, as a result of which the sacrifice suffocates. In severe cases, rapid treatment is important and this involves connecting the affected system of life support until the effect of the poison will not be softened and breathing will not be restored.

There are many types of cubes that got their name due to their cubic bodies. Many cubes are especially poisonous as a large sea wasp (Lat. Chironex Fleckeri), she has the strongest poison. Detected along the northern shores of Australia and Tropical Southeast Asia, the sea wasp is often regarded as "the longest jellyfish in the world," more than 60 people died in one Australia because of it. Apparently, in other regions of the world, the number of dead is significantly higher, especially where the antidote is not always available.

The poison of the sea wasp is in second place among all creatures on Earth, more poisonous only at the geographical cone. Calculations show that each animal contains enough poison to kill 60 adults and very few animals are able to kill so quickly. In extreme cases, death comes from the stop of the heart, as is known, it takes less than five minutes after the person was Ulung. The bite himself causes painful pain along with a burning area, which is similar to the touch of a hot iron. The good news is that contrary to popular belief, urinates the bite will not cause any noticeable effect! In most cases, the tentacles remain on the sacrifice, and they are able to continue to stive even after you left the sea, which often leads to the formation of scars.

But there are also tiny jellyfish, Irukanguji. They are widespread and this small jellyf has a strong poison, which can lead to Irukanjangi syndrome, gradually appearing after the bite itself. It is also reported that the bite of Irukangji is potentially mortal, as is incredibly painful. One of the victims said that it is even worse than childbirth and more intense.

3. Sea snakes

Sea snakes There are many species that are mainly living in the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is believed that they originated from terrestrial snakes in Australia and adapted to life in small coastal waters, developing a huge left lung and stretching into length. They are closely connected with terrestrial cells and ends, which is a little surprising, because many sea snakes are very poisonous. In fact, it is surprising that their poison is much stronger than their terrestrial relatives. The reason for such poisonism is that they eat fish and this means that they should immobilize their sacrifice as quickly as possible to prevent her escape and not allow themselves to hurt.

Apparently, most of you have heard that, despite their deadly poison, marine snakes harmless, since they have tiny mouths. This is a complete nonsense! Real marine snakes have small fangs and have no huge mouths, but they are able to swallow the fish entirely and can easily bite the person, even through the wetsuit.

In fact, there are two reasons why marine snakes are considered much less dangerous than land snakes: first, they are usually shy and much less aggressive. In addition, they, as a rule, make a "dry" bite, i.e. poison is not entered. It is very unlikely, but in a person can enter poison and good news is that there are certain antides.

Of all the types of marine snakes there are two species that deserve mention. Notic Anhydrin (lat. Enhydrina Schistosa) is one of the most poisonous snakes on Earth. Her poison is almost 8 times stronger than Cobra, one drop is enough to kill three people. It is also considered more aggressive than most other marine snakes. The nucleus of the nosed enhydronone contains both neurotoxins and miotoxins, while the first will kill you thanks to the respiratory paralysis, the second will begin to split muscles, causing painful pain.

Despite these signs, it is known about several deaths, in which this snake is guilty, it is more common in deeper waters. Most bites were delivered to fishermen during the inspection of their networks.

The second sea snake, which is worthy of mention, is the Sea Snake Belcheri (Lat. Hydrophis Belcheri), only because it is often referred to as a snake with the strongest poison. It is often argued that its poison is 100 times stronger than even at intramicious Taipan. This is some exaggeration, but the poison is definitely like Tapane. Good news - the sea snake protecher is often described as a "friendly" character!

2. Promotional crocodile

A robe or sea crocodile is not accustomed to the pages "in the jaws of animals." This animal is mortally dangerous both on land and water, and this crocodile is the largest recycled reprints before us since the times of dinosaurs. The largest individuals that were registered and described, in length reached about 7 meters (25 feet) and weighed about 2 tons, although in the 1950s one crocodile reached a length of 8.5 meters (30 feet), it was supposedly caught about Cities of Darwin in Australia.

Along with his size, he also has an incredible force, at the sea crocodile the most powerful bite on Earth, 10 times stronger than that of a large white shark. They also quickly swim in the water, accelerating to the speed of 27 km / h (18 mph 18). On land, they are not so fast, but urban legends assure us that they are capable of an explosive effect, they allegedly faster than you can respond.

Despite the fact that most people associate a sea crocodile with Australia, it is widespread and more chaos in other places of habitat. A robe crocodile can be found throughout Southeast Asia and even far in the West, in India. It is also known that these crocodiles are capable of swimming over long distances, they saw them very far, on Fijah and New Caledonia.

In Australia, on average, two fatal attacks of marine crocodiles occur on the year. In other places, the number of attacks to evaluate difficult, but studies show that they are much more, up to 30 per year.

Perhaps the most infamous attack of ridge crocodiles occurred on Rarry Island (Myanmar) during World War II. After a fierce battle, Japanese soldiers refused to surrender and retreated into a swamp in crocodiles, which was surrounded by British sea infantrymen. According to reports, the night was killed by crocodiles about 400 Japanese soldiers. Witness, Bruce Stanley Wright wrote about the events of that night:

Video. Crocodile slaughter. Crocodile attacks on rary island

"The scattered rifle shots in a black Mollet of the swamps were interrupted by cries of wounded men eating huge reptile jaws, and the blurred anxious sound of rotating crocodiles was similar to the sound of hell, which rarely can be heard on Earth ...

Of about a thousand Japanese soldiers who entered the Rarre swamps, only about twenty were found alive. "

Photo. Big white shark

Not too many surprises here, right? A shark predators are the supreme ocean predators, they are very well equipped to cause serious injury: large, fast and powerful jaws, armed in several rows with sharp, as a razor with teeth, these fish are polished murder machines. Nevertheless, despite the existence of about 400 species, you can select only a few that represent at least some real danger to people. We have already described in another article, but still consider it worth choosing only four of them.

On the one hand, a big white shark is the most capable killer of all living sharks. Being a length of almost 8 meters (25 feet) and 3 tons in weight, large white sharks in vigenously deserved their name. Their favorite tactic, it is swimming under your prey, and then at the maximum speed (55 km / h, 35 mph) with an open mouth rise up, to put your teeth in any suspect prey.

