Top Ten Most Dangerous Animals

The Top Ten
1 Humans Humans (Homo sapiens) are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and large, complex brains. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions... read more

Humans are the most dangerous animal, hands down. We have invaded and crawled over every corner of the world. We kill unimaginable numbers of plants and animals every day. We have caused the extinction of hundreds of species. We are the only animals that kill each other for no particular reason. All wild animals kill for a reason (territory, food, etc) but we often kill just because we're jealous or angry or want revenge. We also have an immense array of weapons, an these are the only reason we're still alive. Look at us: no claws, no fangs, no horns, no armour plating, no cool abilities like holding our breath for an hour or running at 50 miles an hour.

Mosquitos do kill a good number of humans, but humans can easily kill them, too, and do. Animals kill humans for a reason, usually to protect their young, but humans will kill other animals for fun, and kill other humans for no reason. We do tests on animals for the sake of making humans even more overpopulated than we already are. Instead of bringing even more children in the world, and making us so overpopulated, you can try to adopt, or even better, adopt a pet. And for hunters saying they kill animals because 'they're overpopulated,' humans are the most overpopulated, stupidest, dirtiest animals out there. Why not hunt them instead?

2 Mosquito Spanish for "small fly," mosquitoes are insects that have been known to cause various diseases. A sample of diseases caused by mosquitoes: malaria, yellow fever, Chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, Zika virus.

Every year millions of people are killed by mosquitoes, but let's rephrase that. Every year millions of people are killed by mosquito transmitted diseases. The mosquito only passes the disease. It's not the mosquito's fault, it's only doing what it must to survive.

Mosquitoes carry the deadliest diseases ever. AT first, you may think the scorpion or the tarantula are more dangerous, they are, they really are, but they're not as commonly found. Mosquitoes, however, are EVERYWHERE you go, except winter. All the other seasons but winter are full of mosquitoes. Beware, there's no escape. Also, if you didn't know, mosquitoes sting us because they need our blood to reproduce. But when they leave, they take some blood, and leave a deadly disease as a "Thank you for helping me"

Yo besides us, this is most dangerous. Its not always about chasing each animal and eating it, this tiny little bug can do more... It can carry diseases like in my town in the summer they were carrying the West Nile virus. So here it is. Mosquito, Croc, Snakes venom, All those animals in savannah, Hyena especially, Shark, Bears, Spider, don't forget piranhas... And put box jelly fish somewhere.

3 Hippopotamus The common hippopotamus, or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus.

Hippo kills more than shark and crocodile, I believe. Since it was more sensitive and look harmless. BECAUSE it looks harmless, people often cross the boundaries hippos make. Yawning is actually their way to say "Back Off" ehich we intercepted as an entertainment. And so we're doomed. But shark already give us a crystal clear warning as soon as their fin surfaces. Plus, shark and such don't actually eat humans. It only harm us when trathened or curious of our seal-like swimming and posture. When it realized we're much less meatier, it will most likely release us

Hippos can kill an alligator by just chomping it with its teeth! It can kill pretty much any animals that would fit in its mouth!

The hippo has giant killer tusks that can be a foot long. It can easily bite a crocodile in half. It looks slow but it can run 20 mph. It is the third biggest land animal and can be 4 tons of super mean killer. It kills the most people in Africa and can destroy a van. They are awesome animals but don't get to close or you will be charged by fury.

4 Crocodile Crocodiles (family Crocodylidae) or true crocodiles are large semiaquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. The term crocodile is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae) among other extinct... read more

The salt water crocodile has the strongest bite on earth at 6,000 pounds of bite force its bite rivals the t-rex. Anything that come near is dead. Nothing should get in this living fossils way. It can flip a canoe. And can kill you. It is worlds stealthiest predator and has no predator it is massive at well over a ton it's the worlds biggest crocodile. It is a modern dinosaur. Get it angry and you will be bitten... Very hard.

