No comment on my 3 nominations,
the Tasmanian Devil, - info - The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) is a carnivorous marsupial of the family Dasyuridae now found in the wild only in the Australian island state of Tasmania. The size of a small dog, it became the largest carnivorous marsupial in the world following the extinction of the thylacine in 1936. It is characterised by its stocky and muscular build, black fur, pungent odour, extremely loud and disturbing screech, keen sense of smell, and ferocity when feeding. The Tasmanian devil's large head and neck allow it to generate the strongest bite per unit body mass of any living mammal, and it hunts prey and scavenges carrion as well as eating household products if humans are living nearby.



Great White Shark - info on - The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, also known as great white, white pointer, white shark, or white death, is a large lamniform shark found in coastal surface waters in all major oceans. The great white shark is very well known for its size, with the largest individuals known to have approached or exceeded 6 metres (20 ft) in length[3] and 2,268 kilograms (5,000 lb) in weight.[4] It reaches maturity at around 15 years of age and can have a life span of over 30 years.


and Sydney Funnel-web Spider - info on - Sydney funnel-webs are medium-to-large in size, with a body length ranging from 2 cm to 7 cm (0.9" to 3"). They are glossy and darkly coloured, ranging from blue-black to black to brown or dark-plum coloured. The carapace covering the cephalothorax is almost hairless and so appears smooth and glossy. The shorter lived males are smaller than females but longer legged.

Surprisingly The male of the species is the most dangerous of the Australian spiders. (This is unusual. Normally the female spiders are more dangerous).

Australian spiders will often bite without injecting venom. But if you get bitten by a large black spider in the Sydney area you should take the bite seriously.

 

[Sam Ovett]

I'll second the great white shark and the Inland Taipan

 

[brakespear]

Blue Ring Octopus...one of the most toxix sea creatures in the world.

Seconded if it hasn't been already as it was what I was going to nominate.

The Stonefish
Maybe Stonefish would never win a beauty contest, but it would definitely win the top prize for being “The World Most Venomous Fish”. Its venom causes such a severe pain that the victims of its sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the worst pain known to man. It is accompanied with possible shock, paralysis, and tissue death. If not given medical attention within a couple of hours It can be fatal to humans. Stonefish stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that are designed to hurt would-be predators. Stonefish mostly live above the tropic of Capricorn, often found in the shallow tropical marine waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans, ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great Barrier Reef.

Ugly Bastard. Check. Worst pain known to man. Check. Shallow water whilst disguised as a rock. Check.

this seconded too.

I would still go with the Honey Badger. They feature on "Deadly 60" on CBBC, they snack on venomous snakes and I have seen film of one seeing off a leopard (well a large fierce cat of some sort) that was considerably bigger than it was.

 

[000]

I give you the PORTUGUESE MAN O WAR:

If not seconded yet, seconded.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Seconded if it hasn't been already as it was what I was going to nominate.

That Shrimp that someone else just posted, got put in a tank with the Blue Ring Octopus, and the shrimp killed it.

It's on youtube..

 

[Northstander]

The Cassowary hunt in Packs and from the side, not face on!

Think of the T-rex and Raptors and you'll get an idea where this bad boy has descended from!
