These Are The 8 Most Dangerous Animals On Earth

We definitely didn’t expect the last one

From watching monkeys at the zoo to admiring butterflies on the street. We are not easily afraid of animals. Yet there are some animals you’d rather not encounter, because it can quickly go wrong. Read on for the most dangerous animals in the world. We start with number eight and end with the most dangerous animal on earth. Did you expect this? 

8. Sharks

After seeing the movie Sharks, we were all afraid to dive into the deep sea again. Before you know it, you run into a shark, and you’re probably not gonna like this encounter… However, although we occasionally hear it on the news, there are “only” six human deaths each year from shark attacks. Other animals, on the contrary, are much scarier….

7. Wolves

Wolves are not so much afraid of people. Rather, they avoid them. But occasionally, because of rabies, fear and even provocation by the victims, wolves can suddenly attack. In that case, especially farm animals suffer. Think sheep, but also dogs.

Wondering what’s even more dangerous than a shark or wolf? You’ll read about it on the next page!

6. Jellyfish

A great fear for many people is to be stung by jellyfish. Especially a sting by Pacific Sea Nettles can be incredibly painful. Fortunately for humans, that sting is rarely fatal. However, stings from other species such as the box jellyfish are. These are found mainly in the Indo-Pacific region and northern Australia.

5. Bees

Bzzz! Bees, wasps, hornets and other flying insects are among the deadliest animals in the United States. No reason to panic yet, because often these deaths occur when people are allergic to those stings and experience anaphylactic shock.

4. Hippos

At first glance, hippos don’t seem to harm a fly, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, hippos are known to be very aggressive. However, this is not necessarily always the case. It often happens when they feel threatened. In such a situation, they can very easily capsize a small boat and kill the occupants.

3. Snakes

You have different types of snakes, but the most dangerous one is the bothrops asper snake, also known as the barba amarilla. This snake has one of the deadliest venoms of any snake in the world. With over 60,000 incidents per year, it’s best to stay away from the snake.

But that’s still nothing compared to the next two in the list….

2. Dogs

Yes indeed, your favorite pet can also be very dangerous. Small disclaimer is that this is not true for all dogs. For example, these puppies wouldn’t hurt a fly. But if a dog is aggressive or feels threatened, they can quickly start biting. And that’s when you want to stay away from the mouth – trust us!

1. People

From shootings to car accidents to military actions. Humans are responsible for more than half a million (!) human fatalities a year. Then again, a shark can look so terrifying, it does far less harm to people than humans do.
