Having enough venom to kill a human, the 'blue-ringed' is what type of sea creature?
Correct answer: Octopus
Centenarian
Gotta love Australia...blue ringed octopus, box jellyfish and cone fish. All killers!

Docile nature. So just leave it alone.

Interesting. For some reason, I am fascinated by Octopus

Top 5: Global Trivia, Don't forget our snakes and spiders.

Octopodi (or octopuses if you prefer – it comes from the Greek octo = eight & pus = foot; the plural is podes, but octopodi is now considered arcane, mainly because most people used octopi or octopuses, although, to be pedantic, it is the correct plural) are highly intelligent and curious creatures. I've heard numerous takes of them shyly investigating submersibles and engaging in play with the occupants. I find them fascinating because they're so alien.

They don't make the venom by their self. Little bacteria make the venom and the octopus uses it.

Tetrodotoxin is also found in pufferfish.

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to try to touch sea creatures anyway....

LiLi, few dangerous creatures in the metropolitan areas where most Aussies live. Watch for spiders but poisonous ones generally easily identified.

Centenarian, not to forget crocodiles, sharks, snakes and spiders. God created Paradise on earth, then took a nap and didnt see the Devil fill it with nasty surprises.

LiLi, While there are poisonous creatures here in Oz, you rarely come into contact with them - most of them see us first and scarper! I've been living here for over 40 years and have only heard of a handful of deaths due to venomous creatures.

Saint Nine, definitely octopudis

Player #25874027, what's to kid about?
The people are far more dangerous than the wildlife...
never seen a snake, spider, shark, octopus or jellyfish drive a car drunk or sober.
Player #27643412
Centenarian, you forget about the snakes, spiders & sharks, we've gotta a huge amount of scary creatures..

Good rule of thumb...don't touch anything unless you are absolutely sure it's safe!
Player Raving Lu
Player Elf Council, That is what I was thinking when I replied to Centenarian.
Player Raving Lu
Centenarian, Not to mention the many venomous and dangerous land animals indigenous to Australia.
Player #19052892

Stormsurge66, great band! I think they used to wheel out an aquarium on stage with an octopus who could play a theramin that they put next to its tank
Player #18909295

I live in the very landlocked state of New Mexico. but for some reason, I have been terrified of octopi since I was a little girl.