Statistical data partly confirm the status of a large white shark as a fatally dangerous ocean escalation, from about 400 registered unwatching attacks approximately 20% ended with a fatal outcome. However, with a closer look at some other types of sharks, it can be understood that large white sharks are not as dangerous for a person compared to other species.

The bovine shark has slightly higher murder rates, about 25%, and it is believed that many attacks were either mistakenly attributed or not registered. Bull shark trump card is its ability to survive fresh water. These sharks all over the world were found at a distance of a thousand miles from the ocean in the mouths of the rivers, where no one expected to see them. They were even found in the lakes, which have only seasonal access to the sea.

In addition, bovine sharks, like tiger sharks, much less legible in the fact that they eat. While in most attacks of large white sharks, apparently, they mistakenly did not recognize their prey, the bullshish shark deliberately attacks people.

It is worth mentioning about one form of a shark, it is a long shark. Although statistical data does not speak of its danger, the legendary naturalist Jacques Koto described them as "the most dangerous sharks." It is these sharks that are blamed in hundreds of deaths during air and maritime disasters. The most famous cases are dated by the times of World War II, when the ships "New Scotland" sank off the coast of South Africa and Indianapolis in the Philippines. Although there are no accurate data, but presumably as a result of an attack of sharks the total number of those who died during these two disasters is about 1000.

The sea takes more than 70% of the surface area of \u200b\u200bthe globe. Scientists calculated that there are more than 12,000 species of animals living in the ocean potentially dangerous for a person. More than 50 thousand people each year receive injuries to varying degrees of contact with dangerous marine inhabitants. But this does not mean that you need to stay on the shore and do not go into the water. Most creatures of Cas never come into contact with a person, so the most important rule of security in the ocean when interacting with the underwater world - do not touch anything!

These broken mollusks are the most dangerous creatures in the world. Do not deceive their attractiveness, these small snails are armed with tiny harpuns formed from modified teeth. Inside the harpoon there is a cavity connected to a poisonous gland. Approaching the sufficient distance, the snail shoots harpoon and the victim is poured a strong toxin with a paralytic effect.

A geographical cone (Conus Geographus) is especially dangerous. In the Pacific Ocean, 2-3 people die from the bites of cone every year. According to statistics, one of three cases of the injection of the cone spike ends with death. Most often attracted by the beauty of the shell, the man tried to take her in his hands and forced the cone to defend themselves.

Fish-stone or wart - Sea fish of a family of warts with poisonous spikes on his back, which dwells at the bottom near coral reefs and mimicrates under the stone. It is considered the most poisonous fish in the world. These terrible species of fish lie on the bottom, waiting for any poor female on them. Sometimes they can meet in shallow water right next to the shore.

The poison causes strongest pain with a possible shock, paralysis and dying of tissues, depending on the depth of penetration. With the slightest irritation, the wart raises the barbs of the dorsal fin; Sharp and durable, they easily skew the shoes of a person who accidentally occurred on the fish, and penetrate deeply in the leg. With deep penetration, the injection may become fatal for a person if he will not be provided for medical care within a few hours. In case of entering the poison inside, depending on the depth of penetration, they apply a strong tightening dressing or a hemostatic harness, which is located between the wound and the nearest bend. If the barba fell into a large blood vessel, death can come after 2-3 hours. The survivors sometimes get sick for months.

The poison consists of a mixture of proteins, including hemolytic stonustoxin, neurotoxin and cardioactive cardioleptine. Since the poison is based on protein, it can be denatured by applying a very hot compression to the place of injury. Some relief can be obtained when the wound is cultivated by a local anesthetic. However, this is only a temporary measure to reduce pain and shock. Medical assistance must be provided as soon as possible.

Lionwright or fish-zebra - Fish of the Spring Family. It has a very noticeable appearance. Its body is 30-40 centimeters long with bright stripes. The main decoration of the winner is long ribbons of spinal and chest fins. They resemble a fan or lion grip. From here another name of the winner - Lion Fish.

To approach this beautiful fish is very dangerous. Responding to a change in the situation, she turns to the severity of the tranquility of the spinal fin in order to apply a poisonous injection, which causes a feeling as if a hot nail was drunk in his hand. At the site of the defeat develops swelling. The health of the patient deteriorates sharply for the first 10-15 minutes after the defeat. Common symptoms of poisoning are joined to burning pain: the drop of blood pressure, the paralysis of skeletal and respiratory muscles and as a result of respiratory and cardiovascular failure. In place of the puncture can develop gangrena. There is a possibility of fatal outcomes. In the event of recovery, a long time anxiety causes a necrotic focus at the inoculation site of poison.

The poison of the winner is protein, so after the injection it is necessary to make alternately hot and cold baths so that the poison rushes, and also take an antihistamine drug and consolidate the medical care.

The winters are more active at night, so in some places, such as in Dahab, where they are quite a lot, the night bathing without a lantern can be dangerous.

4) Sea Osa

Box Jellyfish, she is the sea OSA or Chironex Fleckeri (lat.) - The view of the sea bakery from the class of cubes (Cubozoa), common from the coast of Northern Australia and Indonesia. Representatives of this species are the largest of the cube; Their dome reaches the size of the basketball ball. They are pale blue and practically transparent. The latter circumstance creates an additional danger to swimmers due to the fact that the medus is extremely difficult to see.

This jellyfish is famous due to its ability to inflict burns; The tentacles of the animal are completely covered with blockage cells (non-namocytes), which contain a very strong poison. Burn causes painful pain, accompanied by an intense sense of burning; The poison of jellyfish has a multiple action, at the same time amazing the nervous system, heart and skin. Despite the fact that in order to have a fatal effect on an adult, a significant amount of poison should be released (it is highlighted in contact with approximately 3 meters, the supreets), a potent neurotoxic poison acts extremely quickly. Deaths were recorded after only 4 minutes after contact, which is much faster than with the bite of any snake, insect or spider; This is not without reason, it served as a reason for creating a bad fame of cube beam as the most deadly poisonous animal in the world. Despite the fact that there is an antidote, timely treatment of the victim can be difficult or impossible. Suggested by jellyfish swimsters often get a heart attack and drown, not even time to get to the shore or boat.

Busting wetting by vinegar immediately oppresses all non-captured non-namocytes, and friction of the burn site only aggravates the problem. The ineffectiveness of use was shown to neutralize water, urine or cola, which in essence can only provoke the release of poison. After use of vinegar, it may be necessary to restore respiration or conducting cardiovascular resuscitation. The tentacle prefect to the body should be carefully removed by protected hands or with a tweezers.