Whilst crocodile attacks are quite rare they are amazingly powerful animals. Whilst not very fast on land they can move extremely quickly and stealthily underwater. They are ambush predators and have the highest recorded biteforce of any animal currently in existence.

Not only is the salt-water crocodile the largest living reptile on the planet, but it also one of the only animals in the world that will kill and eat humans as a food source.

5 Shark Sharks are a group of elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been (incorrectly) used to refer to extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii,... read more

Despite Jaw's portrayal (darn you, Jaws), Great Whites aren't as horrible as they are stereotyped to be. You are more likely to drown in your own bathtub than be killed by a shark. Besides, sharks are very important to the ocean's ecosystem. They are scavengers more than hunters, so they eat dead, dying, or diseased fish, cleaning up the water. They eat the sick fish before the disease spreads to other fish, helping sea life stay healthy. The sea and humans need sharks to thrive and continue a healthy existence.

When it comes to power, the shark is deadly.
When it comes to killing people, the shark is like an idiot.

Hell, Sharks don't even mean to kill humans. It is just an accident. They just mistake us for food. When the shark realizes you're not prey, it leaves you alone. The only reason why you die is because of the wound. You bleed to death.

Sharks aren't that dangerous, but only in totality standards.

6 Snake Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads (cranial kinesis). To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs... read more

Snakes shouldn't be on this list. This is a stereotype. Most snakes are harmless and only about 10% of snakes are actually dangerous to humans. I agree that some species of snake like the king cobra or black mamba are dangerous and aggressive, but most snakes are calm and sweet. For example, ball pythons are the cutest things on the planet. They would never bite you unless you had the scent of a rodent on your hand. What I'm trying to say is, don't make assumptions about something if you barely know anything about it

Snake bites are not as common as most people would believe. A snake would much rather slither away and hide from a human as if stood on they will likely die. Some species are venomous though most species outside of Australia are not venomous (Australia is the only continent with more venomous than non-venomous snakes). If bitten snake bites can be very serious with some species capable of killing an adult in under an hour.

7 Tiger The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest living cat species and a member of the genus Panthera. It is most recognisable for its dark vertical stripes on orange fur with a white underside. An apex predator, it primarily preys on ungulates such as deer and wild boar. It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat, which support its requirements... read more

Tigers are the natural powerhouse of the big cats. If you Took a
A 500 pound water buffalo and put in a lions territory it would take a whole pride to even get it to its knees. But, a tiger would need its self because a tiger could kill that water buffalo in a matter of seconds. And tigers can hold their own against Siberian brown bears and are one of the few animals who see us as a natural prey source. (Scary! )

Wildanimalfightclub.com
Leaving out the reason for an attack, tigers would kick ass because of agility, strength, speed, and although they aren't as intelligent as other creatures, when pitted into a fight, this large cat's attack mode is by far the most deadly.

Tiger attacks are rare, when you meet a tiger in the forest or something, it's just bad luck and fortune. I admire the tiger in its strength, power, and intelligence.

8 Lion The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is a social species, forming groups called prides. A lion's pride consists of a few adult males, related... read more

Oh come on who wrote this... Huh he is dumb because he wrote that us humans the dangerous animal. But we are not animals. Thus the lion could easily kill human because of its wildness and the title king of the jungle and lion is the symbol of courage and bravery.

Lions are only kind or protective for you because of something you did in the past to make it obey you, or you hit it or killed one of its pack members. Otherwise, you are dead if you are in its territory.

Whoever said if you can hear a lion roar, you are on its territory hasn't taken into account that both you and the lion could be right at the border of their territory, but not quite.

9 Elephant Elephants are the largest existing land animals. Three living species are currently recognised: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. They are the only surviving members of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea, extinct relatives include mammoths and mastodons. Distinctive features of elephants include a long proboscis called a trunk, tusks, large... read more

Elephants have few predators. They are protective of their young nearly as much as a rhino ��" about the most protective of all large animals. Elephants do not suffer from much predation and view a human as a persistent nuisance when we invade their space. Elephants attack by head-butting, stomping and sometimes throwing the person or animal with their trunk. They will also plow their tusk into you if you end up on the ground. Few people have survived elephant attacks.

