Snakes

   Poisonous snakes kill a total of 100 thousand people each year. In the world there are more than 2500 species of snakes, and only about 700 poisonous, In our country there are 60 species of snakes, 10 of them are poisonous. This is a cobra from the family of aspidids, which inhabits Central Asia, two species of mushrooms - ordinary (or Pallas), living in the steppe, desert, mountainous part of the south and southeast of the CIS countries, and the eastern one, found in the Far East.

Vipers

   The largest snake of the viper family, the gyurza, is found in Central Asia and the Caucasus. In Central Asia there is a small snake - efa. There are also 5 kinds of vipers. The Caucasian, the nosy and the Little Asian vipers are found only in the Caucasus. The most widespread steppe viper inhabiting the steppe and desert zone of the south of the country, and the viper is an ordinary viper living in the forest and forest-steppe zone - from the steppes to the taiga and from the western borders to the southeastern.

Together with the bite of a viper, a substance enters the person's blood that prevents blood clotting. If the injured person does not receive medical care, he may bleed.

Black Mamba

One of the most terrible kinds of snakes in the world, in Africa, mamba is the source of numerous myths and legends. It is widely known for its aggressiveness, speed and that it attacks without provocation from the person.

African Boomsburg

   A long slender snake with a pointed head and large eyes. The length is usually 1.5 m, sometimes slightly larger. The color of its colors is surprising: the females are usually olive brown, and the males have different shades of green or blue, each flake around the rim surrounded by black. By alarm, the snake lifts the front of the trunk. Bumsslan has posterior-mandibular fangs, which is dangerous for humans. The poison prevents the blood from clotting, the victims slowly die, as they bleed from every cut in the body.

Cobra

Poisonous snakes never attack a person first and, after seeing it, usually try to hide. The hissing of the snake serves as a warning signal so that it will not be touched. However, it happens that a person touched the snake without noticing it, and then it defends itself. And cobra. standing in a characteristic pose, for the first time sometimes he just hits his opponent's head, and then he starts using poisonous teeth.

The venom of the royal cobra is mainly neurotoxic. The toxin of the venom blocks muscular contractions, which causes paralysis of the respiratory musculature, respiratory arrest and death. His strength and volume (up to 7 ml) is enough to cause the death of a man in 15 minutes after the first full bite. In such cases, the probability of death may exceed 75%. But, taking into account all the features of the behavior of the royal cobra, in general, only 10% of bites become deadly to humans.

Komodo Varan

   Like polar bears, Komodo island warps consume everything from birds to water buffaloes and humans, they even dig out corpses from shallow graves. They wait patiently for the prey to approach them, attack, cling to the throat and pull it out, then they leave and wait for the bleeding to stop. Because of the small number, they rarely contact the person. They feed once a month.

Leopard

   When most animals are wounded, they escape and hide. Only not leopards. When these dangerous beasts are wounded, they become even more dangerous. It should be remembered that they are strong. Wanting to hide their prey, they drag the dead antelope against the trees.

Snails cones

Snails conidae family Sonidae - night predators, hiding in the afternoon in the sand. These shellfishes are endowed with the nature of a weapon, which in effect resembles a harpoon gun. Together with the impact of a small spike, the victim receives a solid dose of poison, which is also deadly to humans. One drop of its poison is enough to kill 20 people.

It is called a snail-cigarette, because after a bite it passes the time enough to smoke a cigarette, after which there is a fatal outcome.

Cones - the inhabitants of reefs, they represent a great danger for divers.

Sea wasp

   Jellyfish, anemones, coral polyps, annelids, holothurians, sea urchins, starfish, sponges can "burn" or prick a person when in contact with them. The range of consequences is from burning the skin to stopping the heart.

The most poisonous jellyfish - sea waspaw - lives near the shores of Australia. The poison of this beautiful jellyfish paralyzes the human heart muscle, and death occurs within 1-3 minutes. It looks like a usual jellyfish of light green color, but very poisonous. Its 60 tentacles, each slightly less than 40 cm long, have 5,000 shooting tips and enough venom to kill 60 people. Australian fishermen, in whose networks such a "fish" gets caught, are wary of using these networks repeatedly - one can easily rumble to the hospital, the poison detonated by the jellyfish is so strong.

Wartlets

   Warts are sea rays of the Scorpion family. Lying disguised at the bottom of the ocean, they calmly wait for the prey to float past them. Open the mouth with the speed of lightning and swallow their prey - all in less than 0.015 seconds.

The wart is known as the most poisonous fish in the world. If a person steps on her thorns, at best he will lose his leg, and in the worst case - life.

Fish fugu

   Fish fugu is considered one of the most poisonous vertebrates in the world, while it is a delicacy in Japan. The poison of this fish paralyzes the diaphragm and stops breathing, it is waiting for anyone who tastes the dish from the fugu, cooked inappropriately.

Great White Shark

White shark is considered the most dangerous, ferocious and strong of all sharks, she was even given the nickname "white killer". The blood that gets into the water causes them to be active, and they are ready to thrust their 3,000 teeth into everything that moves. Large specimens can cut a man in half. The big white shark is the most cannibal. There were 212 unprovoked attacks on people (data as of the end of 2004), the tiger shark was to blame for 83, the bull shark was to blame for 68 cases of attacks on people (2004).

Rhinoceros

   He is one of the most dangerous animals, he has many deaths on his account. The blame for all is the poor vision of the rhinoceros, which attacks the moving object that appeared in his field of vision, without understanding how dangerous he is to him. Escape from the rhino is impossible, unless you are able to move at a speed of forty miles per hour.

African buffalo

   When faced with a dangerous pursuer, an African buffalo - Syncerus caffer   - attacks him and pierces them with his horns. Growth at the withers in adult males can reach 1.6 m, and length - 3.4 m. The weight of a large specimen can be 900 kg. A much greater danger than a buffalo can represent a herd of buffaloes, in which up to a thousand heads gather. Because of the attacks of this animal, more than 500 people die every year.

It is said that more hunters died from them than from lions. Even on such an old lonely buffalo (his young bulls are driven out of the herd), lions attack only five.

a lion

   This graceful, strong, predatory animal, reaching a weight of 125 kg, on the one hand, causes admiration, worship as a deity of local tribes, and on the other - panic fear when meeting him in the wild savannah. In Tanzania in the early 1990s, there were about forty attacks per year. Over the past couple of years, more than 100 attacks have been recorded annually, with 70 percent of them ending in the death of people. Scientists are concerned that once tasted human meat lions become aggressive and prefer to attack people, not wild animals.

