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.
