📖 Read about me
The blue-ringed octopus is one of the most venomous animals in the ocean. Its tetrodotoxin is about 1,000 times stronger than cyanide, it carries enough to kill 26 adults in minutes, and there is no antivenom. Its bite is nearly painless, so victims often don't notice until the paralysis sets in, and it flashes around 60 glowing blue rings as a final warning right before it strikes.