In total, according to biologists, in Africa there are from 23 to 40 thousand lions.

Hyena Dogs

On humans, hyena dogs practically do not attack, although they cause significant harm. There were a lot of cases when hyena dogs ran into villages and even houses, and if they were not expelled, they could attack a herd of sheep and bite in one night up to 100 sheep - this is much more than they need to satisfy hunger. The hyena dogs bite their stomachs, eat their entrails and then escape. They absolutely can not stand domestic cats and dogs - they immediately attack them and kill them.

Bees

   Apis mellifera scutellata is one of the honey bee breeds that originated from the African subspecies. This is a very aggressive insect. Its poison is not stronger, not more toxic than the poison of other bees, but the peculiarity of these insects is that, when attacking a victim or defending, it stings more than once, like most bees, but repeatedly. Their sting does not have strongly pronounced jags, the bee easily removes it from the body of the victim. Otherwise, Apis mellifera scutellata is similar to all other bees. But even the bite of one bee can be dangerous. With individual intolerance, there may be a swelling of the throat. Very dangerous and able to cause death pricks in the eye, in the pharynx, tonsils, soft palate, the lateral surface of the neck. The most sensitive to bee venom are women (especially pregnant women), children and the elderly.

Killer bees were bred in Brazil. It is a hybrid of the African bee Apis mellifera scutellata with various kinds of bees, common in Europe. The bee-killer's sting is not fatal, but these insects are much more irritable than their cousins.

We all heard the expression "hard-working, like a bee". Has anyone heard the phrase "as dangerous as a bee"? No? But in addition to the usual honey bees there are bee-killers living in South, Central and North America.

Australian bee

   Australian bee, sting more than usual. Cold sweat swelling at the site of the bite

Orange fireflies

   Orange fireflies, do not take in hands

Elephant

   Elephants - the family Elephantidae - According to statistics, 600 people die every year. By the way, a frightened or angry elephant can reach speeds of up to 65 km / h, that is, it is quite capable of catching up with a car traveling over rough terrain. This animal is simply too big and strong, it's enough for him to have one awkward movement to kill a crocodile, a lion or a man. So, in India and Bangladesh, elephants have been tempted to steal rice beer from people, as a result, drunken animals trample from 10 to 100 people a year.

Poisonous frogs

Tenth place is rightfully occupied by poisonous frogs living in Central and South America, in Madagascar. On their back are glands that produce toxins. The poison of one single golden frog living in Madagascar, can kill ten people. Consoles one thing - the scientists found that the frog produces toxins gradually and extremely slowly.

The leaf is terrible.

   The most poisonous creature is the frog sheetalus terrible. Only 1 g of the substance released by the skin of this frog can kill several thousand people

Polar bear

   Polar bear - Ursus maritimus   - is considered the largest land predator. In a natural habitat bears eat for breakfast of the northern sea elephant - Mirounga angustirostris.   The length of the bear reaches 3 m, weight up to 1000 kg. Bears are dangerous for hunters: with one stroke of a paw a polar bear is able to tear down a person's head. But in order for the polar bear to attack, it must be provoked. The main reaction of a polar bear to a person is fear, in most cases panic fear, the beast simply escapes, revealing the presence of a person. Yet conflicts or attacks are quite possible.

Crocodiles

   Crocodiles are dangerous to humans in varying degrees. Some never attack a person, others attack often (a combed crocodile), others (for example, the Nile crocodile) are dangerous only in some localities. Some of them are especially dangerous, for example, an African crocodile living in salt water. He is able not only to grab a passing person, but also to run after him on land, overtake, grab and drag him into the water.

Scientists have calculated that crocodiles kill more people than all other animals. Every year more than 2 thousand people die, and the figure not only does not decrease, but even increases.

Scorpions

   Scorpions are extremely common throughout the planet, especially along the 49-1 parallel. Of course, there are a lot of scorpion species - the most dangerous is the black thick-tailed scorpion, capable of killing a camel, not to mention a man. More than 5 thousand human deaths per year - the price that a person pays for the neighborhood with this animal.

Very dangerous thick-tailed scorpion (Androctonus australis), inhabiting Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria to the north of Sudan, and in the east to India. The drop of its toxicity toxin is almost inferior to a drop of cobra venom and, as is known, its sting results in a person's death in 4 hours, and the dogs in 7 minutes. A poisonous scorpion from North Africa and the Middle East causes more than 75% of the deaths associated with scorpion bites every year. Although adults feel severe pain, children suffer from fever, seizures and paralysis, they are threatened with a coma and they may die from pulmonary edema. In Azerbaijan, a case was noted when a black scorpion of a close species (Androctonus crassicaudd) stung an adult man sleeping on the sand, directly into the temple, near the external carotid artery. The man died suddenly. This type of scorpion reaches 8.5 cm in length.

Hippos

   Despite the fact that the hippos are herbivores, they are extremely dangerous for those who make a trip along the river. In Africa, it causes more deaths than any other large animal, including crocodiles or lions. When attacking a person, he uses his head as a battering ram. Very dangerous are his fangs, reaching a length of 50 cm. The hippopotamus is not afraid to attack boats, it is able to turn not too large of them.

The most dangerous are the hippopotamuses protecting their only cub. Suspected of the slightest danger, the female rushes to the enemy, sweeping away everything in its path, and beats to the last. On land, the speed of an angry behemoth female can reach 35 km / h.

Monkey

   Among the dangerous animals is the monkey, which in many tropical countries from the forest moved closer to the city dumps, finding there food for themselves. Often flocks of monkeys attack children and even adults, taking away food, plundering peasant food supplies and emptying city residents' refrigerators. In doing so, they borrow from the person of cunning and manners, sometimes even adopting the habit of knocking on the door to be opened.

Ecology

Exotic safari is one of the most popular tourist attractions. After all, there is little that can match the look of the proud lion that sneaks in the African twilight. However, it is fairly easy to forget that many of these animals can be extremely dangerous.

Despite the fact that these animals rarely attack, if they are not provoked, there are many cases of injuries and death from them, to cause you to tremble in the body.

The most dangerous animals in the world.   Hippopotamus.

Hippo is a huge water mammal, although most of its volume is often hidden under water, leaving only protruding nostrils and eyes. To cool your huge body from the scorching African heat, hippopotamus spend about 16 hours a day, basking in rivers or water. They are pretty graceful swimmers, and it's no wonder that the Greeks called them " river horses".

