This Is The Most Dangerous Animal On Earth

00:00 - When most people think of dangerous animals, the first things that come to mind are Lions and Tigers, Hippo’s, and Saltwater Crocodiles. While these animals are certainly dangerous, the chances of us coming into contact with one in a rural city are almost slim to none. So what really is the most dangerous animal in the world? 

00:19 - There are the most aggressive, the most poisonous, and the deadliest animals running all over the planet each with having their own dangerous reason of why you don’t want to run into them face to face.

00:40 - If you happen to live on the continent of Africa, you probably need to watch out for another dangerous animal aside from hippos and crocodiles… The Tsetse Fly. It is often regarded as the world’s most dangerous fly which measures only 8-17 millimeters, which is about the same size as an average house-fly. These flies are nasty bloodsucking bugs that feed during very warm hours of the day. But it’s not the fact that they are little vampires that make them dangerous, their true terror lies in the single-celled parasites they spread which are called ‘Trypanosomes’. 

1:41 - Sometimes you end up being surprised when you find out something about a typically normal creature and learn that it’s more dangerous than you possibly imagined. We’re talking about Freshwater Snails. You heard that right. Those harmless looking things slowly crawling around in your garden are actually dangerous. Parasitic flatworms cause a disease called Schistosomiasis which does really nasty things to the human body.

3:01 - Every year there are 35,000+ human fatalities caused by this animal which is also well known as ‘man’s best friend’. You heard that right… dogs! You might not think they are man’s best friend after hearing this. They are high on the list of the most dangerous animals on the planet. 

4:13 - When it comes to snakes, there is no question that the Black Mamba is probably the most dangerous snake on the planet. And while you might think that the reason it’s so dangerous is that of its poison. While it’s true that the venom of this snake is extremely poisonous, it’s not the main reason that the snake is so dangerous.

5:58 - Some will comment ‘Humans are the most dangerous animals’ and you might be right. The total fatalities from wars alone are estimated to be between 150 million and 1 billion, give or take a few hundred million for early wars that weren’t recorded. 

6:51 - The most dangerous animal in the world is the Mosquito. You might be wondering how is it possible that a three-millimeter animal, the common mosquito, which is even tinier than the Tsetse Fly could rank as the most dangerous animal on the planet. But the facts are in, and there are a reported 725,000 human fatalities each year. These pesky bugs are responsible for the most animal-related fatalities. There are over 3500 known species of mosquito in the world, and they carry a large variety of diseases like malaria, encephalitis, elephantiasis, yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile Virus, and the newly discovered Zika virus; the mosquito-borne disease which affects unborn children.
