FRAZIES-animals

Animals are one of the best gifts of our world. They are sometimes really odd and unique in their own little way and sometimes very deadly to. I’m here to talk about some of the most unique animals there are out there today. Some are very deadly and some wouldn’t hurt a fly but the only reason why most animals are dangerous is because it’s their nature when they feel threatened. Today I am going to talk about just a few really amazing animals there are out there in the world.

            First, I am going to talk about the box jellyfish. Also known as the wasp jellyfish, this salad-bowl sized jellyfish can have up to 60 tentacles as long as 15 feet. Each tentacle has enough toxins to kill 50 humans. They are found in Australia, the Philippines, and many other tropical areas. Since 1884 at least 5,567 deaths have been attributed to these creatures. This puts it as one of the most deadly animals in the world; I think it is absolutely crazy that one of its tentacles can kill up to fifty human beings. Though most people will not ever see this animal up close to get stung because it lives in the deep ocean. Why are jellyfish like a clear-ish color? I wonder that myself well jellyfish are ninety-five percent water and that’s why they have a transparent look to them. Although some jellyfish are dangerous they only live up to one year and therefore they must reproduce very quickly. Due to malaria carrying parasites transferred by the mosquito, it is responsible for the deaths of more than two million people per year. In addition, Mosquitos are estimated to transfer diseases to more than 70 million people per year. Even in countries such as the UK, New Zealand, and Japan, where the more temperate climate has reduced mosquito bites to mostly an annoyance, they still cause some deaths every year. I know this may be hard to believe but the mosquito is by long one of the deadliest living things on Earth because the fact they carry diseases and there so many of them. As for the mosquito it is very very annoying most people would agree lol. This shark is an exceptionally large shark found in coastal waters in all major oceans. It can reach lengths of up to 6 metres and can weigh up to 5 tons. The Great White Shark is the worlds largest known predatory fish. It is the only surviving species of its genus. In general these creatures do not attack humans, and (while there have been some fatalities) the majority of attacks on humans are believed to be test bites – the Great White Shark are known to test bite other objects in order to determine what they are. More people are killed each year in the US by dogs than Great White Sharks in the last 100 years. Most people fear the great white shark but it almost never even kills anyone unless it has a real urge to.