Why should you be afraid of these seemingly calm animals? First, according to statistics hippopotamus kills more people in Africa every year than any other animals. If you suddenly were unfortunate enough to be near the hippopotamus and its water area, you can be expected by a frightening experience. At short distances, the hippopotamus can be compared in speed to a person, and they do not treat the people who are on their way very kindly.

In fairness, I must say that you really need to be worried only when you are wandering in an unguarded reserve in the middle of the night or swim in your rickety canoe along the river bed, teeming with hippos. Most the best advice that experts give is to stay away from them at a distance.

The largest populations of these amazing animals can be found in East African countries, such as Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique. The Zambezi River is also widely known for high concentrations of hippos, and one of the best places to admire hippo and other animals is Manna Poults National Park   in Zimbabwe.

The most dangerous animals of the planet . Indian cobra.

Indian Cobra is one of the most famous venomous snakes in India. It can be found in Indian mythology and culture, and it is recognized as a powerful Hindu deity. In addition, it is often used by Indian snake charmers. The Indian cobra is one of the snakes " The Big Four"(along with the Malay krai, Russell's viper and ephi), which causes the greatest number of cases of snakebites in the country.

So what happens if you are inadvertently bitten by one of these super-venomous snakes? Post-synaptic neurotoxin paralyzes your muscles, and if you really do not get lucky, it can lead to disturbances in breathing and cardiac arrest. Cobra venom can kill in less than an hour.

If this does not frighten you, then you can find these beautiful snakes in the jungle, in the plains, in the fields, in the cities and in the baskets of snake charmers throughout India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

The top most dangerous animals. Polar bear.

Despite the fact that these animals look very nice and fluffy, do not doubt, polar bears are violent predators. With incredible disguises, webbed fingers for walking on ice, huge front paws that work like oars when swimming, and unharched claws for digging in the snow, these huge carnivores quickly control their prey, which, as a rule, becomes ringed seals. They perfectly adapted to cold arctic conditions, and when food is not enough, they can fall into a state similar to hibernation.

There were cases when polar bears attacked people, and this led to multiple injuries and even death. And, despite the fact that such cases are atypical, it serves as a vivid reminder of the strength of these predators.

Polar bears live in the Arctic, ranging from Canada to Norway, in the US and Russia.

The most dangerous animals in the world (video). A combed crocodile.

With a weight of up to 1000 kg and a length of more than 6 meters, the combed crocodile is considered the largest reptile in the world. These predators are surprisingly well adapted to life in the water.

The long, muscular tail and webbed hind legs help it move easily in the water, while their nostrils, eyes and ears located on the top of the head allow them to surreptitiously catch the prey.

The folding palatine in the back of the throat allows them to feed in water, and its incredibly powerful jaws can cope even with the most "tough" prey.

Clearly designated habitats of crocodiles and strict rules for swimming make crocodiles attacks on humans fairly rare.

In fact, very often the opposite happens, that is, a crocodile can die at the hands of ignorant people. However, in any case, do not approach the crocodile too close.

As a rule, the combed crocodile lives in brackish waters near rivers and coasts. These crocodiles are widespread and inhabit the coastal waters of Sri Lanka, the east coast of India, southeast Asia and northern Australia.

The most dangerous animals of the planet. A lion.

African lion - the largest cat on the continent, often becomes a subject of attention of fans of safari. At a weight of about 120-240 kg, sharply protruding claws, a powerful upper part of the trunk and sharp teeth, these sneaking representatives of the cat family, seem to have been created in order to kill. Lions are hunted alone or by joint groups, called prides, which are usually headed by the eldest lioness. They pursue their prey until they get close enough to attack, and then rush to their potential "dinner", knocking it down to the ground, before making a mortal capture around the throat.

Known cases where lions attacked and killed people. The fearsome stories of lions' attacks can catch up with fear no matter how often it happened.

And yet the lions are worthy of admiration for their predatory power. Lviv can be seen in many African parks of Kenya and Botswana, and the greatest concentration is recorded in Tanzania and Kruger National Park   in South Africa.

Rating of the most dangerous animals. African buffalo.

Despite the fact that the African buffalo has similar characteristics to cattle, it is not wrong to believe that these hoofed animals are calm and tame. Buffaloes can form massive herds, which gives them quantitative advantages. It often happens that the herd begins to protect its counterpart from attack by powerful predators, such as lions.

Buffaloes are impressive, huge herbivores with thick horns and a clear gaze. The hunters have included the buffalo in the "Big Five" list, since these bulky animals are very dangerous for hunting, especially if they are injured when they attack.

The distribution of buffalo is very wide and the largest populations are in sub-Saharan Africa, including Serengeti National Park   and Kilimanjaro National Park   in Tanzania, as well as reserve Masai Mara   in Kenya and Kruger National Park   in South Africa.

The most dangerous marine animals. Kubeduzzy.

Kubomeduza won the honorary title of " the most toxic creature in the ocean"Being not quite a jellyfish, it has a series of long tentacles, the length of which can reach three meters, decorated with microscopic stings, which can cause unbearable pain or quick death in an unfortunate victim.

It is believed that the poison of this animal is enough to kill 60 people. And although not many people became victims of untimely death from the tentacles of cubomeduz, contact with this poisonous representative can cause death even before you reach the shore.

If, in spite of everything, you want to admire the cubomeduz, you will need to take care of the underwater equipment. Kubomeduzy live in Australia and New Guinea, the Philippines and Vietnam.

The top most dangerous animals in the world. Fat Scorpion Scorpion.

Scorpions of the genus Androcotonus   are considered very dangerous animals that every year, several human lives are carried out. The name of this scorpion came from a large tail, on which there is a powerful sting for the injection of a poison victim.

One of the reasons why this scorpion is considered dangerous is its proximity to the habitat of people. Unfortunately, quite often these representatives hide in crevices of stone or brick walls. If you are a lover of scorpions, you can find it in many countries of Asia and North Africa, including Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, India, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

The most dangerous animals in Africa. Elephant.

If you are in the reserve, then it will be easy for you to find these colossal thick-skinned representatives. African elephants are the largest terrestrial mammals on Earth   and may form herds consisting of more than 100 representatives. The adult male African elephant weighs about 6 tons, and the height at the withers is just over 3 m.