Amazingly powerful animal and can be very territorial or aggressive especially males during must. African elephants in must are known to kill rhinos.

No elephants are extremely smart mammals with enough brainpower to rival people. Attacks are rare. Elephants are social animals and would prefer to avoid a fight than fight

10 King Cobra The king cobra is an elapid found predominantly in forests from India through Southeast Asia.

The King cobra is probably best known as the species of choice for the South Asia snake charmers. Even though cobras can hear, they are actually deaf to all ambient noises instead, they sense the ground vibrations. The snake charmer's flute entices the cobra by its shape and movement, not by the music... read more

These count as a snake, but if you want any info, it is the largest venomous snake and a whack from its tail is enough to shatter your skull. So yeah! Just your average snake which can kill you if it wants to.

All of these animals are dangerous but one bite from this and the person who got bitten COULD be saved. But there is a low chance. If you imediately get a doctor, poison control, or antidote and use it, you could be saved.

This is way more smart than Snake because all of them can kill you, though they can be tamed, but so can foxes and bobcats so I'm not really surprised.

The Contenders
11 Box Jellyfish Box jellyfish are cnidarian invertebrates distinguished by their cube-shaped medusae. Some species of box jellyfish produce extremely potent venom: Chironex fleckeri, Carukia barnesi and Malo kingi.

Why is this number 14? I guess everyone loves the invisible floating plastic bag in the ocean that is actually the sea equivalent of the grim reaper.
One touch of this satanic puff of smoke puts a timer above your head and a will in your hand 'cause you ain't seeing tomorrow.
It might as well just rock the full cloak and scythe because this thing will boss Satan back into the depths of hell just by nonchalantly wagging one of it's many death-tails in it's general direction, but it doesn't because it does't need any accessories to assert it's dominance over all life.
Just one fraction of a touch from this thing and you'll be kissing your sweet ass goodbye because it's taking you straight to the graveyard with that loving embrace.
But this pure unadulterated badassery isn't enough to beat Mr "I almost went extinct because people like my weird tusks" elephant or even Mr "I sleep 20 hours a day just to occasionaly steal a carcass by being kinda spooky" lion I guess.
In my opinion, Dr Box Jellyfish wins every time, it proves doesn't need brains, hearts or any other organ to be a serial killer, and at over 90% water it can still kill you with a kiss.

12 Spider

Kills you in seconds with a single bite. A black widow's venom is so strong that it poisons you while turning your blood into the form of butter. The last thing I would want is to meet a huge spider. That is why I only travel to North America or Europe.

Top 10 scariest? Yes in my opinion. Top 10 most dangerous? Even the most venomous ones are usually only deadly to children and people with allergies to them or something, so no.

Yup, no doubt that this thing is creepy. I have serious arachnophobia (fear of spiders). I can't even look at a picture of a spider for more than 1 second.. EEHH.. GROSS...

13 Komodo Dragon The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar.

It's the largest lizard in the world, it has bacteria in its mouth and is poisonous. It's fast for its size and can swim and climb. It's extremely dangerous and should be higher on the list.

It has more than 1000 deadly bacterias in their mouth, sharp (I mean it) teeth, very strong neck, all enough to bite you, kill you, swing you around, and rip you to pieces, then swallow you.

It has deathly bacterias in their mouth, and sharp teeth, there's also no cure for this?

14 Rat Rats are various medium-sized, long-tailed rodents of the superfamily Muroidea. "True rats" are members of the genus Rattus, the most important of which to humans are the black rat, Rattus rattus, and the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus.

? Rats gang up and kill humans you say? ? I'm not sure I understand... Hey... Um... Are you in therapy... You belong in therapy... Since when do rats GANG UP and KILL human beings. They're an animal the size of our hand... And apparently... They can kill us... Rats are innocent and loyal. You people carry around a disease far more infectious than the plague. It's a disease called stupidity.

