the animal kingdom is a dangerous place
full of violent and venomous creatures
while most of human civilization has
figured out a way to remove itself from
the animal kingdom that doesn't mean
they're totally immune to its dangers
many parts of the world live right up
close and personal to it and face
challenges from deadly animals every day
some might be in your backyard right now
curious to see which animals are the
most deadly well I'm Michael is 25 and
here are 25 deadliest animals known to
man 25 sharks while Shark Week and the
movie Jaws make sharks out to seem like
killing machines they're actually pretty
tame in comparison to other animals in
the world however on average sharks kill
about 6 people in the world every year
24 wolves in an earlier time wolves
killed a lot more people but as human
civilization has expanded the attacks
have lessened today wolves killed 10
people a year on average 23 horses
horses are big heavy and have a powerful
kick we round them a lot more than most
animals so it probably shouldn't
surprise us
they killed 20 people every year 22 cows
at the same time the animals Americans
eat all the time get their payback in
small doses sure they're docile but they
still might kick you if you're up in the
wrong way cows kill an average of 22
people a year 21 leopards
while there's certainly magnificent
creatures and rarely attack humans in
2001 they attacked 50 and killed 29
people researchers discern the problem
arose out of human intervention 20 ants
it's kinda hard to believe that ants
kill more people than leopards but there
are 280 different species of ants that
can kill they were reported to kill up
to 30 people a year usually it's because
someone slept next to an anthill and
died of anaphylactic shock no word on
how deadly uncle's are though fun fact
when I was little there was an ant pile
in the corner of my day school and for
some reason I walk up to it just sat in
it I was bit all over didn't die though
19 box jellyfish everyone knows that
jellyfish sting hurts but they may also
cost you your life in the Philippines
alone the box jellyfish takes 20 to 40
people per year some estimate it could
be upwards of a hundred people in the
entire world 18 bees their small can fly
come in large numbers and sting I'm
talking of course about bees and believe
it or not they kill 53 people on average
every year most people can withstand the
sting but those that are allergic are in
particular danger 17 Tigers Tigers have
always been a fear predator among humans
crafty quiet and fierce these large cats
certainly know how to hunt
luckily they rarely kill humans while
they make about 85,000 kills on average
only 85 of those are human 16 deer
usually deer are very aggressive they
run away from trouble more often than
attacked so how can they cause 130
deaths a year one word
accidents too often a skittish deer runs
out onto a dark country road hitting a
car and killing the passenger inside 15
African cape buffalo you definitely
wouldn't want to mess with an african
cape buffalo
they kill more big-game hunters than any
animal and are said to charge at you and
Gore you with their big horns they kill
200 people on average every year 14
lions
consider the king of the jungle lions
are the only cats that can work together
in packs to prey on other animals while
humans hunt these
magnificent creatures in Africa Lions
have also been known to hunt humans on
average they killed 250 people every
year 13 elephants with human
civilization consistently growing
elephants are being pushed into smaller
spaces and frankly getting angry about
it
elephants are showing more aggression
and confrontation with humans and the
result is staggering
elephants kill five hundred people a
year 12
hippopotamuses with a virtual tie with
elephants hippopotamuses were once
considered the most deadly animal in
Africa they're big fast aggressive and
have even been known to tip over boats
roughly they kill 500 people a year 11
tapeworm perhaps what's worse than an
animal attacking you from the outside is
a hidden animal attacking you from the
inside tapeworms can hide inside you and
give you a disease called cystic
cirrhosis which kills about 700 people a
year 10 crocodiles
unlike alligators which barely ever harm
anyone crocodiles are fierce territorial
and don't really care who they eat or
kill if you end up near one they'll grab
you pull you under water and eat you
before you have time to do anything
on average they kill about 1000 people a
year I killed it 9 scorpions they're
smaller than most but can pack quite a
punch with their tail of all the
scorpions 20 species have enough venom
to kill a man still there are a million
stings in a year and 3,250 deaths are a
result of it the wrong scorpion ate a
scarus round worms a scarce round worms
caused an infection in the small
intestine called s kerasys and it
usually affects smaller children rather
than adults still it leaves a
devastating number of casualties for
five hundred people a year die from it
seven seats he flies while the average
house fly is harmless you wouldn't want
to run into the tsetse fly it could give
you a disease called sleeping sickness
in which your brain swells you fall
asleep and you die this fly kills ten
thousand people a year six assassin bugs
with a name like assassin bug you know
you'll want to steer clear it's also
called the kissing bug and it passes on
Chagas disease which kills about 12,000
people a year five freshwater snails it
might sound silly to say freshwater
snails are some of the deadliest animals
on earth but it's very true they carry
parasitic worms which can give you
schistosomiasis it causes abdominal pain
and blood in the stool and urine and
could also kill you on average it kills
twenty thousand people a year for dogs
everyone thinks of dogs is man's best
friend but they're also one of fans
greatest killers they kill up to 35,000
people a year most of the deaths occur
in Africa and Asia where many dogs are
infected with rabies
I've already had my rabies shots hahaha
yeah I had to get rabies shots when I
was a kid
cat three snakes it might not be much of
a surprise to hear snake can be quite
deadly with the myriad of venomous
snakes on the earth they're likely to
kill a few people originally the World
Health Organization did a study stating
snakes kill a hundred thousand people a
year but many believe that's an under
estimate and say it's likely more around
200,000 to humans one of the deadliest
animals on the planet is you humans kill
more humans in much larger numbers than
most animals that's probably not much of
a surprise according to a UN study on
average humans kill four hundred and
thirty seven thousand other humans a
year one
