Friday’s Fact

Did you know that one of the most venomous creatures in the world can easily rest in the palm of your hand or about the size of a golf ball? It is a creature that gives a warning by pulsing vibrant bluish rings over its body. But by the time you notice the iridescent flashing it can be too late because if the creatures razor sharp tooth has punctured your skin, usually without you even feeling it, it is goodbye to this world for you. You could be dead in minutes. You see that little tooth has a layer of saliva containing a toxin, toxin so lethal that the amount found in just one creature can kill 26 adult humans in minutes. There is no antidote. Any idea what this creature is? Check back next Friday to find out for sure.