I had so rats and they were the most beautiful things I've ever had. Only if I had had them longer, this week my And My friends have been mourning the death of my bffs rat, Luke, who died recently. I loved every rat hat I saw, it's just vermin rats that bother me, anything else is a fluffy, cuddly, bony tailed cheese eating fluff corn ( without horn )

Did you know Christians had created a cat massacre against Witches (refering to actual only, not the bah humbug) thinking that the cats were the ones that spread the plague. Speaking of cats: it is said that black cat(s) were the most popular back then. Now, think about that and the black cat having oh so bad luck.

15 Hyena Hyenas or hyaenas are any feliform carnivoran mammals of the family Hyaenidae /haɪˈɛnᵻdiː/. With only four extant species, it is the fifth-smallest biological family in the Carnivora, and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia.

I was born and raised in Uganda. People ask me about lions and things like that. No. Those are not something we worried about. Hippos are scary. But people do not understand when I tell them. People underestimate their size and insanity. One time hyenas came into the outskirts of the village to get into eel baskets someone had left out, and the villagers made everyone get onto their roofs rather than try to fight or defend themselves.

Hyenas. Hyenas are so terrifying that in 15 years living in America, I refuse to watch The Lion King. I refused to go to my friend's home because he had a spotted cattle dog that looked like a hyena. I had a very real panic attack at a zoo when I heard a hyena call. I wouldn't have gone if I'd known they kept them. Hyens give absolutely zero about injuries sustained while hunting. The one gang leader where I'm from had a hyena he kept on a chain, and no one messed with him.

With hyenas, there is no chance of a fight.

16 Saltwater Crocodile The saltwater crocodile, also known as the estuarine crocodile, Indo-Pacific crocodile, marine crocodile, sea crocodile or informally as saltie, is the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest riparian predator in the world.

The statistics are catually 2.3 attacks a year 1.5 deadly this was a servey don by the biological department of the university of queensland Australia

Heavens, we head this

17 Bear Bears are carnivoran mammals of the family Ursidae. They are classified as caniforms, or doglike carnivorans. Although only eight species of bears are extant, they are widespread, appearing in a wide variety of habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere and partially in the Southern Hemisphere. Bears are found on the continents of North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Common characteristics... read more

Depends on the species entirely, and whether or not they have cubs. A polar bear with cubs would easily be number 3 on this list, if they lived closer to humans, which they are really only near small populations. Grizzlies with cubs are no joke either, and grizzlies, while not nearly as aggressive as polar bears, are still incredibly unpredictable and there is no guaranteed way to survive an encounter with one, especially if it has already eaten a human previously, because bears do have a tendency to view humans as prey if they have already killed one. However, in most cases, there should be a way to survive an encounter so long as you don't startle the bear or show it fear. Black bears though can be intimidated unlike grizzlies, so they're easier to deal with.

Tips:
1. Make a little bit of noise.
2. Don't bring your dog with you.
3. Never feed or approach it.
4. Never make eye contact.
5. Never go between a mom bear and her cubs.
6. Don't run away.
7. Don't climb a tree.
8. If a bear touches you, drop to the ground and play dead. Lie on your stomach, clasp your hands behind your neck, and use your elbows and toes to avoid being rolled over. If the bear does roll you, keep rolling until you land back on your stomach. Stay still and do not struggle or scream. A defensive bear will stop attacking once it feels you are not a threat. Do not move until you are absolutely sure the bear has left the area.
9. Use scentless shampoo so you don't attract the bear.
10. If you see bear dropping near your campsite move to another campsite.

18 Black Mamba The black mamba is a species of extremely venomous snake, a member of the family Elapidae native to parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.

These things are probably the most dangerous snake in my opinion. Highly aggressive, they strike blindingly fast, they are venomous enough to be deadly at a 100% rate if untreated, which treatment options are scarce where they live, and to top it off, they are one of the fastest snakes in the world, moving up to 12.5 mph. Oh, and on top of that, they are often found in trees where they blend in.

