It may be hard to believe but ants are responsible for about

30 deaths annually.

 

 

BEES

Though they are small, bees have the capacity to kill humans

mainly due to allergic reactions. Around 53 people every year die

from bee related incidents and this number is expected to rise

due to aggressive African honey bees.

 

 

AFRICAN LION

Though humans are not normally part of the lion’s diet

(they prefer animals with more meat), lions have been

known to actively hunt us. In fact, estimates say about

70 people annually die from lions.

 

 

JELLYFISH

Most people know that Jellyfish stings itch like crazy. However,

not many people know that people die every year from jellyfish stings.

In fact, according to The Medical Journal of Australia (Fenner &

Williams, 1996), the jellyfish is responsible for 15-30 times more deaths

each year than all unprovoked shark attacks worldwide.

 

 

TIGERS

Tigers have killed more people than any other big cat. In fact, tens to

hundreds of people are killed by wild tigers annually in tiger-range

states (this is not including those who die from tigers in captivity).

 

 

DEER

Deer have antlers that can fatally kill humans. However, most deer-associated

deaths are caused not by these antlers but by accidents on highways.

Deer often cross highways and stop right in the middle of roads,

causing collisions among vehicles. It is estimated that around

120 people die every year because of deer.

 

 

DOMESTIC DOGS

Dogs are responsible for over a hundred fatalities world-wide. In the

United States alone, about 30 people die annually from dog related

incidents with other high-income countries such as Australia, Canada

and France reporting comparable incidence and fatality rates.

It’s important to note that most aggressive acts caused by dogs are

due to human misconduct.

 

 

CAPE BUFFALO

Cape buffaloes are heavy animals, often weighing 1.5 tons. They stand

tall at 1.7 metres high and are approximately 2.8 metres long.

These animals attack humans by means of their sharp horns especially

when they feel that they are in danger. According to statistics,

they are responsible for 200 deaths per year, over and

above other huge animals.
