The Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the size of a golf ball, but its venom is so powerful that can kill a human. Actually it carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and there is no antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the world’s most venomous animals. Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly neurotoxins begin working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness, followed by a cessation and breathing and ultimately death. They can be found in tide pools in the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to Australia.
蓝环章鱼很小，只有一个高尔夫球那么大。但毒素却是致命的。事实上，它身上带有的毒素能在几分钟内杀死26个成年人，且没有解药。它们通常被认为是世界上最毒的动物。它们无痛的叮咬看起来没什么，可是毒素能瞬间起作用，导致肌肉无力，麻木，接着呼吸停止，最后死亡。能在日本到澳大利亚的太平洋区域的潮水里看到它们。
