It is really hard to tell which animal is the most poisonous in the world. The one that has the most toxic chemicals? The one that kills the biggest amount of people a year? Or maybe the one with the biggest amount of poison? First of all, I have to admit that the title is a bit incorrect, because there is a difference between poisonous and venomous animals. A poisonous animal carries harmful chemicals called toxins primarily used for self defense. Therefore venomous animals deliver their toxins by stinging, stabbing, or biting. So poisonous animals are passive killers, while venomous animals are active killers. Nevertheless, theory aside, they are all really dangerous. So look really closely at each photo, cause next time you meet them can be the last 、you ever see. 最毒的动物？该怎么划分：是身上具有最毒的化学物质，一年之内杀死最多的人，含有毒素最多的？首先，我不得不承认，这有点弊端，毕竟，"毒”的种类还是很多的。通常带毒素的动物会把它视为一种防御工具。可以是叮、咬、蜇。所以，这些动物可以是被动的，也可以是主动的。但从科学的角度，它们是危险的。请仔细看好了，或许你下次看见它们的时候会是你最后一次！
10 Puffer Fish
10 河豚
Puffer Fish are the second most poisonous vertebrate on earth (the first one is golden dart Frog). The meat of some species is a delicacy in both Japan (as fugu) and Korea (as bok-uh) but the problem is that the skin and certain organs of many puffer fish are very poisonous to humans. This puffy fish produce rapid and violent death..Puffer’s poisoning causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims die from suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed. Most of the victims die after four to 24 hours. There is no known antidote, Most deaths from fugu happen when untrained people catch and prepare the fish. Statistics show that there were 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning per year between 1996 and 2006 in all of Japan and up to six incidents per year led to death. Since Fugu’s poison can cause near instantaneous death, only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare it.
河豚可算是地球上第二毒的动物（排在第一位的是金镖蛙）。大家都知道，在日本（读作fugu),韩国（bok-uh)都有吃河豚肉的习惯，但是它的表皮和器官是对人有毒的，会引起快速猛烈的窒息。一旦中毒，会口唇发白，晕眩，呕吐，心跳加速，呼吸困难，痉挛，中毒者最后会因肌肉横膈膜窒息而死。通常会在24小时内死亡。到现在都没有解药。大多数受害者都是在不知情的情况下中毒的。研究表明，在1996到2006，日本每年因河豚而死的人数从44例中20例上身到26例。因为中毒的即发性，只有有执照的主厨才能对河豚进行烹饪。
9 Poison Dart Frog
9 毒镖蛙
If you ever happen to be running through the rain forests somewhere in Central or South America, do not ever pick up beautiful and colorful frogs –it can be the Poison Dart Frog. This frog is probably the most poisonous animal on earth.The 2 inch long (5cm) golden poison dart frog has enough venom to kill 10 adult humans or 20,000 mice. Only 2 micrograms of this lethal toxin (the amount that fits on the head of a pin) is capable of killing a human or other large mammal. They are called “dart frogs” because indigenous Amerindians’ use of their toxic secretions to poison the tips of their blow-darts. Poison dart frogs keep their poison in their skins and will sicken or kill anybody who touches or eats it.
你是否曾在美洲中部或是南美洲的热带雨林奔跑的时候随手抓住一只色彩斑斓漂亮的青蛙——那可能是毒镖蛙，它可能是陆地上最毒的青蛙了。这种身长仅2英尺（5里面）的金镖蛙所含有的毒素足以杀死10个成年人，20000只老鼠。只要2毫克（相当于大头针顶部的重量）就能将一个成人或是一大堆的动物致死。之所以称为“镖蛙”是因为当地的印第安人会用它们的毒素来制造“毒箭”。毒镖蛙的毒素藏匿在它们的皮肤里面，一旦你触碰会是吃了毒镖蛙，可是没得“下次小心”哦！