The removed tentacles remain dangerous to the destruction itself over time, and even being dried can restore their properties during moisture.

5) dull octopus

These small octopuses carry out most of the time in cracks and climbs on the seabed or disguised in corals. They can live at a depth of 75 meters, but, most often, directly by the shore, up to the band of the tide. Felt on rocks, stones, sandy and or orstive day, often on the meadows of algae or colonies of ascdias. Molluscs, empty bottles and beer cans can use asylum.

Despite the small size, they possess a rather aggressive character and are recognized as one of the most poisonous animals in the world. Sync urban octologists are easy to recognize the characteristic blue and black rings and yellow skin. When the octopus is irritated or frightened, brown areas appear on the skin, and the blue rings acquire a brighter color and overflow. They are powered by crabs, raws, hermit and shrimp. Being disturbed or defending it, attack the enemy.

His forces of his poison is enough to kill a person. Currently, antidote from the poison of a syneancolty octopus does not exist. The poison has a nervous-paralytic effect, is produced by symbiotic bacteria living in salivary octopus glands. Bitches are small in size and often painless. Some sacrifices did not know that they were attacked, up to the onset of the first signs of poisoning.

First aid is imposed on the wound of the gulling bandage, at the first signs of paralysis, it is also necessary to make artificial respiration, since the poison paralyzes the respiratory centers of the victim within a few minutes after the bite. Tetrodotoxin causes strong, and often full paralysis of the body. The victim remains conscious, but can not move. This effect, however, is temporary and disappears within a few hours, since tetrodotoxin is neutralized by the body. Thus, it is necessary that artificial ventilation of the lungs are carried out up to the arrival of medical personnel.

To provide full-fledged care, the bite victim needs inpatient treatment with a mandatory connection to the artificial respiratory unit until the toxin is removed from the body. The bites of the sync urinal octopus are especially dangerous for children, due to the small mass of the body. Since death from poison comes first of all due to the stopping of breathing, the victims of the bites survive if artificial respiration was started and continued before the development of cyanosis and arterial hypotension began. Victims who survived during the first day are most often completely restored.

6) Portuguese boat

Portuguese boat or Physie - a colony of polypoid and meduzoid individuals, externally similar to Medusa, but is not a jellyfish. This is a siffonophore - a primitive invertebrate organism. He represents a colony of four types of polyps coexisting together. Each of them performs the function allocated to it. Looks like a large transparent bubble at one of the ends of the colony (pneumatic) and long tentacles. The size of the bubble reaches 30 cm, filled with gas and keeps the colony on the surface of the water. It is he who gives the Portuguese boat an external similarity with jellyfish. Tentacles of representatives of this species carry a huge number of cutting cells whose poison is dangerous for a person. The length of the supreets in the straightened state can reach 50 m.

Pouring portuguese boats are powered mainly by fish larvae, as well as small fish and small squid.

When contacting the glowing tentacles, painful swells are formed at the burn site, muscle cramps can begin. The injured temperature increases, chills appear, nausea and vomiting.

According to the same data, in the burns of the Fiza helps wetting the affected skin with a 3-5% vinegar solution, which prevents the triggering cells remaining in the wound. In no case should not try to wash off poison with fresh water, still the whole cutting cells with poison are destroyed, and the pain is sharply enhanced. If the poison fell into the eye or pain is not removed within a few minutes, the doctor should seem.

According to another point of view, apply vinegar with burns received from contact with the Portuguese boat is not recommended. Vinegar applies with burns after contact with jellyfish, the poison of the Portuguese boat is different. Clamping cells are destroyed instantly, which makes vinegar ineffective. To relieve pain, it is recommended to wash the affected hot water areas for a long time. In the future, you can apply ice.

7) Sea Snake

There are a number of marine snakes found in the tropical waters of the quiet and Indian Oceans. It is believed that the Sea Snake turned into such a snake ordinary, and many of them, like land relatives can be poisonous. At the same time, the poison of the sea snake is much more powerful. This is not surprising, since their daily diet consists of fish, which is actively moving in the water and which you need to quickly immobilize. Prey they swallowed entirely by killing it with pre-bite of poisonous teeth. Fish is less sensitive to the serpentine poison than warm-blooded animals, therefore the poison of sea snakes has very high toxicity. Its action, like the action of poison cobra and other representatives of the ASPID family, does not cause hemorrhages or tumors, and suppresses the transmission of nerve impulses, which leads to paralysis of the respiratory center and the rapid death of the affected animal.

Sea snakes have small mouths and small fangs, however, they are still able to bite a person if they try well. Good news - they are less aggressive than terrestrial snakes. As a rule, if the sea snake bites you, it is most often a dry bite, i.e. without poison. If you are lucky enough to get a poisonous bite, do not worry, there is an antidote. At the first signs of poisoning - rapidly head to the nearest clinic.

Barracuda is large and frequently encountered marine fish from the squad of perch, living in all tropical and subtropical seas. A distinctive feature of Barraccud is a powerful lower jaw, protruding the upper one. A number of small sharp teeth sweep the jaw outside, inside there is a series of larger teeth. Maximum registered barracuda size - 205 cm, weight - 50 kg.

Barracuda eat smaller fish, squid, large shrimps. Usually, Barracuda lies their sacrifice in the ambush - among the stones, rocks or in thickets of underwater vegetation. But quite often small groups they attack the shoals of small fish. Freaks usually hold small barracudes, and large fish - one way. They attack at high speed, in the course of grabbing pieces of flesh with powerful jaws.

There are 21 types of barracud, but the most dangerous because of its size is a big barrahwhere. Barracuda can attract brilliant things that remotely resemble small fish. Some elements of equipment, such as clock, knives, whistles, or dressed on the body decoration are shine. These objects may be mistakenly adopted by Barracuda for prey. In addition, attacks on people happened in muddy or dark water, where the moving hands or feet of the swimmer were taken by Barracuda for sailing fish.

Barragus has very sharp teeth, so damage from such erroneous attacks per person can be quite serious and leave deep ripped wounds, including damage to the arteries and veins of the limbs. In this case, bleeding must be stopped as quickly as possible to avoid serious blood loss.

