This sea creatures has a body no bigger than a salad bowl but its tentacles can reach up to 15 feet long, and it can have up to 60 of them. Every tentacle contains enough toxin to kill around 50 adult humans. Over the last century, thousands of deaths have been attributed to this deadly animal. [Source]
There are a number of whale species that are giving conservationists cause for concern, but the most endangered is believed to be the Northern right whale (Eubalena Glacialis). The clue to its near extinction can be found in its name. In the early nineteenth century, when whales were commonly hunted to create whale oil, this species was believed to be the “right” type of whale to kill. [Source]
At an estimated population of 25,000, its numbers are far greater than many of the other species in this top 10. But only 20 years ago the population was around 5 times greater. This decline is attributed to illegal hunting and the problem with eggs being poached. There has also been a significant decline in its natural habitat, which is contributing to the issue. [Source]

Clark Little is an award-winning photographer from California. Clark discovered his ability and passion to capture the extraordinary beauty of the shore break when his wife asked him for a picture of the ocean to decorate a bedroom wall. With the confidence of an experienced surfer, Clark jumped in the ocean, and started snapping away, recording the beauty and power of Hawaiian waves. Clark’s view is a unique and often dangerous perspective of waves from the inside out, captured in photos for all to enjoy from the safety of dry land. [Source]