Elephants are charismatic creatures that form close social ties and use complex vocalization for communication. Unfortunately, the human invasion of the territory of elephants led to a number of conflicts. So, between 2000 and 2004 in the Indian state Jharkhand   it was recorded about 300 cases of people killing people with elephants. Some scientists believe that elephant attacks on people are caused by severe trauma, which was facilitated by shooting, poaching and loss of habitats.

Nevertheless, meeting with an elephant in a safari is an exciting and beautiful spectacle. If you want to admire African elephants, you can choose from 37 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Asian elephants can be found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.

Which animal is the most dangerous. Mosquito.

It's unlikely you want to meet this mosquito. The best treatment is prevention, and therefore, if you are going to visit African countries known for malarial outbreaks, then it is best to stock up on mosquito repellent.

The animal world is rich and diverse, and each species seeks to survive in it. Not so many animals pose a great danger to humans, and mostly such species live far from people. However, there are animals that are not so terrible at first glance, but in reality they carry a mortal danger. In this rating of the most dangerous animals of the planet are entered as fairly small poisonous, and large and strong animals.

Opens the list of an animal that lives almost as close to a person as a cat, but less friendly and more dangerous. The rat is a rodent of the mouse family. In the genus there are about 70 species. Widespread are two synanthropic species - gray and black rats. The body length of rats is from 8 to 30 centimeters, the length of the tail is equal to the length of the body or even more, the mass is from 37 to 420. The body color is dominated by dark gray or gray-brown tones, but yellow, red and orange shades occur. The toes on the paws are mobile - this compensates for the insufficient development of calluses required for climbing.

Rats are a natural reservoir of many zoonotic and anthropozoonotic infections. They carry the pathogens of plague, tularemia, rabies, typhus, toxoplasmosis, leptospirosis, rickettsiosis, sodoku and other diseases. In the United States, rats bite at least 14,000 people annually. According to the City Disinfection Center, in Moscow in 2008, rats were bitten by 506 people, so these kids are quite dangerous animals for humans. Rats also cause great economic damage, eating and spoiling food and non-food products, and sometimes damaging electrical networks, which can lead to fires. Also, some types of rats cause damage to agriculture, eating crops.

Komodo Varan is a kind of lizards from the family of lizards, the largest representative of lizards. Komodo lizards live on several islands of Indonesia, located in the group of Small Sunda Islands. Wild adult Komod dragons weigh about 70 kilograms, but in captivity reach and larger sizes. The length of the tail is about half the total length of the body. The color of adult lizards is dark brown, usually with small yellowish spots and speckles; on their back they have red orange-orange and yellowish eye-spots on their back, merging into bands on the neck and tail. The teeth of the Komodo Varan are compressed from the sides and have serrate cutting edges. These teeth are well suited for tearing large pieces of meat into pieces.

Sexual maturity of animals of this species reach about the tenth year of life, to which only a small part of the borne lizards survive. Varanas eat a variety of animals - both vertebrates and invertebrates. They also have cannibalism, especially during the famine years. It is proved that Komodo lizards have a poisonous bite, they have two poisonous glands in the lower jaw. The functions of the poison include inhibiting the coagulation of blood, lowering blood pressure, muscle paralysis, and developing hypothermia leading to shock and loss of consciousness in the bitten victim.

Komodo lizards are one of the planet's potentially dangerous animals, although there is no direct danger to adults. After a bite, immediately consult a doctor. The number of deaths due to untimely medical assistance reaches 99%. Children are especially vulnerable. Varanas may well kill a child under 10 years of age or cause severe injuries. It is well known cases of digging human corpses from shallow tombs. Varanov they can locate the source of the smell of blood at a distance of up to 5 km. Varanes are under threat of extinction, they are prohibited by law.

Drevolazy are frogs from the family of tailless amphibians, which emit the strongest poison. This family unites about 130 species of frogs of four genera inhabiting South and Central America. These frogs do not have teeth, and on the extremities there are no swimming membranes. The terminal phalanges of the fingers are expanded into suction discs. These discs allow dairymen to move easily along branches and leaves. Dimensions drevolazov from 18 millimeters to 4 centimeters, only some species reach 7 centimeters. The coloring of woodwinds is very bright and contrasting, the most varied in color gamma among amphibians. Drevolazy painted in red, blue, yellow, green, orange colors, in general the tone can be drawn from a pattern of different bands and spots. This kind of frogs may be an unexpected answer to the question - which animals are dangerous to humans.

The poison of woodworms has a cardiotoxic effect and causes a cardiac arrest. The poison is contained in the cutaneous excreta of woodworms, thus protecting them from predators. Many native tribes of South America used this poison to grease hunting arrows. Most of the representatives of this family are arboreal inhabitants, but there are also terrestrial species that live mainly along the banks of water bodies. They feed on wood dwarfs. All daylilies are daytime, and therefore convenient for observation.

The wolf is a predatory mammal of the dog family, which is the direct ancestor of the domestic dog. The wolf is the largest and most dangerous animal in its family: its body length (without tail) can reach 160 centimeters, tail up to 52 centimeters, height at withers up to 90 centimeters; body weight up to 86 kilograms. A total of approximately 32 subspecies of the wolf, differing in size and shades of fur. Previously, the wolf was much more common in Eurasia and North America. Nowadays, the total number of animals has decreased noticeably, mainly due to urbanization and mass extermination.

The basis of feeding the wolves are ungulate animals, and the behavior of these wild animals has not changed for hundreds of years. Wolves are also attacked by domestic animals, gophers, foxes, mouse rodents, do not miss the chance to eat eggs, chicks or eggs. They are active mainly at night. Out of the outer senses, the wolf is best developed hearing, a little worse - the sense of smell; vision is much weaker. Well developed nervous activity is combined in wolves with strength, agility, speed and other physical data. If necessary, the wolf speeds up to 60 km / h and is able to make transitions up to 80 kilometers per night.

When attacking a herd, wolves often cut several animals, tearing their throats or ripping off their belly. Uneaten meat of wolves are left in reserve. There were cases of wolf attack on a man. Mentally the wolf is highly developed. This is expressed in the ability to navigate in an environment and move away from danger, as well as in the ways of hunting. There are cases when a pack of wolves separated, and one part remained in ambush, and the other was catching up on its prey. In a pack that pursues an elk or a deer, often some wolves run along the heels of the victim, while others - on the cross or run slowly and, resting, replace the advanced ones, until they take the victim by the sea.

