MJBOLT:

I was expecting spiders to be on this list, where is the stone fish and the box jelly fish should have been in the top 3... Op I'm not an animal

then what are you??

1. HUMANS.

Surprised? After all, we’re animals too, and since we’ve been killing each other for 10,000 years, with the total deaths from war alone estimated over a decade ago at between 150 million and 1 billion , it’s a no-brainer that we top the list.

Though human beings are said to be living in the most peaceful period now than at any other time in our history, we still assault each other with incredibly high rates of senseless brutality, from gun violence in cities like Chicago and Orlando to continual terrorist attacks around the globe.

We're dangerous to other animals, too—think global warming and the destruction of forests and coral reefs.

Given the threat we pose to countless other creatures—and the fact that we often act irrationally and have the capacity to annihilate our entire planet with a host of horrifying weapons like nuclear devices and genetically-modified superbugs—we are squarely atop the list as the most dangerous animal in the world.

2. MOSQUITOES.

Clocking in at just three millimeters at their smallest, the common mosquito, even tinier than the tsetse fly, ranks as the second most dangerous on our list due to the sheer amount of deaths each year attributed to the various pathogens carried by several of the more than 3,000 species around the world.

Found in every region on the planet except Antarctica, the irritating insects—primarily those from the genera Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex—are the primary vectors of diseases such as malaria, chikungunya, encephalitis, elephantiasis, yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus , which collectively afflict an estimated 700 million and kill roughly 725,000 people each year.

As the World Health Organization notes, more than half of the human population is currently at risk from mosquito-borne diseases. Given that the pests are attracted to our body temperatures and the CO2 we exhale, our best tools to prevent infection lie in the usage of insect repellents high in active ingredients like DEET and picaridin.

3. TSETSE FLY.

Often regarded as the world’s most dangerous fly, the tsetse fly—a small speck of insect that measures between 8 to 17 mm, or about the same size as the average house fly—is commonly found in 36 sub-Saharan countries, especially those in the center of the continent including the Sudans, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola. While the flies themselves are nasty bloodsucking bugs that usually feed during the peak warm hours, their true terror lies in the protozoan parasites they spread known as Trypanosomes.

These microscopic pathogens are the causative agent of African Sleeping Sickness , a disease marked by neurological and meningo-encephalic symptoms including behavioral changes, poor coordination, as well as the disturbances in sleeping cycles that give the illness its name, and can cause death if left untreated .

While there are no vaccines or medications available to prevent infection, methods of protection include wearing neutral-colored clothing (the tsetse fly is attracted to bright and dark colors, especially the color blue), avoiding bushes during the day, and using permethrin-treated gear in more remote areas.

4. SALTWATER CROCODILES.

Alligators may be scary, but they have nothing on their cousin, the fearsome crocodile, which is more short-tempered, easily provoked, and
aggressive towards anything that crosses its path.

Of all the species in the world, the largest—and most dangerous—is the saltwater crocodile , which inhabits the Indo-Pacific region ranging from parts of India and Vietnam in Southeast Asia all the way to northern Australia.

These ferocious killers can grow up to 23 feet in length and weigh more than a ton, and are known to kill hundreds each year, with crocodiles as a whole responsible for more human fatalities annually than sharks.

Saltwater crocodiles are especially dangerous as they’re excellent swimmers happy in either salt or freshwater (yes, their name is confusing), and can strike quickly with a bite delivering 3,700 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure , rivaling that of the T. Rex.

If that’s not enough to scare you, put it in perspective: humans chomp into a well-done steak at around 200 psi, a mere five percent of the strength of a saltie's jaw.

5. BLACK MAMBA.

Though species like the Boomslang or the King Cobra are dangerous thanks to their respective poisons, the Black Mamba is especially deadly due to its speed.

Found in the savannas and rocky areas of southern and eastern Africa, the species, which can grow up to 14 feet long, is the fastest of all snakes, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 mph, which makes escaping one in remote areas that much more difficult.

