20. Still, one alligator is better than...
The box jellyfish, funnel spider & the inland & coastal taipan snakes in Australia... it seems that Australia is the place where the world's most poisonous animals congregate.

The box jellyfish supposedly has killed more than sharks, stone fish & alligators combined.

Venom

You have virtually no chance of surviving the venomous sting, unless treated immediately. The pain is so excruciating and overwhelming that you would most likely go into shock and drown before reaching the shore. So don't go swimming alone! Be sure to know the first aid procedures.