Hippopotamus or hippopotamus is a mammal from a group of cloven-hoofed animals, an order of pigs, a family of behemoths. One of the largest modern land animals, whose weight sometimes exceeds 4 tons. Currently, the hippopotamus lives only in Africa - about 140 thousand individuals. Previously, the closest relatives of hippopotamuses were pigs, but now scientists consider them to be whales. A characteristic feature of the hippopotamus is its semi-aquatic lifestyle - most of the time it spends in the water, leaving on land only at night for several hours for feeding.

Despite the wide popularity of the hippopotamus, in many respects this animal has not been studied enough. This applies to a number of features of his lifestyle and behavior, as well as genetic links with other animals, physiology and much more. The behavior of these wild animals is marked by aggressive aggressiveness. The fights of the hippopotamus often lead to the death of one of the participants. Cases of attack by a hippo on a person are also very frequent. The hippopotamus, according to some data, is the most dangerous beast of Africa - from its attacks many more people die, than from attacks of lions, buffaloes or leopards.

Rhinoceroses are a family of equidistant mammals, containing five species, common in Africa and Asia. The main distinguishing feature of rhinoceroses are horns on the nose, the largest of which was 158 centimeters long. The rhinoceroses have a massive body and short, thick limbs. Each of them has three fingers, ending with wide hoofs. The rhinoceroses have poor eyesight, however this defect is compensated by a refined sense of smell and excellent hearing. Rhinoceroses live alone, but in savannahs can also be combined into small groups.

In the rhino day they sleep, they can be active at twilight and at night. These are very timid and cautious animals, avoiding closeness to man. However, if they feel threatened, they attack. And although these attacks are poorly aimed due to poor vision, they can lead to severe injuries due to the huge force and sharp horn. Having dispersed, the rhinoceros can reach a speed of 45 km / h. In adults, rhinoceroses, in addition to man, there are no enemies.

The African elephant is the largest land animal on the planet, the genus of African mammals of the proboscis squad. It includes two modern types: the elephant elephant and the forest elephant. Recent studies suggest that these two species were formed 1.9 and 7.1 million years ago. The average weight of males is 5 tons, females 2.5-3 tons, but among them there are real giants up to 4 meters high and weighing 12 tons. The thickness of their skin reaches 2-4 cm. According to the latest estimates, about 500-600 thousand African elephants remain in the wild. All species of the genus are listed in the Red Book. From predators to adult elephants, only humans hunt, mainly because of tusks. Of the sense organs, the elephant has the most developed sense of smell and hearing.

In addition to man, the enemy has almost no enemies. At the moment of danger, the elephant represents a very formidable force. Attacking, he presses his ears to his neck, hides the trunk for the tusks, which he brings forward with a sharp movement. At the same time he makes a shrill, shrill sound resembling a hoarse bugle. The African elephant has both males and females armed with tusks. But the females of the tusks are small. But the tusks of old males sometimes reached a length of 3-3.5 meters with a mass of about 100 kg each. Sexual maturity occurs at the elephant to 12-20 years, and old age and death to 60-70 years. Still these animals have an excellent memory. They perfectly remember all members of their family, abusers and those who do good for them. To the abuser they can get revenge after many years if they meet again, of course.

The polar bear is the largest land representative of predator mammals, a close relative of the brown bear. Occurs in the circumpolar regions in the northern hemisphere of the Earth. Its length reaches 3 meters, weight up to 1 ton. Usually males weigh 400-450 kilograms, body length 200-250 centimeters, height at withers up to 150 cm. Females are noticeably smaller - 200-300 kilograms. White bear from other bears are distinguished by a long neck and a flat head. His skin is black. The soles of the feet are lined with wool, so as not to slide over the ice and do not freeze. Between the fingers there is a swimming membrane, and the front part of the paws is trimmed with rigid bristles. Large claws can even hold strong prey.

These are very dangerous dikia animals, as the beast runs very fast, and one blow of a powerful paw is capable of killing any. Even leaving, turning his back, when meeting with a polar bear is absolutely impossible. In a critical situation experienced people always go to meet the beast, showing all their appearance that they are not afraid of it. At the same time they make loud, twitching sounds that threaten the bearish language. Man, by virtue of its structure, has no interest for a powerful predator. Therefore, a bear never hunts bipeds, but prefers to leave if it sees them in dangerous proximity. The cases of attacking a polar bear per person are more likely to be an exception than a rule.

African buffalo - a kind of bulls, widespread in Africa. This is the largest of the bulls. The weight of adult males sometimes exceeds 1000 kilograms, and specimens weighing 900 kg are not uncommon. The height at the withers in adult males is up to 1.8 meters with a body length of about 3 meters. The population of buffaloes in Africa has remained, in comparison with the number of other large animals on the continent, quite well, although it experiences strong pressure from the human side. African buffalo is a herd animal. Usually there are groups of 20-30 animals that gather in the herds during the dry season, but then the herds can number many hundreds of animals.

There are few enemies in the nature of buffaloes, because of the large size and huge strength of an adult buffalo - an unbearable prey for most predators. Cows and calves, however, often become prey to lions, which cause significant damage to buffalo herds, attacking a whole pride. When protected from enemies, these wild animals of Africa usually show mutual assistance and act as friendly groups. Many cases have been described, when the buffaloes not only drove lions from the herd, but even killed them. It is interesting that buffalo is characterized by a sense of mutual assistance, clearly visible in the attack of enemies.

The top three most dangerous animals of the world are the combed crocodile, a reptilian family of real crocodiles. This is the largest species widespread among crocodiles. Most often it occurs on the coast of northern Australia on the islands of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. Although the crocodiles spend most of their time in the water, we added them to the list of land animals, and not to the list. The ability to make long voyages on the high seas explains the widespread distribution of this species. Males can reach a length of 7 meters, and females 3 meters. Adult males weigh up to 1000 kilograms. The name "combed" this crocodile received for a pair of powerful crests, coming from the eyes almost to the front third of the muzzle.

The combed crocodile is an active predator. The main food of crocodiles is insects, amphibians, fish, birds. Adult individuals attack large animals: turtles, monkeys, wild boar, deer, etc. Meeting with other wild animals often occurs at the watering place, where the crocodile searches for a victim. Hunting, the crocodile behaves pretty cleverly. First he traces his prey, being completely in the water. On the surface, only the nostrils, eyes and part of the back are visible. When the victim is nearby, the crocodile rushes abruptly, grabs it and drags it to the bottom. Crocodiles are also cannibals, but on land rarely attack. Only when a person loses vigilance. If a crocodile attacked a person, then the rest can only observe how the predator drags his prey to the bottom. In this situation nothing can be done.

