Meet 10 most Dangerous Animals in the world

Some popular animals made various lists of the world’s dangerous and deadliest animals. While great white sharks, cobras, are very experienced predators, there are just as many little-known yet equally threatening animals in the wild you probably don’t know about. Here are 10 of the deadliest animals. 
10. Asian Giant Hornet 

This is the world’s largest hornet, Which can be found in the temperate and tropical Eastern Asia. 

A single sting from the this deadly creature is enough to kill a fully grown man, that is because the hornet’s venom contains cytolytic peptides that literally tear apart cell tissue on a molecular scale. It feed mainly on honey from honey bee colonies, but it is very dangerous due to its large stinger which is 6 mm long and helps it to inject a large amount of potent venom into it’s victim body system. The hornet is responsible for over 1000 yearly deaths in Japan and it is also known to fly at an impressive 25 miles per hour–even faster when in a hive. 

9. Jellyfish (Sea Wasp Box jellyfish)

The sea wasp box jellyfish is the most deadly fish in the world and even one of the most deadly creatures on the planet as a whole. The marine stinger has killed 5,568 people since 1954. The sea wasp box jellyfish have fifteen tentacles which can extend 10 feet in length. And on each tentacle there are around 500,000 darts with each dart full of venom and can kill up to 60 people. The sting from this fish is enough to kill even before the venom does, as it can lead to shock and with extreem pain for weeks.

8. Black Mamba

The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is a venomous snake endemic to parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Skin colour varies from grey to dark brown. Juvenile black mambas tend to be paler than adults and darken with age. It is the longest species of venomous snake indigenous to the African continent; mature specimens generally exceed 2 meters (6.6 ft) and commonly attain 3 meters (9.8 ft). Specimens of 4.3 to 4.5 meters (14.1 to 14.8 ft) have been reported.

Black Mamba is especially deadly due to its speed, it is the fastest of all snakes, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 mph. The good thing about the Black Mamba is that they usually don’t strike unless if provoked, but when they do they’ll bite repeatedly delivering enough venom to kill ten people.

7. Golden Poison Dart frog

The most deadly frog, the golden poison dart, inhabits the small range of rain forests along Colombia’s Pacific coast, and grows to around two inches long (roughly the size of a paper clip). Its poison, called batrachotoxin, is so potent that there’s enough in one frog to kill ten grown men, with only two micrograms—roughly the amount that would fit onto the head of a pin—needed to kill a single individual. But what makes the amphibian especially dangerous is that its poison glands are located beneath its skin, meaning a mere touch will cause trouble. Little wonder the indigenous Emberá people have laced the tips of their blow darts used for hunting with the frog’s toxin for centuries. 

6. Salt water crocodile

The Saltwater Crocodile has been known to eat everything from water buffalo to sharks. The saltwater Crocodile is also known as the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest terrestrial and riparian predator in the world. The salt water crocodile is more short-tempered, easily provoked, and aggressive towards anything that crosses its path. Of all the species in the world, and most dangerous

5. Ascaris roundworms

The Ascaris roundworm leads to an infection called aschariasis that kills an estimated 4,500 people a year, according to a 2013 study. The WHO note that the infection takes place in people's small intestine, and it's disease that affects more children than adult.

4. Freshwater snail

The freshwater snail carries parasitic worms that infect people with a disease called schistosomiasis that can cause intense abdominal pain and blood in the stool or urine, depending on the area that's affected. Millions of people contract the infection, and the WHO estimates that anywhere between 20,000 and 200,000 deaths can be attributed to schistosomiasis. 

3. TseTse fly

This is the world most dangerous fly. A small speck of insect that measures between 8 to 17 mm, or about the same size as the average house fly. Tsetse fly are bloodsucking bugs that feeds during the peak warm hour,

The tsetse fly transmits a disease called sleeping sickness, a parasitic infection that at first can lead to headaches, joint pain, fever and itchiness, but later can lead to some serious neurological problems. 10,000 death rate per year have been recorded.

2. Mosquito

As tiny as this insect is, it is recognized as the second deadliest of flies. The common mosquito is even tinier than the tsetse fly. This popular insect is found in every continent on the planet except Antarctica, 

the irritating insects—primarily those from the genera Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex—are the primary vectors of diseases such as malaria, Chikungunya, encephalitis, elephantiasis, yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus, which collectively afflict an estimated 700 million and kill roughly 725,000 people each year.

1. Humans

After all, we’re animals too, and since we’ve been killing each other for 10,000 years, with the total deaths from war alone estimated at between 150 million and 1 billion (and that was a decade ago), it’s a no-brainer that we top the list. Though human beings are said to be living in the most peaceful period now than at any other time in our history, we still assault each other with incredibly high rates of senseless brutality, from gun violence in cities like Munich and Fort Lauderdale to terrorist attacks around the globe. We're dangerous to other animals, too.