9) Triggerfish

Another frequently encountered fishing fish is spinorogogogo or triggerfish. The family of spinorogy (triggerfishes) refers to the detachment of needle-shaped sea fish and has about 40 species. A characteristic distinctive feature of spinorogs is an unusual dorsal fin. It contains three large spikes and when the fish is in a calm state, it is not visible. In case of danger, the spinorogo raises the biggest first spike and blocks it offsetting it. Such a fixation mechanism makes it impossible to fold the spinal fin without damaging it. After scaring the enemy, the fish folds the fin in the reverse order. In view of the fins with spikes look like a trigger, hence the English name of the spinorog - Triggerfish appeared.

One of the largest representatives of the spinogog family is the Titan Triggerfish or a blueberry balastic. Its length can reach 75cm, and weight more than 10kg. It is he who is well known and enjoys bad glory from divers, which is completely harmonious. Fish is extremely aggressive and can seriously damage the person in the water. Fortunately, aggression is manifested only during the period when the female lays out the caviar and in conjunction with the male guards the masonry, which is satisfied at the bottom. Until the appearance of the fry, the female is near the masonry. It mixes water with its fins, thereby enriching caviar with oxygen. The protected zone is expanding from the bottom up as a funnel.

Spinorog has powerful teeth created by nature for the flushing of corals and molluscs, which are easily contacting the wetsuit or flippers, so bites can be very tangible. Protecting offspring, parents are selflessly fight until the border is expelled. The main rule of salvation from the attacking fish is to move away from the nest to leave the zone of the dangerous funnel over it. It is more convenient to sail on the back, so you can constantly control the attacking spinorog and, if necessary, beaten with flips.

I specifically placed these guys at the eas end of the list, although most people would gladly put them in the first. They do not need in the presentation. Sharks are really dangerous marine animals for a person, although their danger and is very exaggerated. There is a wonderful article by Konstantin Novikov about diving with sharks, it is very recommended for study. Below just give a small passage from this article about sharks.

Among them there are potentially dangerous, such as: Bolshaya White (Carcharodon Carharias), Tiger (Carchardo Cuvier), Bychnya (Carcharhinus Leucas), Longly Oceanic (Car-Charhinus Longimanus), Giant Hammer Fish (Sphyrna Mokarran). But you need to understand and know that from all the above-mentioned white, for example, is on the verge of destruction, and to meet a tiger shark or a giant hammer is not easy and it is not possible to do it everywhere. With long-haired oceanic and bull sharks, the likelihood of eating. Places where people can face large and dangerous sharks are known: South Africa, Guadeloupe, Hawaii, Australia, Fiji, Cuba, India, California. If you are going to dive or engage in the underwater hunt in these regions, then be prepared for a meeting with the largest predators. It must be remembered that sharks feed on fish and attack a person extremely rarely. What do you think, how many incidents associated with sharks are registered a year? About 120. Approximately 8-10 of them with fatal outcome. There is an international ISAF database, where cases of attacks around the world are fixed. In the first place among the victims of the surfers, on the second - swimmers and swimsters; Slots and submarine hunters are also sometimes attacked.

It is clear that sharks most often attack people who resemble the animal, beating and noisy on the surface of water as their behavior. Attacks may be provoked or unprovoked. In the first case, a person himself encourages attack, for example, feeds fish, and then swims in the same place, or a submarine hunter clings to the Cukan still fighting fish, or a curious diver is enough for shark for a figure with the goal to ride her. Unwilling attacks most often happen there, where sharks are hunting for fish, turtles or seals. As a rule, in muddy water. Predator takes a person for his usual prey. But I will repeat that potentially dangerous big sharks are very small. They rarely attack. Much less often dogs or deer. By the way, the hippos is killed about 3,000 people annually in Africa! Do not compare with sharks, isn't it? But if you look at the production statistics sharks by a person, then the numbers are terrifying. People are killed annually - just think about it, - one hundred million sharks !!! They fit them to fear us, and not the opposite.

Candidate of Naval Sciences, Professor V. Dygalo.

Council Admiral Victor Ananyevich Dygalo - a man who was born by the sea, and then gave him a majority of life. In 1944, the eighteen-year-old boy, he participated in hostilities on the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, in 1945 - in the Victory Parade. Then there were a twenty-year-old service on submarines, the command of the division, which included tragically died in March 1968 at the Hawaiian Islands Rocket submarine K-129. The crazy sailor was elegant all the seas and oceans, went to the ports of Indonesia, Malaysia, Africa and Europe, twice crossed the equator. He watched marine animals not only in the open ocean, but also in giant aquariums in Singapore and Suez. Knowledge of the underwater peace and impressions of what they saw reflected in the article about the inhabitants of the ocean, which should be fear.

When they talk about the dangers that the ocean pays, first of all recall the shark. One mention of them cattures fear, before the eyes immediately arises the image of a giant-eater-eater than the famous American Movie "Jaws", filmed in the early 1970s according to the novel of Peter Benchley.

In fact, sharks, with the exception of several species, and most of them more than 250, do not attack a person. Other weak sea predators behave also behave. But it will not be about them.

Most of all dangerous marine animals are found among small, often inconspicuous or, on the contrary, very bright and multicolored marine inhabitants. These are completely harmless with the form of creatures produce the strongest, sometimes deadly poisons. Scientists have about 500 species of poisonous fish, 93 types of poisonous intestine animals, 91 types of mollusks, 26 species of iglinodes. But you should not succumb to fear. Poisonous marine animals are striking a person, as a rule, in order of self-defense, when it disturbs them or carelessly moves pain.

One of the most poisonous and also the most ugly marine animals is a rock-stone. It is called still a tuberculosis or wart. This is a creature of a length of only 15-20 centimeters, with the ugly large heads, small eyes and a large mouth with an outstanding lower jaw. Naked, without scales, brownish-brown, sometimes with blond stains and stripes, the body of the Fish-stone is covered with warmers and warts, and rigid poisonous spikes stick out from the dorsal fin. Typically, the wart is hiding among the corals, under the stones, breaks into IL or sand and can stay on the shore in the puddles after low tide. It looks like a stone chip and is incapacitated, so it is almost impossible to notice it. If a person comes to the fish-stone or randomly touching it, she immediately spits the spikes of fins, at the base of which poisonous glands are located. Warthami poison is extremely dangerous. There are cases when a person died in a few hours and even minutes after the injection of her poisonous spikes.

