The great white shark, which can grow up to six metres in length and weigh up to five tons, seems to have the most ferocious reputation. But, while they have been known to attack humans, most of these incidents are thought to be 'test bites', where the animal is deciphering whether he wants to eat you. And, generally, they humans are not on the menu. It is thought the aggressive bull shark is responsible for the most attacks on people. Out of the 360 shark species out there in the world

Hippos Although they might look cumbersome and cute, hippos are actually one of the most feared animals in Africa, and can outrun a human. When a male feels its territory is threatened, or a female thinks her offspring her in danger, these animals can be particularly dangerous. And with huge teeth and mouth that can open four feet wide, it's a good idea to steer clear. Kills: An estimated 100-150 people a year.

Man is still the number one deadliest animal. killing reptiles, mosquitoes, cockroaches, earthworms, rats, wall gecko for the fun of it. n dogs, goats, antelopes, cows, birds, etc for consumption. Even different species of fish. As a date, man points to a fat live catfish and requests for it as pepper soup (point n kill). Man definitely bags the award! |
