Ten most dangerous animals in the world.

10 DANGEROUS ANIMALS




10 Poison dart frog (phyllobates terribilis) 



Human deaths/year: Unknown living in the rainforest of colombia, this frog’s skin is coated with enough batrachotoxins to kill at least ten men.

09 Box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri)


human deaths: at least 60 since 1883 each of the sea wasp’s tentacles is armed with
about 5000 stinging cells.


08 sloth bear (Melursus ursinus)


 Human deaths/year: <2 like other bear species, sloth bears don’t predate humans, but chance encounters can result in deaths.

07 Great white shark (carcharodon carcharias)


 Human deaths/year: <30 unprovoked shark attacks on humans are extremely rare – and fatalities even rarer. Great white, tiger and bull sharks are responsible for most.

06 lion (panthera leo)


Human deaths/year: ≤100 lion attacks on humans often occur during harvests, but rare outbreaks of mass ‘maneating’ also occur.

05 African elephant (Loxodonta africana) 


Human deaths/year: ≤300 elephants probably kill a few hundred people annually – though more than 20,000 elephants are killed by poachers each year.


04 nile crocodile (crocodylus niloticus) 


Human deaths/year: >300 Attacks by this large reptile on people on the water or on riverbacks are relatively frequent in Africa.
A large male nile crocodile can grow up to 6m long.

03 Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) 


Human deaths/year: <3,000 Accurate figures are hard to obtain, but hippos are certainly responsible for many deaths every year in Africa.


02 asian cobra (naja naja)


Human deaths/year: ≤50,000 though not india’s most venomous snake, this cobra is responsible for the majority of snakebite deaths.

01 Mosquito (Anopheles spp)


Human deaths/year: 2 million Bites from these insects transmit the plasmodium blood parasites that cause malaria.

DO ALL FISH AND SHELLFISH CONTAIN MERCURY?

Mercury levels in the oceans have tripled since the Industrial Revolution, thanks to mining and the burning of fossil fuels. All sea creatures absorb some of this heavy metal directly, and, once it’s in the body, there’s no way of getting rid of it. The amount of mercury in fish varies between species. Long-lived predators like tuna and swordfish tend to contain the most, because they also absorb mercury from their prey and they’ve had a long time to accumulate it. The lowest levels are found in short-lived species lower down the food chain, such as oysters and shrimp.

the top 10 fastest road cars in the world

TEN FASTEST ROAD CARS 01 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Top speed: 431km/h 2010–present despite having made its public debut back in 2010, all other road-legal cars continue to eat the Super Sport’s cinders. Powered by an eight-litre engine, the Bugatti is capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in just 2.4 seconds. This need for speed doesn’t come cheap, though. Prospective owners need to have a spare $2.5m in their back pocket. And then there’s those insurance premiums. 02 Hennessey Venom Gt Top speed: 428km/h 2012–present 03 Koenigsegg Agera R Top speed: 418km/h 2011–present 04 Ssc Ultimate Aero Top speed: 413km/h 2006–2013 05 9ff GT9-R Top speed: 413km/h 2007-2008 06 Saleen S7 Twin-turbo Top speed: 399km/h 2005–2009 07 Koenigsegg CCX Top speed: 394km/h 2006–2010 08 McLaren F1 Top speed: 386km/h 1992-1998 09 Zenvo st1 Top speed: 374km/h 2009–present 10 Pagani Huayra Top speed: 370km/h 2012–present