Terribly deadly and the only animal that will attack it is a honey badger but there used to killing lions anyway
and they will stand up to a swarm of killer bees never mind a black mamba!

They can kill you in 5 minutes and they are extremely fast and tall. They like to live in banana gardens.

19 African Lion

Although lion Cubs may look cute and fun to play with, resist it. Lions and Lionesses could easily and most certainly attack you. Kill you, is the word.

Lions were mentioned above. Why again and again?

One of the world's most cruel animals.

20 Killer Whale The Orca, or Killer Whale (Orcinus orca), is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. It is recognizable by its black-and-white patterned body. Orcas are a cosmopolitan species and can be found in all of the world's oceans, in a variety of marine environments, from Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas... read more

If Orcas preyed on humans, they could easily demolish you. Killer Whales are one of the most intelligent creatures on this planet, so they obviously would use pretty much any tactic and advantage they can use to kill their victims. That's what makes them unique from other animals. Rather than just killing everything in the same way, Orcas like to mix it up and try something different every once in a while. The tactic I like the most is "The Wave Knocker". They go barely beneath the surface of the water and then they swim very fast to create waves that will knock a creature off of a glacier.

I saw this BBC documentary of a Killer Whale using the "Wave Knocker" technique, I think someone already mentioned it already ;). So basically the Orca uses its fluke to create a wave knocking seals off of ice floes, then killing them. Highly intelligent. Recent studies show more intelligence in Killer Whales than Bottlenose Dolphins. Also, did you know the name "Killer Whale" came from an old saying calling the animal a "whale killer", which gradually morphed into the term "Killer Whale". Scientific name Orcinus orca, and one of my favorite animals.

21 Black Widow

Seriously, Black Widow has the most poisonous poisons ever.

Why?

The venom of the black widow spider is 15 times as toxic as the venom of the prairie rattlesnake. Only the female Black Widow is dangerous to humans; males and juveniles are harmless. More than 35,000 spider species of spiders occur in the World.

Well, to be fair, the Black Widow Spider is formidable in its own right. Its venom is among the most potent after all. In addition, females eat their mate after mating season.

Well, no one has died of a Black Widow bite in over ten years. You are more likely to died from a Brown Recluse bite.

22 Leopard The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is one of the most adaptable and the most widespread big cat; it's secrets being:well camouflaged fur; its opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength to move heavy carcasses into trees; its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rain-forest to steppe and including arid and mountainous areas; and to run at... read more

I saw a leopard having a tea party in my backyard. Smart animals have tea parties and smart = dangerous. Also in my school we are all leopards. Look under your bed- RIGHT NOW- there is probably one there waiting for you... and I like that I like easy cat such as easy leopards space leopards okay. Space leopards with laser beams! DANGEROUS! They are about to blow up the planet RIGHT NOW! What are you waiting for?!?!?! Every animal is dumb compared to the leopard.

Leopards are cool. They have no respect for lions.

These stupid, ugly, nasty, disgusting, rotten, useless, disgraceful creatures will kill you

23 Jaguar The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a large cat species and the only living member of the genus Panthera native to the Americas. With a body length of up to 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) and a weight of up to 158 kg (348 lb), it is the largest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world. Its distinctively marked coat features pale yellow to tan colored fur covered by spots that transition to rosettes... read more

What, This should be way higher. It is very fast and very aggressive. It will rip your flesh up.

They're one of Mexico's wildlife symbols. They're amazing.

They are so deadly that they can kill black caimans!

24 Cape Buffalo The African buffalo or Cape buffalo is a large African bovine. Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the typical subspecies, and the largest one, found in Southern and East Africa.

They charge right at you at 30mph and tries to trample. Just imagine how painful that would be coming from an animal with horns and weighs more than 1000lbs.

The Cape Buffalo. And you thought charging Bulls were bad.

Most aggressive when provoked!
