What would be the worst animals to be killed by?

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Is the pain from venom really worse than the pain from a shark bite? Being slowly eaten by a bear or lion while still being conscious just seems so much worse but I speak of zero experience in both cases though.  Just the pain when a shark chews on your leg must be excruciating.

I'm well aware of the difference between Venom and Poison too. Venom was thrash metal, while Poison was hair metal.

But both equally shit.

What about being mauled by a Steel Panther?

Or suffering horrid abuse from a relative.....like your Twisted Sister.

Yea, but I think your body goes into shock because a shark bite causes you to loose so much blood.  I'd imagine the pain is brutal but not as long term as a 8 hour slow death from a snake bite.  Granted, I've had neither happen to me so just how I would imagine it.

Never been bit by a shark but I've had hemotoxic Rattlesnake venom coursing the my veins and I can tell you it doesn't feel good. It's digesting your body from the inside out.....heat up a wire clothes hanger to red hot and then just continually touch your skin over and over, it's a shooting sensation along with the feeling like your going to pop from the pressure.

So many days drift by
There's too many ways to slowly die
How many shadows fade across the wall?

Panda. I can't imagine anyone telling the story of my tragic death without laughing at me if that happens.

I was going to say this but about a mouse.  Same exact reason.

This is a bit on a non-sequitur but I heard that you would pass out in 45 minutes if you were buried alive in a coffin six feet down as you'd run out of air.

So you wouldn't be down there conscious for days or hours. PLUS i'd imagine the panic would significantly shorten that 45 mins.

So yes it would be awful for a short time but that would be it.

[bosk1]

Sweet.  So if that ever happens to me, I'll just be like, "I'll just hum all of Six Degrees, and when I'm done it'll be almost over!"  Plus, that'd be a pretty metal way to go out, so bonus.

It is just me or does it seem like most of the worst and deadliest animals are always in Africa or South America?

IDK.....Australia has a pretty good group of deadly animals there. Mostly reptile but ones that'll kill you in many different ways and time.

Box jellyfish, a class that includes 50 described species, have tentacles covered in tiny biological booby traps known as cnidocysts. Each cnidocyst contains a tiny dart and a load of poison that cause “the most explosive envenomation process that is presently known to humans,” according to a 1988 paper in The Medical Journal of Australia.

Consider Chironex fleckeri, a basketball-size box jelly found in the Indo-Pacific that dangles dozens of 6-foot-long, ribbonlike tentacles. Its nickname is Sea Wasp, and if one of these tentacles so much as brushes against your body, you may die before you reach the beach.

Still, a quick death might be preferable to what’s in store after a sting by other box jelly species, including the thimble-size Carukia barnesi.

In addition to severe headaches, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, and pulmonary edema, you may experience anxiety so powerful that some victims, convinced of their own doom, have reportedly begged their doctors to kill them and get it over with.

Scientists aren’t certain why some species of box jellyfish seem to produce more complicated and dangerous clinical syndromes than others. One explanation is that the venom of the dreaded Chironex is injected more deeply than, say, Hawaii’s Alatina.

I bet Native Americans would beg to differ.

I actually thought Australia was officially the home of the deadliest animals.  Such as Blob.

I say the spider that bites you and gives an incredibly painful erection which you have until you die.

Mice are known to carry the hantavirus sometimes, so it's technically possible to die of a mousebite.

I'm imagining that the shark pulling one under does something too. Maybe you don't drown first, but the lose of breath while being devoured and/or bleeding out must suck. It's the only animal I can think of that may drown you, and slowly drowning would suck. A whale could do it too, so maybe they would be worse to die by.

Not an animal, but by FAR my biggest fear.  The thought of being buried alive is horrific.  The scene in Interview with a vampire when they're bricking up Louie in the wall..**shudder**  I would instantly go insane.

As far as animals....Probably anything venomous and slow.  Fast animal kill?  Can I do an extinct animal?  What I've read about veliciraptors and the way they think they would leap and use that big ass claw to open your abdomen and spill your guts out...doesn't sound fun.

This wouldn't be fun either - Deadly infection after Rape Candiru

That would be the Brazilian Wandering Spider. They are the most venomous arachnid in the world and also extremely aggressive. I would love to see one in person but I would hate to be bit by it.

Another animal that hasn't been mentioned yet is the stonefish. Their venom is a defense mechanism and it comes from spikes on top of their backs. The pain from the sting has been described as similar to being dipped in boiling lead. Victims have begged doctors to amputate their leg because they literally would rather be crippled than be in that much pain. I can imagine that not getting treated and dying from that would be the absolute worst way to go.