The Stone Fish is found in the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, at the Pacific Ocean Islands and Northern Australia, the inhabitants of which are called its warts vampire. People who were lucky enough to survive the injection of warts, often remain disabled, because her poison destroys blood red blood cells and strikes the central nervous system. Unlike fish-stone, Camouflage craftsmen, zebra fish, or cruise, has a very noticeable appearance. Its body 30-40 centimeters is painted with bright pink stripes. The main decoration of the winner is long ribbons of spinal and chest fins. They resemble a fan or lion grip. From here another name of the winner is a lion fish. But, perhaps, the most designer nickname is a fish-turkey. When she slowly floats, opening the fan of breast and lace tail fins, then it really resembles the intention of the marching turkey through the bird courtyard. It is in these luxurious fins that are taking sharp poisonous needles. The injection of the wolfold, like warts, causes the strongest pain, from which people lose consciousness or fall into a state of shock.

It is believed that the Zebra fish is able to kill a person, however such cases were not documented in any of the places where it lives (in the coastal waters of the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, as well as in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of China, Japan and Australia). It is dangerous to approach the cruel. Responding to a change in the situation, it turns to the disturbance of calm the spinal fin so that the lightning point is but to apply a poisonous injection. The poisoning of the poison of the winner proceeds very hard: it is accompanied by convulsions, violation of the heart of the heart, it happens that gangrene develops at the site of the puncture. The poisonous sea dragon fishermen is worse from ancient times. The injection of its spikes, located on the dorsal fin and along the gill slots, is considered no less painful and dangerous than the zoil zebra. It can cause respiratory disruption, convulsions and even lead to a heart stop. The spikes at the dragon came from five to seven, each of them is covered with a thin layer of skin, the spike tip sticks out from it as a needle. The dragon meets off the coast of Norway and the British islands and further south to the Mediterranean Sea and the coast of North Africa. Poisonous spikes stuff their sacrifice and tapes, known as the marine cat. According to statistics, only about 1,500 people suffer annually from their Ukol. It does not happen because the tapes are especially aggressive, they were simply chosen to stay coastal waters in a huge water area - from the countries of Northern Europe and North America to medium breadth of the southern hemisphere, and there are almost always a lot of swimming and fishermen.

The arms of the sea cat is one or a few sharp spines located at the end of the punching tail. Even at a small half-meter tail, inhabiting in the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the length of the tail spike reaches 20 centimeters, and the 3-4-meter slopes on the tail in the leg thickness is 30 centimeter spike. Skat is able to strike such a power that can break through the tail of the boat.

The nucleus of the marine cat is very toxic. It falls into a wound with a cloth filling the stumps of spikes, and immediately amazes the cardiovascular system (causes a drop in blood pressure, reinforced heartbeat), poisoning is accompanied by vomiting and intensive trembling. Residents of the Pacific Islands, Malayans, Australia's Aborigines and the Indians of South and Central America have long been manufactured from the needles of tailbags for arrows. According to Diergreic mythology, Odyssey was killed by such an arrow. In West Africa and on Ceylon from the barbed tails of small skates, they made a whim, which were punished by criminals, and in the Seychelles were kept such screens to intimidate wives. Among the sea ends, belonging to the Eagliner's squad, which includes about 600 species of marine animals, some are completely harmless, others better bypass. Poisonous hedgehogs are common mainly in the tropical and subtropical areas of the Indian, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Most often they affect people at the islands of the western part of the Pacific Ocean.

The spherical body of the sea hedge almost completely covered with needles. Their injection causes the same pain as a hot nail rushing into the body, and if the needle penetrates deeply, the burning does not stop several hours.

The inhabitants of coral reefs are a great danger to a person - tropical hedgehogs of the diadem family. Their body with an apple is covered with 4-centimeter needles with 30-centimeter needles stitched in all directions. They are very moving, sensitive and instantly react to irritation. If the shadow suddenly falls on her hedgehog, he immediately directs the needles in the direction of danger and folds them together several pieces in an acute, solid peak. Even gloves and wetsuits do not guarantee complete protection against the terrible peak of the sea hedgehog. The injury of them causes acute pain, severe breath, even paralysis is possible. The coast of Japan meets another poisonous seaside hedgehog - toxopneustes. Local fishermen call this hedgehog killer, because the injections are fatal. Toxopneustes are somewhat larger than the diadems. The body is devoid of needles, but is covered with a variety of so-called pedicillary - flexible stalks, which end with something like twigs from two or three limestone sash. When the hedgehog is calm, its "tweeters" with opened flaps slowly swaying in water. But it costs a careless animal to hurt them, as poisonous jacocks work: the sash climbs, and the poison is injected into the body of the captured victim. Tokcopneustes holds it until completely paralyzes. If the prisoner still manages to get rid of hedgehog, it takes on himself tightly clutched tweeters that continue to shrink and produce poison for a few more hours. Swimmer, struck by this poison, risks drown.

In the story "Lion Griving" Arthur Conan Doyle described the mysterious killing of a young teacher: "His back was lined with dark-bugs, as if he was bumping from a thin wire. Macpherson was, apparently, tortured and killed by some extraordinarily flexible tool, because Long, sharp scars clistered from the back and captured their shoulders and ribs. The chin flowed blood from the bottom lip caught from the unbearable pain. " Sherlock Holmes revealed a crime. The killer was jellyfish! These inhabitants of the sea seem no more dangerous than foam on the crest of the wave, but among them there are poisonous, whose tentacles leave a strong burn on the body.

To poisonous applies, for example, Cyania's jellyfish, or a lione mane (killer from Conan Doyle's story). The diameter of the bell-shaped body of this giant reaches 2.5 meters and more, and the poisonous tentacles assembled in eight beams (in each bunch of one and a half of the threads) - 30 meters! The elongated tentacles of Cyania resemble an unusually beautiful crimson loop, when they are tightened and shook, they become like tangles of confused hair or, as Conan Doyle writes, lion mane. These jellyfish are widespread in the northern regions of the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic and in the Baltic Sea. Kill a person they are unlikely to be able, but the touch of their tentsers can cause deep skin lesions.

