We've put together an interesting list of the most dangerous animal in the world by the number of deaths caused by these animals.
10. Sharks (30-100 deaths per year)
Sharks are fish with a skeleton of cartilage. Their body is covered with skin that protects them against parasites and provides less resistance in the water.
9. Jellyfish (over 100 deaths per year)
Jellyfish are marine invertebrates whose body is shaped like a bell with tentacles coming out of it. Some of the species of jellyfish are extremely dangerous as they create toxic substances that can kill even a man.
8. Hippos (over 200 deaths per year)
Hippopotamus is a large African mammal, herbivore.
7. Lions (over 250 deaths per year)
Lions are mammals from the family of cats, and one of four "big cats" from the family panthers. The lion is the second largest cat, immediately after the tiger. Male lion is recognized by its mane, and it weighs between 265 and 500 pounds. Females weigh between 260 and 330. In the wild, lions live about 10-14 years, and in captivity they can survive more than 20 years.
6. Bees (over 400 deaths per year)
Bees are flying insects, closely related to the ants. There are about 20,000 species of bees and they can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
5. Elephants (over 600 deaths per year)
Elephants are mammals from the pachyderm family, and the only remaining representatives of the genus proboscidean. There are three species: African elephant, African forest elephant and Asian elephant.
4. Crocodiles (about 2,000 deaths per year)
Crocodiles are large aquatic reptiles that live in tropical forests of Africa, Asia, America and Australia. There are three types that people usually tend to put under one group: crocodiles, caimans and alligators.
3. Scorpions (over 5,000 deaths per year)
Scorpio is the eight-legged invertebrate that has a poisonous string on its tail.
2. Snakes (over 100,000 deaths per year)
Snakes are cold blooded legless reptiles closely related to lizards. There are several species of lizards without legs, which are often mixed with snakes.
1. Mosquitoes (over 2 million deaths per year due to malaria infection transmitted by these insects)
These insects are well known to everyone in the summer days. They have one pair of wings, slender bodies and long legs. The female mosquitoes usually suck blood from other animals and humans.
