The World Top 10 Most Dangerous Animal

1. 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. There are snakes in all parts of the world, but it is in Sri Lanka that they are most active.

2. Funnel-Web Spider

Arachnophobia is a very common fear among the population. Fortunately, spider bites are rat her rare and harmless. But 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.

3. Killer Bees

The killer bees are the result of an experiment gone terribly wrong. Brazilian scientists wanted to breed a new species of honeybee in the 1950s, but some bees escaped and began mating with Brazilian honeybees. The result? The Africanized bee. While they look exactly like a regular bee and are less venomous, they travel in packs and therein lies danger. 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.

4. Crocodile

Crocodile Dundee, The Crocodile Hunter… you’d think this was an animal to inspire fear in people. It is 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.

5. Box Jellyfish

Jellyfish are virtually road bumps in the ecosystem. They have no brain and only serve to eat zooplankton from the world’s oceans. 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 (but mere contact is not always fatal).

6. 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. Hunger, territorial, defence, movement, and mistaken identity are the main reasons for these attacks.

7. Lion

The lion is known as the king of the jungle ,and for good reason. The lion is the top of food in africa. The lounge around all day, hanging out with the family and strike when neccesary. Basicaly a Big Cat, they have razor sharp claws and teeth that can shred any animal including humans. These Beast are impressive but they are not to be missed with. They are fast and lethal, and nothing you can do can stop this african monster from attacking you .

8. 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; it is a vicious beast that charges at humans seemingly for fun. Big game hunters cherish them for their malicious history. These animals spend their time grazing in herds but lone males are known to stray from the group now and then. 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.

9. Elephant

Elephants are perceived to be peaceful and kind. What’s more is that they aren’t a predator. They are known to help other animals and be socially active in their group. While they are not in an epic war against humans they are sment by humanknown to turn on us rapidly, especially as a result of their abuse and harass. 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.

10. Polar Bear

Bears are the puppy-dogs of the wild. They are so cute that people want to pet them… and that would be their first mistake. 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
