Blue-ringed octopusThe tiny, blue-ringed octopus can pack a wallop. It is widely regarded as one of the world's most venomous animals. It lives in tidal regions ranging from Australia to Japan and is frequently encountered by people wading in tide pools. If provoked or stepped on, it will bite. Blue-ringed octopus poison has no antivenom and can kill an adult human within minutes.

x]
Too bad it kills yah.
I thought this was for the cute animals. That Gila moster is not cute!!!
Maybe some people think that they are cute, but hey, I ain't one of them! Same goes for people who keep snakes for pets, i meen it would be cool if one of your friends came over and you pulled out this 8 foot long boa. and if you have the kinda friend i do they would leep right out of there skin!
Mind me...but, umm, what's a finger doing in the picture?
Yeah what's a finger doing in a picture with one of the world's most venomous animal with no anti-venom ?
There are so many animals in the ocean that live near shore that can kill or injure you severely, especially in the reef areas, that it's ridiculous. It's like you have to wear armor while swimming just to make sure you can't be stung, bitten, eaten, or impaled by anything.
I love the ocean, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I like to just relax and not have watch where I'm stepping all of the time.
UUuUuu squiishy octopus *pokes pokes*
weeee~:D
Yet one more reason that I'M glad that I don't live in Australia
Lmao! It's so not cute though... haha! But i like it that it's on the list though. hahaha
Enter your comments heremost that are in captivity can be trained anyways so this person putting a finger on it is got to be either trained or it is dead
Enter your comments hereTrained Octipus?........flip - now I've heard it all! How dumb must you be to even think that?
'easy does it!' That is how you can even touch a snake, if you really wanna be silly...... but trained...... Eish!!
thats not really in the "cute" category is it?
It's probably not alive and they're touching it to show a comparison of how small it is
Does anyone else think that poking the worlds most venomous animals is a good idea? haha "if provoked or stepped on, it will bite." Ok.. i'm gonna poke it, you take a picture.
Some of these animals aren't even cute
Psh, I think octopi are cute! They're my favorite. <33
And, when I was a junior in high school, I was on an ocean bowl competition team, and we were the Blue-Ringed Octopi.
A lot of you are complaining and what such about this article just stop critisizing !! And if you think some of these animals then please do us all a favor.... dont look in the mirror.
y would u touch it....If its poisonous
The blue-ringed octopus is probably dead thats why he/she is touching it.....lol
they all look freaky to me
dont' be STUP1D like me and touch it. way to send a message.
That little octopus is cute. I don't know why whoever is touching the octopus is touching the octopus, but whatever. Cutie :)
wow, this article proves that cuteness is definitely an issue of personal taste. MOST of these animals were not cute. Since when does someone consider an octopus 'cute?' Lol
I think the most amusing thing about this article are the peoples comments on the various pictures. Seriously, are they on something or do they all just have horrid grammar?
Exactly my question, erwin! There's no antivenom so let's touch the creature that's not cute!
You got a problem with cuteness with a lot of species here. U should have ur eyes checked writer, hhmmm or maybe it's ur brain's fault.
The most poisonous thing we have here is Martha Stewart...and she's pretty cute!
hahah.. i should say, hahah!!
i think you've got a poison too, dude!!
tiny little slimey ball of glowing squish c= sho toot!
Then why is he touching that octupus
i see only like want to kill me.isnt octopus.
thanx God its not there where i live
What about Leprechauns? They are cute and will kill you if you steal their gold.
ok the octopus glows it's small green and blue, steve irwin died from being stabbed in the heart by a mantis tail and pulling it out touching it won't kill you provoking (stepping on or otherwise pissing it off) will make it bite you.
Steve was killed by a Sting Ray, not a mantis.... And they sting, not bite.
I study marine biology and I think the little guy is awesome. Marine life fascinates me and I think he would be cool to have in a fish tank.
I'll put your dumba$$ in a human tank. i study humanfreak outs. oh and ..u ur face!
Ha! somdude just totaly burned some of you.....I think. right? Hey, some one should make that lil guy into a bubbler or a bong.(and a hot plate!)
That spotted, squishy, poisonous and fungusy-looking thing is soooooooooooo cute...LOL
