- Most Dangerous Animals In The World
What is the most dangerous animal in the world? The answer is simple. MAN ! However, some animals are his true competitors in the game of life and death, the game called SURVIVAL. After all, their poisonous teeth, menacing stings, long claws, sharp fangs, huge horns and gapping jaws give them a "tiny" advantage when they meet man one on one. Checkmate!
Shark
Contrary to a general belief, most of the sharks are not dangerous to humans. However, some of them do attack us. There are 360 species, and only four of them are killers : the great white, tiger, bull and the oceanic whitetip. This group is responsible for more than 100 deaths a year.
Scorpion
Although there are around 2.000 species, only 30-40 can kill a man. Their skills of survival allow them to live in the isolated places of harsh conditions, where an antidote is often unavailable. This is why most of their victims (more than 1600 per year) die.
Hippopotamus
They may seem cute, chubby, and cuddly, but don’t be fooled, these aggressive predators are considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. They are extremely fast (the can run at speeds over 20 miles an hour) and their enormous jaws can open four feet wide. In spite of being vegetarians, males often attack humans who stand in their territories, while females usually attack if they sense anyone jeopardize their babies. Number of fatalities per year is 100-150.
