The Worlds top 10 deadliest

[illdecide]

The tussle between humans and animals is not as one-sided as you may think. We count down the top ten deadliest animals .

Since the dawn of man, humans have held sway over the animal kingdom, hunting animals for purposes of food, tools, survival and sport. But animals still do a fair bit of damage to humans, claiming the lives of a more than two million people each year.

So which animals are the worst offenders? It's not the usual suspects. Sharks, whose attacks receive the most publicity, only kill three to four humans a year. The most poisonous animal on earth, the poison-arrow frog, lives deep within the tropical rainforests of Central and South America and rarely makes contact with humans.


Right lads/ladies without researching this can you place the following 10 animals in their rightfull position starting from the most deadliest and work your way down the list...

Scorpion
Dog
Elephant
Hippopotamus
Box Jelly fish
Lions/Big cats
Crocodiles
Snakes
Mosquito
Cape Buffalo

They kill 2 million or more a year

[Orior]

This is what i think causes the most deaths. I would have thought that animals who live in isolation wont count cause harm cause not many GAA boarders live there.

1. Elephant
2. Mosquito
3. Cape Buffalo
4. Snakes
5. Box Jelly fish
6. Scorpion
7. Dog
8. Hippopotamus
9. Crocodiles
10 Lions/Big cats

I'd have my mother-in-law up there too.

But they pass the disease on through biting/stinging

[Main Street]

I'd say Hippopotamus is fairly high up the list, perhaps in top 2 or 3.

The one in Dublin Zoo certainly has the deadliest fart I have ever whiffed.
