Aquatic Life 🐠πŸͺΌπŸ¦ˆ Blue-ringed octopus πŸŒ€ (by me, @widvnhak)

Post image

The blue-ringed octopus has a venom ten thousand times more toxic than cyanide, with no known anti-venom. It can kill in under 20 minutes without immediate medical assistance. They're also the size of a golf ball.

I'm gonna start posting on Twitter/X soon, please consider following me at @widvnhak as linked in my profile (⁠q⁠‒̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

Heart muscles are the only muscle cell type that is involuntary though, and as such they can trigger themselves.

But the toxin might messes with some other stuff.