Taipan is a genus of very poisonous snakes of the family of aspids. Large Australian snakes, whose bite is considered the most dangerous among modern snakes wild wildlife - before the development of an antidote to it from the bite of the taipan, died in more than 90% of cases. According to various estimates, the third largest poisonous in the world and the largest poisonous snake in Australia, up to 3.3 meters in length. Because of its aggressive nature, large size and speed, taipan is considered the most dangerous of all the venomous snakes on the planet. It inhabits the coasts of North and North-East Australia and the southeast of New Guinea. Mainly a daily way of life. It feeds on frogs and small mammals, including mice and rats.

Toxic teeth up to 13 mm in length. The poisonous glands of the taipan contain up to 400 milligrams of poison, which it injects through its 12 millimeter teeth. Taipan venom predominantly blocks muscular contractions, which causes paralysis of respiratory muscles and disrupts blood clotting. Taipan is very aggressive and quick: when you see danger, he lifts his head, shaking it, then lightly strikes the enemy several times in a row. A taipan bite can lead to death in 4-12 hours, whereas a person bitten by other most venomous snakes man lives for about a day. In the state of Queensland, where taipans are found most often, every second bitten dies.

So we came to the first place of our rating of the most dangerous animals of the world, where the king of beasts is sitting - the African lion. This beast is a representative of the species of predatory mammals, one of four representatives of the genus Panther, belonging to the subfamily of large cats in the family of felines. It is the second largest cat after the tiger. Formerly inhabited throughout Africa, now only to the south of the Sahara and a small population in the Indian state of Gujarat. Who would have thought that the most terrible and dangerous animals in the world are big cats.

The appearance of the lion is very characteristic. This is one of the few predators with pronounced sexual dimorphism. Males are not only much larger than females, but have a mane, which in some subspecies reaches a large development and covers the shoulders, part of the back and chest. The lion is the heaviest after the tiger, the mass of adult lions can reach 250 kilograms in males and 182 in females. Lions have powerful legs, strong jaws, and fangs have a length of 8 cm, so these predators are able to kill large enough animals. The length of the body of the lion reaches 250 centimeters in males and 175 in females. The height in the shoulders is about 123 centimeters in males and 107 in females.

Unlike other felines, they do not live alone, but in special family groups - pride. Lions hunt in coordinated groups and pursue the chosen victim. However, they are less hardy than, for example, hyenas, meaning that lions can run fast only for short distances and during the attack should be close to their prey. Lions sneak up to the herd of ungulates until the distance decreases to 30 meters and less.

In most cases, several lionesses surround him from different angles. Once the herd is surrounded, they attack the nearest animal. Then a fast and powerful attack occurs. Predators try to catch their victim by a quick jump. Meeting with such wild animals usually ends in death. An animal pursued by lions, as a rule, dies from strangulation or suffocation. Small animals can be killed with a paw. Females make the main part of the hunt. Males, as a rule, do not participate in it, except for the cases when the victim is a large animal - for example, a giraffe or a buffalo. In nature, lions live from ten to fourteen years, in captivity they can live longer than twenty years.

1. Mosquitoes

Ironically, because of these miniature insects, almost 3 million people die each year.
It is noteworthy that on Earth there are more than 1 thousand species of mosquitoes. From mosquitoes these
insects differ in brown-gray or yellow color.
Dangerous are not the mosquitoes themselves or their bites, but the fact that they are carriers of many
fatal diseases, which include:

1. leishmaniasis;
2. dengue fever;
3. yellow fever;
4. malaria.

In nature, mosquitoes prefer to live in hollows of trees or in animal burrows. AT
urban environment, these insects can live in burrows of home rodents, as well as in cellars. For
in order to multiply, mosquitoes need the compulsory availability of water in which they
lay their larvae down. It is also worth noting that the vast majority of mosquitoes bite
people at night, and especially after sunset.

2. Toxic snakes

It is not at all surprising that the poisonous snakes are
100 thousand deaths around the world.
About 2,5 thousand species of snakes are known all over the world, among which 7 hundred are considered very
poisonous. The following table shows some of the most venomous snakes and places where they are
live in nature.

From this table, and in general the most venomous snake in the world is considered Taipan, the poison of which is capable
to deprive a person of life in only 45 minutes. It is worth noting that this poisonous reptile has
quite shy character, and therefore the tarpan rarely creeps out to the surface.
The most poisonous snake from the family of Gadyukovs is a gurza. The viper's bite is dangerous because
saliva of this animal into the bloodstream of a person gets a substance that prevents coagulation
blood. If the person who was bitten by a viper does not receive medical help on time, then he
simply bleed.
Very dangerous are the cobra, which have poisonous teeth. Deadly power of a cobra
is a poison that has a neurotoxic effect, and its action causes a stop
respiration and possible fatal outcome.

3. Hippo

At the zoo, these clumsy and fat animals at first glance seem very ridiculous and
funny, when they open the jaws so that guests of the zoo treat them with all sorts of goodies.
However, in nature these animals are far from harmless, since they can develop a huge speed
(especially in water). For example, during mating games these fat people turn into real wild
beasts that are capable of killing anyone who will stop them. Features that make a hippopotamus considered
very dangerous animal:

1. the fangs of an animal, the length of which can reach half a meter, are very dangerous;
2. hippos are not afraid to attack small boats passing by, and therefore can even turn them over;
3. the female of the hippopotamus, when protecting her cub, can develop a speed of up to 35 kilometers per hour.

4. Bees

These useful insects can be extremely dangerous. So, after the bee stings, its
the sting remains under the skin of the victim. In this case, the stinger contains a poison that can cause a person
or the animal has severe allergic reactions (eg, Quincke's edema). Most often bees
attack with a large swarm, which can cause the death of their victims. The most aggressive kind
bees is a honey bee African bee that has the following features:

1. its poison is not too poisonous;
2. attacks the victim, stinging it repeatedly (due to the fact that the sting of this bee does not have a notch, and therefore it is easily removed);
3. attacks with swarms.

5. The Elephant

Strangely enough, almost 6 hundred people die from these beautiful animals every year. So,
enraged elephant can reach speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour, and therefore can easily catch up
moving with an average speed car. This animal is so large that one of it
an awkward movement is enough to cause deadly damage to another animal or
man. For example, in some countries elephants have learned to steal beer made on the basis of
rice. As a result, intoxicated animals are trampled from tens to hundreds of people each year.

