10 lovely animals you never thought they were poisonous

When you see movies about oceans, it surprises you the majestic beauty of corals. These are curious animals that are grouped within thousands of specimens in the sea. These beauties produced a poison that is considered very lethal.

As soon as you see this snail, you immediately want to touch it, but don't do it! It is an invertebrate carnivore snail and is between 10 and 15 centimeters with a powerful neurotoxin called conotoxin, capable of killing an adult male in a few minutes.

Nobody would imagine that these gentle animals have venom that can be fatal. It is the male platypus that has a spur on the back of his legs and although it is well known on how dangerous it can be to humans, it seems to have a harmful effect on other animals.

You may believe that this bird is not capable to kill the smallest fly. The Hooded Pitohui is a bird from New Guinea and one of the few species of poisonous birds in the world. On their skin and on its feathers, they have a poison known as batrachotoxin, the same that can be found in some species of frogs.
