Here is a list of the world’s top 10 most dangerous animals and why. This list isn’t based on how venomous it is or other statistics but how dangerous it is towards humans.
Polar Bear
Polar bears are the largest carnivores on land; they eat ringed seals for breakfast but will settle for a young walrus or beluga whale. They’ve been known to kill humans who venture too close. Like black bears and grizzlies, its starvation that makes them dangerous. A smack from one of their paws can rip your head right off.
Elephant
Elephants are perceived to be peaceful and kind.While they are not in an epic war against humans they are known to turn on us rapidly, especially as a result of their abuse and harassment by humans. When caged or feeling the restraints of domesticated life, they can fall into a blind rage. They have been known to kill their handlers, as well as stampede tourists who show up to admire them
Cape Buffalo
Also known as the African buffalo they are some of the most dangerous animals in Africa. This is not just a big com; They see man as a predator so when they see one they charge at him -1500 pounds (approx. 680kg) and all – and use their horns for stabbing. It is said the when wounded by a hunter, they pursue him until either the buffalo or the hunter is dead.
Lion
The lion is known as the king of the jungle, and for good reason. The lion is the top of the food chain in Africa. The lounge around all day, hanging out with the family and strike when necessary. Basically a big cat, they have razor sharp claws and teeth that can shred apart any animal including humans. These beasts are impressive but they are not to be messed with. They are fast and lethal, and nothing you can do can stop this African monster from attacking you.
Great White Shark
The most dangerous subspecies of the shark family, the great white shark is not the largest (although it is the largest predatory shark). Unlike in the movie Jaws, sharks are not bent on revenge. If they attack humans it’s because they think were fish. Whenever they sense blood in the water, they get excited and it can trigger one of their famous feeding frenzies in which they will bite everything that moves. Sharks strike no matter what time of day or the condition of the water.
Box Jellyfish
To do so they extend their tentacles (ranging from 10 to 60), which secrete a toxic substance. These tentacles range from a few feet to 15 feet long. The box jellyfish, also known as the sea wasp, lives off the waters of Northern Australia and is the most poisonous sea creature in the world. This translucent being patrols the beaches, basically waiting for contact with its victim. The simple act of stepping on a tentacle can signify death in 4 minutes
Crocodile
The North American, Nile, and Estuarine are the largest crocodile and therefore the most dangerous, especially saltwater crocs, which include humans on their list of prey. Again like most animals they attack when their hungry or defending their territory. The Australian estuarine crocodiles sometimes attack anything that moves. They lie still in the water and wait for their prey, then they overpower, drown and dismember their victim, before they devour their feast.
Killer Bees
. Whenever they hear you coming with a lawnmower or trimmer, they will attack you. Even if you run away, they will chase you as far as 1000feet and they can continue attacking you for up to 10 hours. The species has slowly but surely crept up from South America and is now invading the Southern United States.
Funnel-Web Spider
Arachnophobia is a very common fear among the population.Being attacked by a venomous spider can put an end to your life in a matter of hours. The funnel-web spider, whose body length ranges from 0.5 – 2 inches, is the most dangerous in the world. Hailing from Australia, they have massive fangs that can bite through a fingernail. The male might even enter building in search of a female and will become aggressive if cornered or disturbed.
Asian Cobra
There’s a reason why snakes have garnered such a bad name over the years. There are about 2 million people who suffer from snakebites every year throughout the world. More than 50,000 of these are fatal. The Asian Cobra is technically not the reptile with the strongest venom but, along with Russel’s Viper, it is the one that kills the most people annually.