Compared with the huge cyanus of the jellyfish of the gonionem, a little baby is not more than Pig. Her dome is similar to the bell with four red-brown folds in the form of a cross on a concave side. For this, a gononym is called a crossed. It will drive in the waters of the Pacific Ocean: in the Japanese Sea - at Vladivostok, in Olga Bay, in the Tatar Strait, near the southern tip of Sakhalin, off the coast of Japan and the South Kuril Islands. Large accumulations of the gonionama are sometimes observed in the Gulf of Peter the Great. Live crossing in shallow water in the thickets of sea grass. It is attached to the plants with suckers and lumps prey. The burning of the goning feels like a nettle with a burn, but unlike it entails severe illness with sharp pains in the lower back and joints, cramped breathing, dry non-corrosive coughing, nausea, strong thirst, numbers and legs. The censor poison often acts even on the psyche, then the patient flows into the state of extreme nervous excitement, then depressed. Usually poor well-being lasts 4-6 days, but for about a month, pains and discomfort may be renewed.

Sometimes the invasions of the crosses take the dimensions of the natural disaster. Several times they appeared at the midst of the swimming season on the waters of Primorye. Locals and holidaymakers on the shores of the Amur Gulf remember July 17, 1966, when an indispensable flock of crosses approached the beaches. They were then injured by more than a thousand people. In the summer of 1970, only in one day there they also received burns from the touch of a cross strike of 1360 people, of which 116 had to hospitalize.

Caboomases are related to poisonous, called so for a slightly rounded cubic shape of the bell. In the lower corners of the cube, this jellyfish has four growers - the so-called hands. Each "hand" is divided into several "fingers" ending with long thin tentacles. The most poisonous of the cube and, probably the most deadly of all the well-known inhabitants of the sea - the sea wasp. The danger of contact with these small (no more than 20 centimeters in diameter) with translucent meduses is great, since they are difficult to notice in water, and they are fairly quickly floating. (The speed of movement of the sea wasp 4 kilometer per hour.) Live cubes in tropical waters. Especially commonly found off the coast of Northern Australia and the Philippines. They are in love with shallow water, protected from wind coves with a sandy bottom, and in quiet weather fit the beaches. On hot days, the cubes are lowered to the depth, and in the mornings and evenings rise to the surface. From the touch of their tiny, deadly tental tental tentils by the thousand people can die in seconds. For 25 years near the state of Queensland (Australia) about 60 people died from burns, while the victims of sharks were only thirteen.

Big danger to people pose floating phzasals. Many have them to meduals, but in fact they are a huge floating colony of meduz mutants and polyps, in which everyone performs its own, strictly defined function: one "mining" food, others "digest" it, third "hold defense", The fourth "answer" for the offspring. Related with general livelihoods, they constitute a single organism.

The phisaly layout is kept using a pneumatic foam bladder filled with gas. This gas consisting mainly of nitrogen (about 90%) with a small admixture of oxygen and argon, produce glands inside the bubble. Some phzalas, changing the volume of the swimming bubble, can fall at different depths. The Book from Pneumator is a trunk, to which several hundred polyps performing different functions are attached. Polyps tentacles go to a depth of 20-30 meters. Over the entire length, they are dotted with stinging (nucleus) cells. Shrinking, the tentacles slowly fasten the prey to the center of the colony, where it is digested by the feed polyps.

One of the most common types of Physie - Portuguese boat. It meets in the tropical part of the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean Sea. Close to it types of phzizals live from the Hawaiian Islands and off the coast of the southern part of Japan. Portuguese boat received its name for a bright colorful swimming bubble, resembling a Middle Ages Portuguese Sail. The bottom of the bubble is blue, on top - a bright red comb, and all it is overflowing with blue, purple, purple flowers, gently silver. The swimming bubble of the particulate of only 30 centimeters is similar to a beautiful rubber hat. He who tries to catch her out of the water can get a burn. He was tested by Yuri Senkevich during the first navigation through the Atlantic Ocean on the papyrus boat "RA". Praised by the beauty of the Physie, he tried to take her in his hands. "Nothing thinking, I grabbed her," he recalled SENKEVICH, "and roared from pain, feverishly began to wash his fingers with sea water, but the sticky mucus did not lag behind. Attempt to wash the mucus soap was also unsuccessful. Hands burned and weave, the fingers fenced with difficulty. A anesthetic medicine spraying from a special pulverizer took pain for a few minutes, but she immediately returned with a new force. The fingers were no longer bent, the pain began to spread to the shoulders and then in the heart of the heart, the overall state of health was disgusting. Accepted Two Tablets Analgin, Validol, Pyramidon And what is called, fell into bed. I was shaking a church. I quit gradually. I first left the right hand, then left. The pain subsided only after five hours. But the malery lasted for a long time ... "Sometimes the Portuguese ships fall into Gulf Stream and transferred to these current In the strait of la-mans. When they accumulate off the coast of England and France or, for example, near the beaches of Florida, television, radio and printing warn the population of danger.

The giant bivalve mollusk is called a mollusk killer. The weight of this sea monster reaches 250 kilograms (there are even 430-kilogram specimens), and the length of the shell is about one and a half meters. And although not a single reliable occasion of the death of people, the experienced divers claims that the thidakna can hold a person in the sash sash, as if in the vice. So the catchers of pearls and scuba dwells are away from it. The so-called cones are most dangerous of the mollusks. They got their name for almost the right conical shape. These poisonous fishing clams are really able to kill a person. They are damaged to a sharp thorn, which is put forward in the slot on the narrow end of the shell. The spike ends with a huge tooth like harpoon. Inside the spike passes the canal from the poisonous gland, along which a very strong poison is injected into the wound. A chip-cone spike causes acute pain, numbness of the place of defeat and other parts of the body, then the palsy of the respiratory organs and the cardiovascular system may occur. According to statistics, one of three, and then from two cases of injection, the cone is ends with death. True, all these cases occurred by the human fault: brought by the beauty of the shell, he tried to take her in his hands and forced the cone to defend themselves. In the Pacific Ocean, 2-3 people die from the bites of mollusk-cone every year, and only one human sacrifice account for sharks. Shellfish-cone shells are not more than 15-20 centimeters, painted in bright colors and covered with a variety of patterns. The cone Gloriamaris, for example, called the fame of the seas, is considered the most beautiful sink in the world. It costs up to two thousand dollars and is highly appreciated by collectors. Not only on Earth, but in the ocean there are fabulous corners - this is, according to many, coral reefs. Pirish, branched, spherical corals are a feast of paints. Among them are a bright green "shrub" and thickets of orange-yellow "trees", pink, gray, lilac "grass", yellowish-ocher "mushrooms" with inverted hats and brown with a blue cauliflower raid.

