The most venomous animal on Earth is the box jellyfish, specifically the Australian box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri). Although its venom is not the most potent, it is considered the deadliest due to its ability to cause extreme pain, paralysis, and death within minutes of being stung. Each jellyfish has enough venom to potentially kill 60 adults [1][3][6].

Another highly venomous contender is the inland taipan snake, which has venom that can kill up to 100 adult men in a single drop, working within approximately 45 minutes [1][3][4]. Both of these animals exemplify the dangers posed by venomous creatures in the animal kingdom.
