Seconded. Absolute lunatics.
About time the Cassowary made it into the latter stages of this - always a bit of a lively outsider (literally).

Blue Krait for me.
The Malayan or Blue Krait is, by far, the most deadly of this species. Found throughout South East Asia and Indonesia, 50% of bites from the deadly Blue Krait are fatal, even with the administration of antivenom. Kraits hunt and kill other snakes, even cannibalizing other Kraits. They are a nocturnal breed, and are more aggressive under the cover of darkness. However, overall they are quite timid and will often attempt to hide rather than fight. The venom is a neurotoxin, 16 times more potent than that of a Cobra. It quickly induces muscle paralysis by preventing the ability of nerve endings to properly release the chemical that sends the message to the next nerve. This is followed by a period of massive over excitation (cramps, tremors, spasms), which finally tails off to paralysis. Before the development of antivenin, the fatality rate was a whopping 85%. Even if antivenin is administered in time, you are far from assured survival. Death usually occurs within 6-12 hours of a Krait bite.

On a Cassowary related note, has anyone played Far Cry 3? The island setting is home to many Cassowary who will attack your player character at any given opportunity

I vote 2 on
a) The Blue Ringed Octopus (about the size of golf ball) -deadly venom and no known antidote.
Most bites cause minimal pain for the first 5-10 minutes then begin to throb and may get numb and involve the rest of the arm (or extremity) bitten.
Bleeding may be excessive. Numbness, nausea, vomiting, changes in vision, and difficulty swallowing follow on.
After approximately 10 minutes, the victim may have difficulty breathing, become paralyzed, and require artificial ventilation until they can be transported to a hospital. This is often preceded by numbness or loss of feeling around the lips and mouth. If medical care is not provided emergently, respiratory failure may occur, which may lead in cardiac arrest, and death.
b) Japanese Giant Hornet - enough said

African Elephant
The world’s largest land animal, elephants can be fiercely aggressive and have been known to trample even a rhinoceros or two to death. They seemingly have the capacity to display bouts of rage and have even engaged in activities that have been interpreted as vindictive, razing entire villages in the process.

Human surely but if we need a tag team partner I'd probably go Honey Badger. Will have to give this some thought and try to come up with an origional idea

The Wolverine (Gulo gulo)
It's basically like the Honey Badger, but with bigger teeth, a cooler name and much less ugly.

You would not want to face off against this double-hard bastard. Pure filthy black muscle.

Poison dart frog.
Small but packs a punch. Carries potent toxins enough to kill 20 men.

What about that Frog that spunks all of its babies out of its own back?
Attenborough knows what I'm on about. It's f***ing disgusting and not at all dangerous, but fair play to the bastard. NAILS
I haven't actually watched the video I am about to post, as it makes me feel physically sick.
