Read the text about three very dangerous animals.

Black Mamba is a snake that inhabits savannas and rocky areas in several parts of Africa. It isn't as poisonous as its close relatives, but it has another advantage that makes it especially dangerous for those who meet it: Black Mamba's speed. This snake can move extremely fast, up to 20.1 kilometres per hour, which makes it practically impossible to avoid its attack. Fortunately, this species will only want to bite you if you frighten it. Unfortunately, if you make it scared, it'll bite you with the amount of toxins allowing to kill up to ten people.

Mosquitoes are tiny insects who are very common for any region of our planet (except for, probably, Antarctica). Nevertheless, they are considered to be the second most dangerous insects in the world. They are not poisonous themselves but may carry numerous diseases to people, including malaria, dengue, and other viruses. Thus, these creatures cause up to 1 million death cases per year. There are no practical ways of protection from them, so the general recommendation is to use insect repellents and avoid areas rich in mosquitoes if possible.

Box Jellyfish are known to be the most toxic marine creatures in the whole world. They can be found in the waters by the northern coast of Australia. They are transparent (almost invisible), and have up to fifteen tentacles around their body, which can grow up to ten metres long. These tentacles are covered with special stinging cells that contain deadly poison. Hundreds of fatal cases are reported annually, as most of the victims die before getting back to the beach. The lucky survivors keep large scars as a reminder of a horrible experience.
