Top 10 Deadliest Animals

Here is the list ...............................






10.Mosquito






Most skeeter bites just make you itch. But some mosquitoes carry and transfer malaria causing parasites. As a result, these little pests are responsible for the deaths of more than two million people a year.










 9.Asian Cobra






While the Asian Cobra doesn't hold the title of most venomous snake, it does the most with what it has. Of the 50,000 deaths by snakebite a year, Asian Cobras are responsible for the largest chunk.










8.Australian Box Jellyfish






Also known as the sea wasp, this salad-bowl sized jellyfish can have up to 60 tentacles each 15 feet long. Each tentacle has 5,000 stinging cells and enough toxin to kill 60 humans.








7.Great White Shark






Blood in the water can excite these sharks into a feeding frenzy, where they'll use all 3,000 of their teeth to bite anything that moves.










6.African Lion








Giant fangs? Check. Lightning quick? That too. Razor sharp claws? You betcha. Hungry? You better hope not. These big cats are near perfect hunters.








5.Crocodile




Don't mistake this croc for a log! It can lay still in the water, waiting for passers by. Then, in the blink of an eye, it'll lunge at prey, pulling it under water to drown and dismember.










4.Elephant






Not every elephant is as friendly as Dumbo. Elephants kill more than 500 people a year worldwide. African elephants generally weigh in around 16,000 pounds - all the better to stomp you with - not to mention their sharp tusks.










3.Polar Bear






Sure they might look cuddly at the zoo, but in the wild they eat elephant seals for breakfast. Get between one and its cub and it could easily rip off your head with one swipe of its giant paw.






2.Poison Dart Frog




These pint-sized frogs aren't for kissing. Their backs ooze a slimy neurotoxin that is meant to keep predators away. Each frog produces enough of the toxin to kill 10 humans










1.Human Beings











Man has killed more animals (including himself) than all other animals on Earth. Human beings are the only animal in existence that captures and studies other animals. We are the only animals that hunt and kill for fun.
The human brain can adapt to almost any given situation. Other animals normally take time to adapt to a situation.
Human beings can do enormous damage to the environment which causes more animals to die. Man has introduced nuclear weapons, playing with quantum physics, and introduced global warming.
