I will have to disagree with that list. A Bumble Bee way out weighs most of those by a long shot, par the mosquito. So far this year 32 deaths in just the USA.

I am not sure what you are disagreeing with. It just lists some venomous fish and states that there are more venomous fish than snakes. It does'nt really address potentcy or lethality, except to say that most are not dangerous.

It has also been recently discovered that most lizards are technically venomous too (but not harmful to humans).

No, not that, on the link there is the Top 10 Deadliest Animals. Most or many are nonsense on that list.

 

[reefjitsu]

Oh, that. That list is pretty poor in terms of what actually kills people. It is really a top 10 list of the things that seem dangerous to the makers of the list. Creatures that scare the socks off them, as they put it.

the daddy long leg spider has a venom that will kill a human quickly, fortunately their bite cannot penetrate the first layer of our skin.

Never really thought of that... How did that start? How would one know a daddylonglegs has venom strong enough to kill a person if its fangs aren't long enough to bite human?