Thankfully, black mambas usually only strike when threatened—but when they do, they’ll bite repeatedly, delivering enough venom (a blend of neuro- and cardiotoxins) in a single bite to kill ten people.

And if one doesn’t receive the correlative antivenin within 20 minutes, the bites are almost 100 percent fatal.

6. PUFFER FISH.

Puffer fish , also known as blowfish, are located in tropical seas around the globe, especially around Japan, China, and the Philippines.

Though they’re the second most poisonous vertebrate on the planet (after the golden arrow dart frog), they’re arguably more dangerous as their neurotoxin, called tetrodoxin, is found in the fish’s skin, muscle tissue, liver, kidneys, and gonads, all of which must be avoided…when preparing the creature for human consumption.

Indeed, while wild encounters are certainly dangerous, the risk of death from a puffer fish increases when eating it in countries like Japan, where it is considered a delicacy known as fugu and can only be prepared by trained, licensed chefs—even then, accidental deaths from ingestion occur several times each year.

The tetrodoxin is up to 1,200 times more poisonous than that of cyanide, and can cause deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, arrhythmia, difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis and, if left untreated, death.

7. BOX JELLYFISH.

Often found floating (or moving at speeds close to 5 mph) in the Indo-Pacific waters north of Australia , these transparent, nearly invisible invertebrates are considered by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as the most venomous marine animal in the world.

Their namesake cubic frames contain up to 15 tentacles at the corners, with each growing as much as 10 feet long, all lined with thousands of stinging cells—known as nematocytes—that contain toxins that simultaneously attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells.

While antivenins do exist, the venom is so potent and overwhelming that many human victims, of the hundreds of reported fatal encounters each year, have been known to go into shock and drown or die of heart failure before reaching shore.

Even if you are lucky enough to make it to the hospital and receive the antidote, survivors can sometimes experience considerable pain for weeks afterward, while bearing nasty scars from the creature’s tentacles.

8. GOLDEN POISON DART FROG.

The poison dart is a large, diverse group of brightly colored frogs that live mostly in northern South America, of which only a handful of species are particularly dangerous to humans.

The most deadly, the golden poison dart , inhabits the small range of rain forests along Colombia’s Pacific coast, and grows to around two inches long (roughly the size of a paper clip).

Its poison, called batrachotoxin, is so potent that there’s enough in one frog to kill ten grown men, with only two micrograms—roughly the amount that would fit onto the head of a pin—needed to kill a single individual. But what makes the amphibian especially dangerous is that its poison glands are located beneath its skin, meaning a mere touch will cause trouble.

Interestingly, the indigenous Emberá people have laced the tips of their blow darts used for hunting with the frog’s toxin for centuries.

Sadly, deforestation has landed the frog on several endangered lists, but even if you do have a rare sighting when hiking , don’t go reaching for it.

9. CONE SNAIL.

Found in the warm waters near and around the equator (think the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Indonesia), these beautiful creatures, instantly recognizable for their highly prized brown-and-white marbled shells, can be seen in shallow depths closer to shore, near coral reefs and rock formations, and beneath sandy shoals.

But do not dare to touch the 4 to 6-inch long gastropods: their concealed, harpoon-like “teeth” contain a complex venom known as a conotoxin, making them one of the most venomous species of snails.

If you suffer the unlucky fate of becoming one of the handful of people ever stung, head to the emergency room immediately, as there is no antivenin.

The toxin, which stops nerve cells from communicating with one another, can not only cause paralysis within moments, but—per its nickname of “cigarette snail”—you have about enough time to smoke a stick before dying.

10. CAPE BUFFALO.

Cape Buffalo, which number close to a million and are concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa, are a relatively mild species when left alone, preferring to travel in massive herds to graze in early morning and late afternoon hours or to gather around watering holes to stay hydrated.

However, if an individual (or its calf) is threatened or wounded, they become the incarnation of their nickname: Black Death.

