Cone Snail

If you thought a snail could never be on this list, you couldn't have been more wrong. The Cone Snail, a native to the warm waters around Indonesia, Hawaii, and the Caribbean, this deceptively beautiful gastropod is known for its marbled brown and white shells. But dive deeper to touch it and it could be the last time you go swimming at any beach. Once threatened, these snails 'bite' using their concealed teeth which pumps a venom called conotoxin into the bloodstream. The worst part about it is that there is no antivenom for the bite and it could kill a human at the same time it takes to smoke a cigarette - hence the nickname "cigarette snail".

The world we live in is magnificent in every way possible - more so when it comes to the beautiful animals that call Earth their home. With millions of species found across the globe, there is no shortage of personalities when it comes to the animals on our planet. While we tend to gravitate towards the calmer, friendlier, and playful animals like dogs and cats, there are more than a handful of animals out there that will leave you quivering in fear. Here are 10 ferocious animals you don't want to come face to face with.