6. Tigers and lions

At first sight these cute animals do not seem too aggressive. but
a few attacks indicate that they still have
an excellent hunting talent. Thus, more than a hundred attacks on people are registered each year, 70
percent of which end in a lethal outcome.

7. Sharks and killer whales

Behind these animals has long been entrusted the title of "predators of the seas and oceans". So, from the teeth of these
large marine animals, namely sharks, every year three hundred people die. Surprisingly,
orcas are more dangerous animals than sharks. The killer whales are distinguished by the following
features that make them real hunters:

1. sharp mind;
2. ingenuity in the attack;
3. the ability to take revenge on their offenders.

8. Toxic frogs

These poisonous creatures mainly live in South and Central America, as well as on the island
Madagascar. These deadly animals differ in that they have on their backs poisonous
the glands that produce deadly toxins.
For example, the poisonous substance of one golden frog, which lives on the island of Madagascar,
can kill 10 people.
The most poisonous frog is considered to be awful sheetworm. So, just one gram of this poison is extremely
a dangerous creature can lead to several thousand deaths.

9. Crocodiles

These toothy animals are very dangerous for humans, but they can not always attack. So, on
a man very often attacked precisely combed crocodiles, and, for example, the Nile crocodiles
create danger only in some localities. Especially dangerous is the African
crocodile, who prefers to live in salt water. He can attack a person not
only in water, but also can pursue it by land, and catching it, for example, by the foot, with ease
can drag it under the water.
According to statistics, more than two thousand people die each year from crocodile teeth,
which is more than the number of victims killed by other wild animals. Also scientists
argue that the danger from crocodiles is growing every year.

10. Scorpions

These animals are very common throughout the Earth. Of course, there are also the most poisonous
representatives. For example, the most deadly is the black-tailed scorpion,
who with his poison can kill not only a man, but even a large camel. So, from the poisonous
a sting of scorpions annually kills more than five thousand people.
Also very dangerous is the thick-tailed scorpion, which mainly lives in Algeria,
Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. So, just a drop of the poison of this scorpion is capable of killing a person
for 4 hours. This representative of scorpions annually causes 75 percent
deaths among those that occur due to the bite of a scorpion.
A scorpion bite can cause the following serious symptoms in a person:

1. severe pain at the bite site;
2. fever;
3. convulsions;
4. paralysis;
5. coma;
6. pulmonary edema.

11. Spiders

These creatures have a bad reputation, which was created not by chance. These creatures are not capable of
only cause significant damage to human health, but also deprive him of his life. By the 5 most
dangerous spiders in the world include:

1. Brazilian wandering spider, which is the most poisonous spider in the world. For this figure, he was even brought to the Guinness Book of Records. These terrible creatures dwell in Central and South America. This spider is dangerous because the antidote to it often does not work, and therefore the person who bites this species, often dies.
2. Sydney spider or Funnel-web is also one of the most deadly spiders in the whole world. This spider is dangerous because it lives only one hundred kilometers from the capital of Australia, namely in densely populated regions. This arthropod is very aggressive and at the slightest irritation strive to attack. The Sydney spider is "equipped" with large canines, which several times can bite its prey.
3. A six-eyed sandy spider, the toxin of which is capable of destroying blood vessels. As a result of the bite, the victim may die from cerebral hemorrhage. Fortunately, this deadly spider lives away from people.
4. A hermit spider from Chile is dangerous because it can get into a person's clothes or in a dwelling. The venom of this arthropod can cause acute renal failure, which can lead to death.
5. Black widow is considered one of the most famous representatives of poisonous arthropods. It is known that the name of this species was due to the fact that the female eats the male after the mating process. Due to the large canines, the black widow's female is able to inject a huge amount of poison into the body of the victim, which causes paralysis in the animal or person, and without the use of an antidote can lead to death.

12. Jellyfish

Yes, jellyfish can also be deadly and very dangerous. The most dangerous is the jellyfish
called the sea wasp. The poison of this jellyfish is so strong that the fishermen do not even take risks
use the network to which this poisonous creature enters. Since you can simply get into
hospital with a severe lesion. This sea creature can easily kill
tentacles of a careless person.

13. Piranhas

More than 300 people die each year from the sharp teeth of these bloodthirsty fish, like the blade.
Aggressive piranhas attack any living thing that accidentally falls into their abode.

Bears

These large animals are safe only behind the strong grilles of the zoo. However, in nature
bears are cruel enough, because they have a large body, sharp teeth, heavy weight and strong
limbs, which gives them the opportunity to hunt well. Often bears become victims of
people who accidentally fall into their territory.

15. African bull

This is a massive horned creature that lives in African savannahs, when attacked
uses exactly his horns. Every year, because of the African buffalo, up to half a thousand people die.
So, it is believed that from these large bulls killed more hunters than from lions.

Nature and all of its creatures, large and small, are a constant source of miracles for scientists and all others. Nobody can compete with the powerful paws of a brown bear from Alaska or with the ferocity of a hippopotamus who has rushed at you. Nevertheless, not all creatures of nature seem to us aggressive and scary at first glance. Some of them look just charming and cute animals.

Canadian otters look very playful and sweet, but if they feel threatened, they can throw themselves at a person. Given that these 14-kilogram animals have an impressive muscle mass, their claws and teeth present a very real threat to humans.

Looking at a fugu fish with its big eyes and funny muzzle expressions, it's impossible not to think that it's funny. However, one prick of a thorn of this fish can kill a person. They produce a very strong neurotoxin, known as tetrodotoxin. From this poison tongue and lips grow numb, nausea, loss of orientation begins, followed by numbness and showing in the whole body. Then the blood pressure drops and muscle paralysis sets in. These fish are charming, but deadly.

Below, we will talk about the top ten of the smallest and most deadly creatures on Earth.

10. A terrible leafolase (Golden Poison Frog)

These frogs, painted in bright colors, such as red, yellow, blue and ink-black, represent a truly beautiful sight. In addition, they are very small in size, because the size of an adult does not exceed the size of the thumb on the person's arm. However, their color is an excellent example of the fact that a bright color warns of danger and signals to stay away.

