5 of the world's most dangerous animals


1. The Mosquito.

 As small as the mosquito may seem to be, it is also the deadliest. It has been estimated that mosquitos  transmit diseases to almost 700 million people annually resulting in 2 to 3 million deaths every year. It is the most underestimated yet dangerous animal on earth.



2. African Elephant.

African Elephant
The world’s largest land animal are elephants which can be fiercely aggressive and have been known to trample even a rhinoceros to death. They tend to  have the capability to display burst of rage and have even engaged in activities that have been interpreted as vindictive, razing entire villages in the process. Killing villagers and damaging properties in the violent or sometimes fearful act.

3. Saltwater Crocodile.

Sitting at the top of its food chain the Saltwater Crocodile has been known to eat everything from a water buffalo,humans to sharks. In order to kill its food it make use of a technique called the “death roll” where it relentlessly flips its prey over and over in the water until it drowns and then comes apart. 

4. Hippopotamus.

Although hippopotamus  are mostly herbivorous, they are also highly aggressive and are widely regarded as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. They have been known to attack humans without provocation even to the point of destroying entire vehicles and resulting in loss of human life.
5. Blue Ringed Octopus.

About the size of a golf ball, don’t let size fool you, it carries  enough venom to kill up to  26 full grown adults and  there is NO antidote. If bitten by this small pretty looking sea creature be lucky that CPR assistance is near to help because within minutes you will be completely paralyzed and unable to breathe. Mother nature, however, shows no mercy and they will maintain their consciousness for the next few hours until the venom is neutralized by the body. This is of course assuming that, someone at the hospital, continues artificial respiration
