Top 10 Deadliest Animals Around the World





Danger and especially dangerous creatures
fascinate us. We are constantly efforts to make
a better and safer life for ourselves, but the
world remains a dangerous place. As for wild
animals, what determines their danger level
might not necessarily be size. What we can
formulate with our human brain power? We may
think of some of these animals as friendly or
harmless, but sometimes even friendly seeming
species become dangerous. Here are the top 10
deadliest animals that could turn any human,
smart or dumb, into a tasty lunch or dinner.
Many more criteria are still out there. Feel free
to add other deadly creatures to the comments

Top 10 Deadliest Animals


10. Jellyfish


Affectionately known as the “sea wasp”. The
Jellyfish killing more then 100 per year provides
a good example of why these graceful, free-
floating marine creatures can also be some of
the world’s deadliest living organisms. They are
mostly found around the Australian coastline, and
are most commonly seen in the summer months.
Just like any animal, however, jellyfish take no
prisoners when they feel threatened. Box jellyfish
don’t even drift; they actively swim to hunt their
prey, and a nice human leg or arm can suffer
some serious collateral damage.


9. The Shark


The shark’s most incredible, virtually X-Men
ability is called electroreception. They have
organs in their heads called Ampullae of
Lorenzini. Every time any animal moves, it
generates a very slight electrical field, and
sharks can actually sense this electricity.

Thus a person treading water looks like lightning to a shark. A great white can detect half a billionth of
a single volt. If it is within 100 meters, it can
detect the voltage of your heartbeat. Averaging
15 feet long, with rows of up to 300 sharp
serrated teeth inside powerful 4-foot-wide jaws,
the great white shark is comfortably at the top
of the food chain. It eats a wide variety of
species and isn’t too picky, but humans are not
preferred, being leaner and bonier than its
favorite prey—the fattier seals and sea lions.




8. Hippopotamus


After the elephant and rhinoceros, the
hippopotamus is the third largest type of land
mammal and the heaviest extant artiodactyl.
They are usually found in Africa and are
responsible for more human fatalities on the
continent than any other large animal. Male and
female hippos tend to have different reasons for
attacking. A male hippo will defend its territory,
which runs along the bank of a river or lake,
whereas the female becomes aggressive in
defending her young. They killed more then 200
every year.


7. Lion


A full-grown male lion is about 6 inches taller
than a tiger and weighs anywhere from 330 to
550 lbs (150-250 kgs), averaging 400. Kings of
the jungle and one of nature’s most brilliant
predators, lions are fast, cunning and extremely
powerful, they have a sixth sense for hunting and
they aren’t very discriminating when it comes to
a red-meat dinner. Lions are found on the plains
of Africa, but are also held in captivity around
the world in zoos and reserves. Lions simply see
humans as slower, less-able free lunches, much
like gazelles or a zebras. These caused over 250
deaths per year.


6. Cape Buffalo


Also known as “black death” the Cape buffalo,
found in Africa, being one of the most dangerous
animals on land. Killing more then 500 per year,
one of Africa’s most dangerous beasts. It is
extremely aggressive and unpredictable. It can
weigh between 900 to 1800 pounds, and except
for some lone bulls, this bovine species is very
gregarious. Herd members are quick to defend
each other from lions, crocodiles, or hunters, by
ramming the predator with their sharp horns.
Sometimes a wounded bull will circle around to
ambush its hunter from behind.


5. Elephant



The elephant, the largest land mammal, lives in
Africa and some parts of Asia. Normally viewed
as friendly, caused over 600 deaths per year, can
also be the most dangerous to human health.
These lovable, circus-friendly icons can be found
in Africa and South Asia, and in a lot of cases,
can be found in urban areas where people use
their services for tourism, trade and
transportation. But, just like a frustrated
employee, these hard-working, usually docile
creatures never forget poor treatment or being
threatened, and that’s why they lash out. An
elephant’s legs, trunk, and weight can crush just
about anything, and one moment of anger can be
lethal.


4. Crocodile



Killing up to 2,000 of people a year, it takes is a
good look at one of these prehistoric beasts to
realize just how deadly they can be. Crocodiles
can be found in the southern U.S., the Tropics,
Africa, Asia, and Australia, and love the taste of
human flesh just as much as that of any other
unsuspecting animal it sees. The saltwater and
Nile crocodiles are the most dangerous. It eats a
wide variety of animals, living and dead. Its eyes,
ears, and nostrils are located high on the head,
which allows a crocodile to see and hear its
prey. It ranges from 5 to 20 feet long.


3. Scorpion


Caused up to 5,000 deaths per year, Scorpions
are predatory arthropod animals of the order
Scorpiones within the class Arachnida. Found
widely distributed over all continents, except
Antarctica, in a variety of terrestrial habitats
except the high latitude tundra, these eight-
legged arthropods can pack a powerful punch.

They are a resilient, non-parasitic killer that
actually have the ability to distribute doses of
venom based on the type of prey. Buthids, in
particular, are the most deadly scorpions and are
generally found in Africa, though deadly
scorpions have been known to survive and thrive
in bone-chilling environments, such as the Andes
and the Himalayas.



2. Snake


Living snakes are found on almost every
continent. Many species of snakes are
dangerous to humans . More than 450 species
are venomous, and 250 are capable of killing a
person. Most venomous bites occur in Africa,
Asia, and North America. These cold-blooded
reptiles are also cold-blooded killers, and it
always seems the further you get away from
home, the deadlier they get.

The toxicity of some snakes are incredibly severe. These things tend to kill humans for one simple reason: they feel provoked. Plain and simple: It’s their natural defense mechanism to lash out with razor-sharp teeth and sink venom into your skin.
These caused 100,000-plus deaths per year.


1. Mosquitoes – Most Deadliest Animal


Mosquitoes make number one on the list of
deadliest animal in world. This small blood-
sucking insect kills 2 million to 3 million people
each year worldwide. They are a family of small,
midge-like flies: the Culicidae. Although a few
species are harmless or even useful to humanity,
most are a nuisance because they consume
blood from living vertebrates, including humans.
The females of many species of mosquitoes are
blood eating pests. It can spread diseases, most
notably malaria. It can also spread elephantiasis,
yellow fever, Dengue fever and West Nile virus
. Mosquitoes are found in abundance in tropical
areas and can also survive the winter in
countries with lower temperatures such as
Canada. There are over 3,000 types of
mosquitoes and all have the ability to transfer
population-killing diseases.