For a long time, corals considered plants. Only in the XIX century they were finally ranked with the animal world. By the way, corals that are exhibited in museums are used in jewelry and to decorate the interior, they are not at all like animals - these are only their lime skeleton. The basis of coral is polyps - marine invertebrate animals with a size of 1-1.5 millimeters or a little more (depending on the type).

Barely appearing on the light, the Ballet Polyp begins to build a house-cell in which he spends the entire age. Microdomics of polyps are grouped into the colonies, the very "trees", "shrubs", "mushrooms" ... Having acted, the polyp is superimposed from the "house" tentacles with a multitude of cutting cells. The smallest animals that make up plankton are running on the tentacles of the polyp, he paralyzes the victim and sends it to the oral hole. Despite microscopic sizes, the cutting cells of the polyps are distinguished by a very complex structure. Inside the cell is a capsule filled with poison. The outer end of the capsule is concave and has the form of a thin twisted tube spiral, which is called a cutting thread. This tube, covered by the miniature spikes, resembles a miniature harpooner. When touching the cutting thread straightens, the "harpooner" lies in the body of the victim, and the poison passing through it paralyzes the prey.

The poisoned "harpins" corals are able to hurt both a person. Dangerous belongs, for example, the fire coral. His colonies in the form of "trees" from thin plates were chosen by the shallow water of the tropical seas.

The most dangerous burning corals from the genus Milleporp are so beautiful that the scuba whales cannot resist the temptation to break down a piece of memory. It is possible to do this without burns and cuts only in tarpaulin or leather gloves and in shoes with rubber soles or in flippers that fully cover the foot. Such precautions will be removed not only from burns, but also from cuts. And although the wounds obtained in contact with corals are usually shallow, they will heal for a long time and can even turn into trophic ulcers.

Predated by one of the professional diseases of the divers was considered the "Disease of Sponge Catcher", when burning jagging rash and ulcers appeared on the body of the underwater swimmer. For a long time they believed that the culprit of this disease is a sea sponge. But at the beginning of this century, scientists discovered that the touch was dangerous not to the sponges themselves, but to the burning tentacles of the acting sitting on them, another representative of coral polyps. Actius - large animals with a height of one meter with soft tubular bodies, deprived of a lime skeleton. They live not by the colonies, but by one, in search of the refuges are able to overcome a small distance. By choosing a place, acti attached to shells, stones, dead corals using "soles" located at the lower end of the tubular body. At the top of the body, Aktini has a mouth, surrounded by numerous tentacles collected in a whisk. These tentacles are surprisingly similar to chrysanthemums, dahlias or asters and differ in the same diversity - there are magenta, brown, snow-white, green, gentle blue acts. An amateur to adoperate on sponges Pink Actinia, despite the beauty, is most dangerous. It occurs off the coast of Iceland, European countries, Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. No less poisonous relatives, adamsia and anemone are even wider: Adamsia - from Norway to Spain, and anemon - in the eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean, from Norway and Scotland to the Canary Islands.

The contacts of a person with the inhabitants of the sea are becoming more closely. The underwater world attracts amazing beauty and diversity. But that the meeting with him is safe, you need to know the marine animals, especially those who relate to poisonous.

It seems that many dangerous inhabitants are hidden in the depths of the ocean. Meanwhile, the danger of most of them is a very conditional concept. After all, the harm they cause only those who disturb them or attack. Usually, if such creatures are deliberately not touching, they are not dangerous. Another thing is when they are forced to defend themselves or their home.

Fish Zebra. This fish is still called a striped matter, it belongs to the family of rapid. It is possible to meet it in the coastal waters of the Red Sea, in the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific. Zebra Fish is found off the coast of Australia, Japan and China. The body of it is 30-40 centimeters long, painted with pink stripes. Wilder fish was nicknamed due to long fins in the form of ribbons on the back and chest. It is there, in this beauty, and the poisonous needles are hidden. The injection of the wolting leads to the appearance of strong pain. From her people can go into a shock state or even lose consciousness. The poisoning proceeds very hard, it lasts several hours. During this time, a person experiences convulsions, the activities of his heart deteriorate. The victim should be immediately pulled out as shore, otherwise he can simply drown. Although it is believed that the Zebra fish is able to kill a person, such cases was not documented in any of its habitats.

Cones. Such a name is a whole family of predatory bruhogs of mollusks. Usually mollusks live in warm tropical seas, just some of them are closed in cold water. The cones themselves are very active, especially when someone touches them in their own habitat. The toxic apparatus of these creatures includes a poisonous gland, connected by a channel with a solid trunk Radule-grater. That is located near the narrow end of the shell. Teeth mollusk replace sharp spikes. Although most cones are powered by sea worms, in this family there are exceptions - fishermen cones and molluscane cones. If you touch the sink, the cone quickly highlights the Radun, stacking spikes into the body. The injection is accompanied by acute pain, a person can even lose consciousness. The place of lesion begins to no longer, the sensitivity and other sites are lost. As a result, it may even occur to the paralysis of the respiratory organs and the entire cardiovascular system. The poison of the cone in its effects is similar to the cobra poison. There is a blocking of the receipt of signals from the nerves to the muscles. Statistics gives impressive data - every third, and the second case of the injection of the cone spike becomes fatal. It should only be noted that the people themselves are the cause of misfortune. A person attracts the beauty of the shell and want to take her in hand. The cone starts to defend themselves. Today, on the basis of poison, the cone has already become even producing medicines that help against epileptic seizures or simply anesthesia.

Cyania hairy. You do not like jellyfish? Meet Cyania - the largest jellyfish in the world. She lives in all the northern waters of the quiet and Atlantic Oceans, it can be found close to the surface in coastal waters. In October 1997, a person with a diameter of an umbrella in 74-76 centimeters was caught in the bay of Peter the Great. And on the east coast of the United States, the famous zoologist Luis Giissits in the last century caught a medus, the diameter of the domes of which was 2.2 meters. But in the book of Records, the Guinis was hit another record - the maximum diameter of the umbrella was 2.28 meters, and the length of the proven was 36.5 meters! In jellyfish, the umbrella is supplied with a strong muscles, while the muscles have brown or frosted color with a red or brown tint. The main part of the body is painted in red with a brick or raspberry tint. The tentacles are descended from the edges of the umbrella, they will eventually form a solid veil. Cyania - predatory creatures. There are many blinking cells on their long and numerous tentacles. Medusa can shoot them, as a result, a strong poison hits the victim's body. He is able to kill small animals, bringing severe damage even to large beings.

