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.

Why do different countries use different mains voltages?

Why do different countries use different mains voltages? the biggest disparity is between the usA on 110V and most of the rest of the world on 230V. America’s lower voltage goes all the way back to thomas edison, who introduced direct current (dC) mains electricity at 110V. edison’s rival nikola tesla showed that long power lines transmitted alternating current (AC) more efficiently than dC. His AC approach won out, but he stuck with edison’s 110V. But by the time electrification spread to europe early in the 20th Century, lamps had filaments that could give out more light and handle greater power loads. so the Berliner elektrizitätswerke company in Germany established 230V as the standard.
