Estimates about how many species of animals are found in the world vary between 20 and 100 million. Besides our cat and dog friends, there are many animals that are not friends and even need to be kept away. We have compiled The World’s Top 8 Most Dangerous Animals for you.

The Golden Dart Frog
Found only in the dense rain forests of western Colombia, the golden dart frog secretes enough glistening poison from its skin to kill 10 to 20 humans—so imagine the results when this tiny amphibian is gobbled up by a small, furry, unsuspecting mammal.

Brazilian Wandering Spider
If you happen to be an arachnophobe, This creepy-crawly lives in tropical South America, doesn't necessarily deliver a full dose of venom when it bites, and rarely attacks humans; even better, an effective antivenom .That the Brazilian wandering spider secretes a potent neurotoxin that slowly paralyzes and strangulates its victims even in microscopic doses.

The Inland Taipan
It's a good thing the inland taipan has such a gentle disposition: the venom of this Australian snake is the most powerful in the reptile kingdom, a single bite containing enough chemicals to kill a hundred full-grown humans. The inland taipan rarely comes into contact with human beings.

The Stonefish
Synanceia is a genus of fish of the family Synanceiidae, the stonefish, whose members are venomous, dangerous, and even fatal to humans. They are the most venomous fish known. They are found in the coastal regions of the Indo-Pacific.

Maricopa Harvester
The Maricopa harvester ant is an order of magnitude more dangerous: you'd need to sustain only about 300 bites from this Arizonan pest to pay a premature visit to the pearly gates, which is well within the realm of possibility for unwary tourists.

Sea Wasp
Box jellyfish are by far the most dangerous invertebrates in the world, and the sea wasp.Most humans who come in contact with sea wasps merely experience excruciating pain, but a close encounter with a large specimen can result in death in under five minutes.

The Platypus
Granted, death by platypus is a very rare phenomenon.The fact is, though, that there are vanishingly few venomous mammals, and the platypus makes this list thanks to the poison-laden spurs males use to battle each other during mating season.

The Blue-Ringed
If the phrase "silent but deadly" applies to any animal, it's the blue-ringed octopus of the Indian and Pacific oceans. This modestly sized cephalopod delivers an almost painless bite when agitated, the venom of which can paralyze and kill an adult human in only a few minutes.
