Das Paradies / Paradise [c. 1620]

Canada’s natural beauty is hard to beat. Take the glacial lakes of Banff, for instance. Banff is a gorgeous part of Alberta, Canada, nestled in the mountains and glacial lakes that makeup Banff National Park. They are world famous for their natural splendor, and the milky blue waters that feel too beautiful to be real. Vancouver-based photographer Kai Yan knows just how picturesque these vistas…

Deep Sea Diving with all the diving gear, through a rigorous and vigorous training has its invaluable dividends. Among  the fish, he is likely to see colorful objects. The Cone Snail.

Colorful Cone shells The snail underneath would be a boneless Snail, looking for its own food amid equally colorful fish. Remembering about electric eels in fresh water, training would have taught him to regard these with the respect due to a living organism,  but yet research and seek to satisfy his curiosity.

The cone snail is known for its beautiful shell and that is what attracts the collectors. On being picked up by its shell, the snail will stick its harpoon into the person. The kind of effect will depend on the snail’s poison as each one has its distinct fingerprint. The poison contains a neurotic element which can temporarily paralyze you. Severe respiratory problems will start developing and the body will ultimately shut down due to the nervous breakdown. It is advised that if you are stung by a cone snail, immediate CPR    Cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed or else risk dying. In extreme cases, full blood transfusions might be necessary to get the poison out of the system.

The cone snail, one of the most venomous animals on earth, releases a cloud of insulin when a fish swims by, causing it to go into hypoglycaemic shock, immobilizing it so it can inject the fish with a cocktail of up to 200 toxins.

Museums Victoria, Australia's largest Public Museum, holds about 8000 individual cone shells.   A team of scientists there spent months digitizing and re-organizing those shells. In life, all the cone snails used venom to hunt prey. Inside one particular shell was a kind of Cartridge containing the arsenal of neurotoxins so diabolically complex it may actually harbor secrets which prove hugely beneficial to human society.

So the most venomous animal on Earth is probably not a predator like a Rattle Snake or a Cobra, or even a Viper, that looks dangerously intimidating. Surprisingly its the Snail, also a synonym moving at the slowest of speeds.The kind that is in the Ocean, sporting a Shell so exquisite it is among the most desired of all sea shells. Its shell is conical, placing it among the 800 or so species of  marine predators which make up the Conidae family—known in plain English  as cone snails.

Conus geographus—aka, the Geography Cone—eats fish. Sometimes, entire schools of them.

Yes, one of the slowest of creatures catches one of the fastest, even  several at time. Not by chasing them down, but by immobilizing them. 

With chemical weapons.When its unsuspecting prey swims past, the Geography Cone releases a  cloud of insulin. It’s the same hormone used as a life-saving drug for  diabetics, just subverted.

The insulin cloud—called a ‘nirvana cabal’—enters  the fish’s blood stream through the gills. Instead of stabilising,  their blood sugars plummet and the fish enter hypoglycaemic shock.

Cone snails are the only animals in the world, other than humans,  that have been recorded to use insulin as a weapon. bunch of pretty shells, indeed ! 

The Geography Cone then sends out a false mouth which balloons like a  net and engulfs the stupefied fish. Selecting from up to 200 toxins,  the snail concocts a fatal potion which it injects into its prey with a  harpoon-like tooth.

Other cone snails launch these harpoons from a proboscis, shooting  fish at a distance and reeling them in before swallowing them whole.  Some submerge themselves in sand, lying in ambush. It is the incredibly varied nature of these chemicals which makes cone snails so appealing to biomedical research. Because, by peering into their lethal chemical arsenals, scientists can make life-saving breakthroughs as cone snail venom that can target specific pain receptors in humans without the addictive qualities. 

Creation is beautiful from a distance, in its natural habitation, natural endogenous spaces and privacy, without human interference, for we have already seen the effects of this when we interfered with Bats. 

The moment he sets his eyes on something, beautiful, he figures it out why its beautiful and seeks to find ways in which he can possess it, employing to his advantage. 

In his next follow up measure, which is used as a standard template he has set for himself, he examines the conditions for its growth and its, streamlines the channels that supplies the food for it, and extracts its venom, processing it for the updating present suppressant, grading it, distributing the lowest grade for the under-developed countries, then middle order quality to the developing countries, and keeping the creame for himself and his superior white race. He then converts it into Capsules or Tablet, or merely an injection. His claim of improving it to 1000 times will be capitalized likewise.

At some point in the future, fresh, blue and crystal clear water and unpolluted, non-toxic clean air, with absolute purity will be rarity with Powerful Rich Nations aspiring to take into control that Nation that has such massive sources of water, as the Powerful Nations go for Oil, now.

Thus it applies to all things living that the human animal finds it desirable for his never-ending needs.

After the extinction of the Cone Snails, it will be the Jellyfish.