This frog is endemic to tropical forests in the territory from Brazil to Peru. Local tribes for many centuries fought each other, using the poison of these frogs. On the skin of one frog, there is enough neurotoxin to kill two adult elephant males or ten people. Wetting the tips of their arrows in the discharge from the frogs' skin, the Aborigines created deadly weapons to fight their enemies.

People going on a trip to the Brazilian Atlantic forest should take note of this, as recently scientists discovered in this forest seven previously unknown but no less poisonous species of these frogs.

9. Irukandji jellyfish



  Kubomeduzy, living in the coastal waters off many coasts from northern Australia to Florida, is a truly fascinating sight.

They are supernatural, ethereal, fabulous and deadly.

These creatures, since their tentacles are overfilled with toxin. It is believed that their poison is 100 times more potent than the cobra and 1000 times worse than the poison of the tarantula. Impressive figure for a creature the size of one cubic centimeter.

These tiny jellyfish shoot tentacles in their victims. Because of their tiny size, their bites can not immediately be felt during an attack. However, within 30 minutes, the victims begin to complain of severe headaches, nausea, abdominal pain and sweating. Without emergency treatment, the victims begin tachycardia, blood pressure rises and a heart attack occurs.

At the moment there is no antidote. Treatment is carried out by the immediate introduction of magnesium into the bloodstream of the patient. A distant relative of the jeluzi jirukandji, known as the sea wasp (Chironex fleckeri) kills more people every year than sharks and crocodiles combined.

8. The Palestinian Scorpion (Deathstalker Scorpion)



  "Leiurus quinquestriatus" is a species of scorpion, endemic to North Africa. It also lives in the Middle East. The length of the body of these creatures reaches about eight centimeters, and the color varies from green to golden yellow. Some people keep these scorpions as exotic pets.

Nevertheless, representatives of this species are considered the most deadly of all scorpions in the world. Their poison is a combination of neurotoxins, the toxicity level of which varies from 0.16 to 0.50 milligrams per kilogram. This indicates that this species has one of the most toxic poisons in the world. The bite of the Palestinian yellow scorpion always leads to anaphylactic shock and death from the accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Even with the timely introduction of an antidote, there is always a chance that the poison will be resistant to treatment.

7. Blue-Ringed Octopus



  Do not let yourself be deluded by the 50 blue, shimmering rings that cover the yellow skin of this ocean inhabitant on the back and sides. These creatures live in shallow waters and among coral reefs in the eastern part of the Indo-Pacific, off the coasts of Japan and southern Australia. At one glance at this octopus one should swim in the opposite direction.

Their beautiful color and small size leads to the fact that people sometimes stroke them and even take them in their arms. However, if these creatures feel threatened, they bite and release a neurotoxin, which is 1200 times more potent than cyanide.

This tetrodotoxin causes paralysis and respiratory arrest for several minutes from the moment of the bite, which quickly leads to cardiac arrest. At the moment, there is no antidote to tetrodotoxin of the blue-ringed octopus.

6. Spiders



  Did you know that some spiders eat birds and even snakes? Believe me, you do not want to meet on your way a golden spider, the body, whose body grows to 5 centimeters (not including the swing of the paws).

However, in this list, we will tell you about a smaller spider, known as the red-spine spider. The body length of the males of red spines is 4 millimeters, and females can grow up to 1 centimeter. The red spine, endemic to Australia, has landed in New Zealand, Belgium and Japan, hiding in boxes with grapes for export.

This species is closely related to spiders of the species black widow, and their poison is no less poisonous to vertebrates. This poison is a mixture of neurotoxins. Scientists have discovered that a spider can control how much poison it lets in. This means that some victims may experience only a painful rash after a bite, while others develop a disease known as latradeectism, the symptoms of which include general soreness, muscle rigidity, vomiting, sweating, and puffiness spreading from the affected area .

5. The Tsetse fly



Home flies with their bulging eyes are one of the most disgusting flies in the world. However, even they fade in comparison with the threat that tsetse flies carry in themselves. This fly, armed with a proboscis acting as a syringe, transfers the disease between species via biological blood transfer and mechanical contact.

4. Fleas



  If you have pets, then you, most likely, had to face this misfortune. However, the danger of fleas is not only that they make you scratch your corgi. If we consider them from a historical point of view, it can be noted that they were the main way to spread the bubonic plague. Feeding on the blood of infected rats, and then biting people, they contributed to the rapid spread of the disease.

3. Pfeffer's flamboyant cuttlefish



  Cuttlefish Pfeffer, which is cephalopod, as well as the blue-ringed octopus, lives near the coast of Australia, the Philippines, New Guinea, Indonesia and Malaysia. Despite its small size (from 5 to 8 centimeters in length), this creature is a brave predator, which attracts prey by its ability to instantly change color. They completely control their complex nervous system, which allows them to change their color and skin texture in the blink of an eye.

Do not be misled by beautiful colors, this cuttlefish produces a neurotoxin, which by its strength is not inferior to the poison of the blue-crowned octopus. According to experts, the poison is contained in the cuttlefish tissues, so it is necessary to handle it with extreme caution.

2. Snail cone



  As a rule, people do not think that snails can be poisonous, nevertheless, there are such snails among reefs. Underneath their shell is a kind of tooth that snails like a harpoon to catch fish.

This tooth is hollow inside, and outside it is covered with thorns and poison, which instantly paralyzes the fish. However, this poison is strong enough to. The members of the cone family have several harpoons with which they can aim and shoot at any moment. Harpoons are fired by larger snails and their tools can pierce gloves and suits for scuba diving, so people are not advised to take them in hand.

The venom of cones is a complex combination that varies depending on the species. Symptoms of bite include localized pain, numbness and vomiting. In severe cases, there is muscle paralysis, blurred vision, breathing disorder and death.

1. Fowler's Fangler (Brain-Eating Amoeba)



  Fowler's Fagler is a free living amoeba, living in fresh warm pools, soil and swimming pools that are not treated with bleach. It causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis. Fowler Fagler is notorious for the high mortality from the disease caused by her. People complain of headaches within the first two weeks after infection. As the amoeba continues to feed on the nervous tissue, the victims experience nausea, vomiting and stiff neck. Then the victims have confusion and hallucinations, after which death occurs within five days.

This amoeba is spread all over the world, as cases of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis have been detected in countries such as India, Iran, Taiwan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Venezuela.

In nature, a large size, a lot of teeth and the sharpest claws do not mean that you will be the highest predator. People should respect all creatures, large and small. You can never say with certainty which creature will be the most dangerous for you.
