00:00What's the most dangerous creature in the ocean?
00:03A shark?
00:04A jellyfish?
00:06What if I told you it was a snail?
00:10Yeah, you heard me right.
00:13Meet the cone snail, the ocean's sneakiest assassin.
00:17It looks like a beautiful harmless shell you'd find on the beach.
00:21But don't let its looks fool you.
00:24This isn't your garden variety snail.
00:27This one hunts fish.
00:30When an unsuspecting fish swims by, the cone snail fires a venomous, harpoon-like tooth at lightning speed.
00:39This isn't just a little sting.
00:42The venom is a complex cocktail of toxins that paralyzes the fish almost instantly.
00:48Before the fish even knows what hit it, the snail reels in its catch and swallows it whole.
00:55So next time you see a pretty shell, maybe think twice before picking it up.
