Countries With the Most Dangerous Animals

Sometimes I wonder how to cope with life in some of these places. I live in England, and so the most dangerous animal here is probably the occasional wasp, and just sting and leave you, but in these places, it is much worse.

The Top Ten

Australia

Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi), Australia is the largest country by area in Oceania and... read more

You asked " countries with the most dangerous animals" and the answer is Australia. It has the most venomous snakes, the most venomous spider (that may be contested) and the most deadly animal of all the box jelly fish. Not to mention salt water crocodile, it even has killer ants. To say Brazil is folly, first Australia has a tiny population compared to Brazil, and live only on the coast. The contact between humans and dangerous animals is rare, owing to the fact of education in Australia of the danger of these animals. More deaths have nothing to do with your question.

Australia may not be riddled with wars and violence, unlike some countries (which aren't on here), the amount of deadly animals is, in some way, ridiculous. A few weeks ago, I almost rode over a Brown Snake on my bike. It was just across the path, and it looked like bark... until it moved. But yes, lots of animals here can kill you. Cane toads, sharks, snakes, spiders, creepy crawlies. I was in Queensland last year, the cockroaches there, anywhere else in the world, cockroaches are... well... they're insect size, in Queensland, they're the size of a small child's foot! However, they can't kill you which is a surprise. Usually, the saying for animals in Australia is "If it can't kill you, it doesn't exist in the country. I think the animals here make up for the lack of natural disasters we have. Don't get me wrong fellow Australian, I know we have bushfires, cyclones, floods, tornadoes... actually, on second thought, we have some freakish weather as well, but we don't have volcanoes. That's the only thing Australia is missing. If Australia had active volcanoes (we do have volcanoes, they are just long extinct, never to erupt again) but if Australia had volcanoes, the country would be complete to have everything that can kill.
Brazil

Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. At 8.5 million square kilometers (3,300,000 sq mi) and with over 214 million people, Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country by area and the sixth most populous.... read more

Brazil has it all which they have giant centipede that is aggressive and painful bite and huge! and they have the Brazilian Wandering spider and is also aggressive and very venomous. If Creepy crawlies don't kill you than bigger predators might such as Jaguars which are Fast and smart hunters, and you have anacondas which are biggest snakes in the world (can possibly swallow you whole if threatened. next time you go swimming, do not swim in caiman crocodile area in brazil, or it will be your last swim. Piranhas rarely attack unless blood, but they do give that creepy aggressive look at the amazon river (I can go on if I wanted to)
Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo, also known as DR Congo, DRC, DROC, Congo-Kinshasa, or simply the Congo, is a country located in Central Africa. It is the second-largest country in Africa by area and the fourth most populous, with Kinshasa as its capital and largest city. The country is rich in... read more

I was originally going to vote for a country in The Americas but I changed my mind and settled for an african country.

As well as having a huge diversity of large or venomous animals, humans are what make this place more terrifying.
India

India, officially known as the Republic of India, is a country located in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area and the most populous country in the world, with over 1.4 billion people. It's also the most populous democracy in the world.... read more

Only country in the world where you can see tigers and lions in the wild. Not to mention leopards, elephants, buffaloes, Rhinos, bears, wolves, king cobras, pythons etc.
Whatever animals Africa has in different countries, here we have them in a single place.

India do share many of the same wildlife as Africa due to its late continental drift away from Africa joining into Asia. With saying that their relatives have been apart from their counterparts for over 100000 years. With that they have evolved differently and in most cases smaller due to adapting to their new environment, so no they aren't as dangerous as the African subspecies that they originated from. That's evident in most cases if u compare their physical characteristics
South Africa

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana,... read more

The big difference between Africa and other places is that with most other places animals kill you in self defense. In Africa you are on the menu for a surprisingly large amount of creatures in addition to those that kill in self defense.

Don't even get me started, there are so many apex predators, powerful aggressive herbivores. Let's just give you a bit of them. Rhinos, lions, Buffaloes, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, elephants, hippos, honey badgers. There are so many more

South Africa definitely, , look on wild, people always get killed when they visit South Africa by nasty animals!

The Chilean Recluse Spider is very but VERY dangerous, that's why I'm afraid of Spiders.

Have you ever even been outside? United States has a great animal : population control. Yes Florida has alligators ( NOT CROCS ) and Bears but the Bears literally run away if you go near them and the alligators just ignore them. Just don't bother them and then they won't bother you. Places like Congo or Parts of Australia have either the most poisonous animals or the most deadly (Lions HIPPOS, hippos are very unpredictable and dangerous, While I was in Japan they had a Hippo in a zoo and you could throw Lettuce Heads at it for it to eat it and it ate it in one chomp, And Australia has Blue Ring Octopus and Box Jelly Fish.

Not by any means number 1 for dangerous animals, but still much more dangerous than Europe. No offense, but why would any European country on this list be present after #20? Just no. The United States has an extremely diverse ecosystem, wether it be the arid desserts of the Southwest, humid swamps of the Southeast, or the somewhat less humid, tall forests of the mid Atlantic states and the Northeast, everywhere has a decent selection of dangerous animals, even with Alaska via polar bears, etc. The U.S. has an abundance of pit vipers, large bears, sharks, alligators in the southeast, not to mention two or so venomous spiders, many large carnivorous cats and mammals in general, and even a venomous lizard, yes, lizard, in the deep southwest: the Gila monster, out of the two venomous lizard s in the world, other being the Mexican beaded lizard. There are more, but I will leave it at that. Also, keep in mind most animals attack only for a reason, so leave them alone and the same will be granted for you. Animals should not foolishly killed or otherwise harmed just for sport or lack of knowledge, fear, etc.
Tanzania

Tanzania, officially the United Republic of Tanzania or simply U.R.T., is a large country in Eastern Africa within the African Great Lakes region.

Yeah, Canada, my birthplace, has some dangerous animals. All three bear species from North America live there, (the polar, grizzly, and American black) and they're all dangerous. Coyotes and wolves maim children and pets. The mountain lion and wolverine are all formidable predators, which have no natural predators, (besides humans) and are completely fearless, an at any given time, can attack people if provoked, mostly hunters, or even kids. The herbivores aren't gentle giants either, and they too can be just as dangerous as the carnivores mentioned above. More people are actually attacked by moose and bison, then by bears, wolves, mountain lions, and nearly all predators mentioned above. Even rodents (such as beavers), weasels (badgers, or pine martens), or birds(geese and eagles) can be pretty nasty towards you too if surprised or cornered.

England has adders, a venomous snake that is very unlikely to cause fatalities. Apparently the September fly or 'daddy long legs' has one of the most deadliest poisons in the world, it just can't bite, but I'm not sure if this is true or like I presume, not. Britain use to be home to wolves, bears and wolverines, but this was a few hundred years ago. English people are notorious for binge drinking, and ruining peoples evenings. They are probably the most dangerous creatures in Spain, and islands across the mediterranean. And I'm English and yeah, we over drink often and without occasion for celebration lol

How is england on this list remove it. I live in england and the only deadly animal is an angry bee or wasp.
Thailand

Albania's mountainous terrains have a lot of dangerous animals, you can find wolfs, lynxes, snakes, spider and maybe not so dangerous but some other animals you can find are wild pigs, scorpions, foxes, bats etc. Maybe not as dangerous as Africa or Australia but it can be considered dangerous country

I love Albania but every time I go for summer vacation my grandparents house is in like the country so during the day I'm not allowed to go into the garden because theirs snakes and especially the hills. I've head that there are scorpions but I've never encountered one. For me I'm really scared of bugs but if your a bug lover that's the place to go! so many different creatures in such a small country