Scorena. This fish, more well-known to us, like sea ers, gave the name a rather large family of rapid. She lives in the seas attached to the Mediterranean, as well as in it, as well as in the Atlantic Ocean at the coast of Africa and Europe. Scremen prefers coastal waters, where she loves to hide in algae and just lie on the day waiting for prey. There is only some careless fish or a large cancer to swim to the fish for a distance of 10-15 centimeters, as it makes a sharp jerk, widely separated. Along with the flow of water, mining falls there. For this, the growing is well disguised - it has skin grows on the head and the painting color with dark spots on the body. Each month, the sea eers passes through the molting. The top layer of the skin is reset as a snake. The enemy Sperent meets his spines. Pricks of this fish are rather dangerous for a person, they are very painful. In addition, infection often falls in the wound. The place around the injection begins to root and swollen, the temperature rises.

Caboomy. This animal refers to the string class. The cube lives off the coast of Northern Australia and in Indonesia. The bad fame of the creature brought her ability to apply strong burns. All jellyfish tentacles are covered with stinging cells containing strong poison. The facts applied are very painful, the power of poison is such that he is able to kill 60 adults in three minutes. Scientists calculated that the cube was the cause of the death of at least a hundred people in the past century. This has become the basis for a common opinion that it is the most dangerous and poisonous jellyfish in world waters, and maybe in general the most dangerous animal in the world. In those places where the cube dwells, they put special grid boards that protect swimming. Dangerous beings through small cells to penetrate people cannot.

Negotie. This family of a family of needles is famous more like a fugue fug, a fish-dog or a fish-ball. It contains a strong poison of Tetrodotoxin. Greetings are usually found in the warm seas of tropics and subtropics. When the situation near the fish inspires her danger, it can increase in size 2-3 times. In this case, this ability does not depend on the environment in which it remains. Indeed, in the abdominal cavity there are special bags capable of gaining water and air. A nickname dog-dog, like a rockozub, she received for her unusual teeth. They have grown, making four durable plates. They are so strong that the fugu with their help is easily hiding the shells of crabs and mollusks, extracting their feed. Yad Tetrodotoxin is contained in the internal organs of the fish, its main part is in the liver and calamity, as well as in the bustling bubble and skin. As a result, the caviar and the liver of the fish can not be there, but the rest of the body require careful and special pretreatment. If the poison remains, it blocks the sodium channels of the membranes of nervous cells. Muscles will quickly be paralyzed, breathing will stop. To prepare a fugus, all cooks must pass licensing. Despite this, a few people die from poisoning an incorrectly cooked dish.

Warthomy. In the family of warts, there are carnivorous fish-stone, on the back of which poisonous spikes are located. Of all poisonous fish, this is the most dangerous. The usual warthilloma size is 20-40 centimeters. It leads a sedentary lifestyle, preferring coastal waters. Dangerous fish merges with stones, it is very difficult to see it even on land during frequent sings. On the dorsal fins, 12 thick barns are located with the help of which it injected the poison produced by sacrifice. Small irritation is already enough for warts to raise its spikes. They have her durable and sharp, which helps it easily penetrate deep into the muscle. Even footwear shoes does not become an obstacle. After a few hours, the unfortunate loses consciousness, tormented by the unbearable pain and the defeat of vital nervous centers. If the barba fell into a large blood vessel, then death can occur in 2-3 hours.

Synecolic octopus. In the tropical waters in the west of the Pacific Ocean and the nearest zones of the Indian Ocean, this small octopus lives. It is very small - its length is not more than 20 centimeters, but a mass of no more than 100 grams. When the octopus is excited, it all covers bright blue spots. If it is calm, then externally does not differ from other harmless fertilizers. In this mollusk, there is a strong poison - neurotoxin, which is produced by salivary glands. The substance has two components, each of which is deadly in itself. The poison simultaneously affects the muscular and nervous system, leading to a paralysis of the respiratory muscles. Until recently, only the only possible means of salvation of the victim from the poison of such octopus was known. A person immediately needs to make a long-term artificial respiration.

Sea hedgehogs. These creatures refer to the class of iglinodes. In total, there are almost 940 species of marine hectares. Their bodies usually have a spherical shape, rushing in diameter from 2-3 centimeters to 30. Sea hedgehog covered with lime plates, which all together form a dense shell. It has games that have a length of 1-2 millimeters in flat echoes up to 25-30 centimeters from the diademose. Among the hedgehog there is even a view that has no needle in general - toxopneustes. Needles perform an important function for these creatures. With their help, marine hedgehogs feed, protected and move. Some types of needles are also poisonous. Such marine hedgehogs were mainly chosen by the tropics and subtropics of the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Ocean. When fragile needles penetrate the body, they usually break. At the same time, toxins penetrate the tissue. At the time of the body damage to the needles of the poisonous sea hedgehog, a person can feel severe pain. It takes only a few minutes and the temperature is significantly increased in the affected place, swelling appears. The skin can lose sensitivity here, Athony arises and sometimes even paralysis of the affected limb.

Thelopolovye. These stinging rods have a body length to 2.5 meters in diameter, and their weight reaches 16 kilograms. Behind the very base of the tail is a large barley with jazbins on cods. Its injections are extremely dangerous, because there are poisonous glands here in the groove. The poisonous properties of the skate were known for a long time, even the ancient Greeks used a poison of the spike of tailing as an anesthetics in the treatment of teeth. Today, people are often in contact with this skate. Every year, more than 3 thousand people suffer from the injection of its spikes in the world. True, the rivers usually prefer not to contact with a person, hiding when it appears. The poisonous spike is just a defensive weapon, which is used only in case of danger. Such a skat may consider attempts overly curious divers to get acquainted with him closer. That is how in 2006, the famous Australian TV presenter Steve Irwin, the famous crocodiles hunter. When the film "The Most Dangerous Ocean Inhabitants" near the big barrier reef presenter received from the scope of the injection right in the heart. Save Irwin failed.