Responsible for killing more hunters in the continent than any other creature, these behemoths, which can grow up to six feet tall and weigh close to a ton, circle and stalk their prey before charging at speeds of up to 35 mph.

They’re even known to continue charging no matter where they’re injured, and will not hesitate to attack moving vehicles. You don’t want to mess with those horns.

None wey man go fit eat dey here, abeg post giant turkey

what of that bat??

10. GOBLIN SHARK.

This terrifying sea creature is rare and poorly understood by scientists, and as it family lineage goes back 125 million years, it’s known as a “living fossil.”
Goblin sharks live at ocean depths greate than 330 feet throughout the world, so it’ not a threat or danger to humans.

9. NOMURA’s JELLYFISH.

This freakishly gigantic jelly was found of the shores of Japan, and believe it or not, is considered edible (though not a delicacy!)
Nomura’s jellyfish can grow up to 440 pounds and live primarily in the waters surrounding Japan and China.

8. COCONUT CRAB.

This gigantic crab was named for its claw that are powerful enough to crack coconuts!
Found on the islands throughout the Indian Ocean and parts of the Pacific, the coconut crab is the largest species of terrestrial crab and is in fact related to hermit crabs.

They enjoy eating fruit and nuts, but will also snack on the corpses of dead animal

7. GREAT FLYING FOX.

No, this image has not been photoshopped, that’s an actual bat!
Part of the ancient genus Pteropus, the great flying fox (also known as the Bismarck flying fox) is a species of Megabat that resides in the lowland area of New Guinea and in the Bismarck Archipelago, and weighs only three pounds despite its massive size.

6. This giant moth is one of the many that invaded Malaysia!


A real-life Mothra, these moths may be massive, but they’re nothing to be afraid of, as they’re harmless to humans.

Earlier last year, a swarm of thousands o these big guys got people in Malaysia really excited as they descended into people’s homes and even interrupted a football match!

5. AFRICAN GOLIATH FROG.

Frog or dinosaur?
It’s definitely a frog, though it’s hard to imagine seeing this Kermit in your backyard!

Found in Cameroon, these giant critters can live up to 15 years, and are happy to devour anything from insects and bugs to snakes even other frogs. Terrifying.

4. CINEREOUS VULTURE.

This large raptor is a Eurasian species, and is believed to be the largest bird of prey on Earth.

These vultures can weigh up to 31 pounds, with wingspans of eight to 10 feet.

Their flight is buoyant with deep, heavy flaps of their massive wings.

3. CHINESE GIANT SALAMANDER.

The world’s largest amphibian can be found in streams and lakes of China and can grow up to six feet in length.

Almost completely blind, the Chinese giant salamander is considered to be critically endangered due to habitat loss.

2. JAPANESE SPIDER CRAB.

It’s no wonder why Japan is famous for their monster movies when they’ve got animals like this!

One of the country’s fishing staples, the Japanese spider crab lives at depths of up to 2,000 feet and can weigh up to 42 pounds.

In some parts of Japan, it is even considered a delicacy.

1. SHOEBILL

Yes, this is a real bird, and no, it’s not a terrifying monster of the skies, though they do fly, and their wingspan can reach a whopping eight feet!.

The shoebill (also known as a shoe-billed stork or whalehead) is a very large, storklike bird found in the swamps and tropic of East Africa.

Due to habitat destruction, they are currently a vulnerable species.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB Thursday refuted the publication that it has canceled the Computer Based Testing, CBT, adding that the introduction of 8 keys was to enable candidates who are not computer literate answer examination questions effortlessly.

The Director of Information, JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin who spoke with Vanguard said:”There is no going back from the Computer Based Testing, CBT.”

According to him, the clarification became necessary following the misleading caption in the front page of yesterday‘s Nation Newspaper that “JAMB dumps CBT, adopt eight keys”
He said: ”
The headline was not only misleading but capable of causing panic, distortion and confusion in the minds of Nigerians particularly the candidates planing to take the UTME examination of a well conceived CBT examination which the Board was consolidating on the gains and feat recorded.”
