15 Most Dangerous Animals In The World

Billions of years ago after the evolution of our planet earth, there are millions of species living here and fulfill their basic needs to survive on this planet. These animals are divided into two basic categories Herbivorous and Carnivorous according to their eating habits. Out of these animals some of them are considerably very dangerous by their nature and their looks.

I have mentioned here 15 most dangerous animals (mammals)  currently living on our planet.

1. Cape Buffalo

Cape Buffalo

The African buffalo or Cape buffalo is a large sub – Saharan bovine, and the largest one found in southern and east Africa.

Cape buffalo is also known as ‘black death’ can be very dangerous and is said to have killed more big game hunters than any other animal in Africa.

An angry buffalo will circle and stalk its prey, waiting for the perfect moment to tear apart its opponent with its massive, thick horns that makes him one of the most dangerous animal in the world and it weigh around 600 Kg.

2. Salt water crocodiles

Salt Water Crocodile

Salt water crocodiles are the largest living reptiles growing up to 7m (23ft) long. Salt water crocs have a reputation for being dangerous to people. Salt water crocodiles are strictly carnivorous, that they eat fishes, mammals and birds. it grab their prey by his strong jaw and take them to deep water, drown them out and eat it. this strong holding makes him one of the most dangerous animal under water.

Salt water crocodiles or salties are found in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. If you spot a crocodile, it is best to back away slowly, it has a life-span of 70 Yrs and fully grown adult male can weigh around 1000 kg.

3. Sloth Bear

Sloth Bear

Sloth bears are most dangerous for humans. In hostile encounters with people sloth bears often attack the head. Villagers get raked with the bear's large claws and their face becomes a pulpy mess, that is why it is known to be one of the most dangerous animal in the world.

The sloth bear is also more inclined to attack man unprovoked than almost any other animal, and casualties inflicted by it are unfortunately very common, the victim being often terribly disfigured even if not killed, as the bear strikes at the head and face. Blanford was inclined to consider bears more dangerous than tigers.They are 1.4-1.9 meter in length and weigh aroung 140 Kg. it found in India, Srilanka and Southern Nepal.

5. Wolf

Eastern Wolf

Wolves are the strongest member of dog family, which makes him one of the most dangerous animals. Attacks on human by these species are rare but attacks on farm animals or domestic animals are more common. They mostly found in arctic or snowy regions and have very short life-span of 8-10 years. They weigh around 80 Kg(fully grown male) and 55 Kg(adult female).

Wolves are very shy of humans but are opportunistic hunters and will attack humans if the opportunity arises and advice against "actions that encourage wolves to spend time near people".

6. Lion

Asiatic Lion

Now the King of the forest. Lion are the biggest cats and the only predators powerful enough to kill an elephant. They can be very dangerous if they hunt together. They mostly found in Africa and Asia as Asiatic lions. it weigh around 200 Kg(male) and 150 kg (female) with a life-span of 10-14 years.

Lions hunt in pride. They are also very quick on their toes, hunt in pride and are responsible for killing around 250 people a year. “You've got to be careful with lions,".

7. Leopards

Leopard

These are deadly predators and good climbers, they take their prey on to the trees and eat there. Leopards do kill humans when they are provoked. And if you compare this with people being killed by leopards, the risk is negligible. In fact, it is the leopards who is in danger if come close proximity with humans.

Leopards mostly found in Asia, South America. These are flesh eating animal and lives up to 17 years,  their mass is around 25-30 Kg.

8. Hippopotamus

 

Hippopotamus

Hippos are aggressive and are considered very dangerous they have large teeth and tusks that they use of fighting. Hippos are herbivores as they don’t eat humans but Hippos only attack when they are threatened or frightened.

Although they primarily only eat plants—munching on about 80 pounds of grass each day—hippos are one of the most aggressive animals on Earth. They can snap a canoe in half with their powerful jaws, and they kill about 500 people in Africa each year, that compel me to include this species into 15 most dangerous animal in the world. Their mass is around 2000 kg, it is the second heaviest animal on the earth surface and have a life-span of 40-45 Years.

9. Elephant

African Elephant

An elephant can be one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. Elephants experience unexpected bouts of rage and are known to be vindictive. In India, hundreds of people are killed by mistreated or rampaging elephants.

Elephants frequently raid and destroy crops. They weigh maximum up to 6000 Kg(fully grown African elephant) and life-span of 70 years and mostly found in Africa and Asia. While many people in the West regard elephants with affection and admiration, the animals often inspire fear and anger on those who share their land, including him in 15 most dangerous animals in the world is a true choice. 

In this video you will see that an Elephant attacking people because of his discomfort and threatened  feel. And Elephants only attack when they feel threatened, and Elephants are very dangerous from them all.

10. Olive Baboon

Olive Baboon

Baboons are dangerous. Like all wild animals, they can be unpredictable and attack humans when they feel threatened.

The Olive Baboon is one of the largest baboons, with the males being larger than the females. Their body length is 60 - 86 cms (20 - 34 inches), their tail length is 41 - 58 CMS (16 - 23 inches) and they weigh between 22 and 37 Kgs (49 - 82 lbs). There is some geographical variation in average size.their size and dimensions are not that feary but if they are angry it could be very dangerous and can be very harmful for humans.due to their anger  Wikipedia also include them in most dangerous animal in the world.

11. Rhinoceros

White Rhinoceros

While these horned beasts are potentially very dangerous, they generally prefer to keep to themselves. Despite that attitude, rhinoceros are no pacifists, and when they feel threatened, they'll steer their large, dangerous bodies directly toward a fight. they found in two species black rhino and white rhino (about to extinct, very less left in the world)

The black rhino has a reputation for being extremely aggressive, and charges readily at perceived threats. they are weigh around 1400 Kg and india rhino are weigh around 2200 kg  and life-span of 40-50 years. Their height is around 2 mtrs.

12. Mandrill

Mandrill

Mandrills are not usually aggressive. Rather, mandrills are mostly shy and reclusive. However, mandrills can occasionally show signs of aggression.

They may be acclimated to humans, but they are strong enough with big enough teeth that they could hurt you purely by accident. Just behaving like a baboon would with other baboons could seriously injure a human. If they feel threatened or become agitated, they could very easily and seriously injure or even kill you. They are mostly found in rain forest near equatorial Africa, it is  strongest monkey among the Ape family and  weigh around 55 Kg. Their life span is about 20 years.

13. Hamadryas Baboons

Hamadryas Baboon

They can become dangerous primarily when they feel threatened or when they're socialized to associate humans with food. Large male baboons will defend the others in their troop, so if you get too close to them, a large male might present himself and stand between you and the others.

If you encounter a baboon troop while hiking, first realize that they are not looking at you as food. weigh around 30 Kg and life-span of 20 years, B being native to the Horn of Africa and the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

14. Gorilla

Gorilla

Gorillas can be truly dangerous. Majorly gorilla violence is directed towards other gorillas. They live in groups, in which one dominant male silverback controls several females and youngsters. If another male approaches, the silverback will try to drive him off.

In the wild, if a human challenged a gorilla, the gorilla would probably kill the human, but I don't think it would find human meat very appetizing. Gorillas eat animal flesh, but mostly they eat ants and termites.They weigh around 160Kg and life-span of up to 45 years and height of 1.7 mtrs. they mostly found central sub-Saharan Africa.

15. Humans

Humans

Surprised? After all, we’re animals too, and since we’ve been killing each other for 10,000 years, with the total deaths from war alone estimated at between 150 million and 1 billion (and that was a decade ago), it’s a no-brainer that we top the list.

Though human beings are said to be living in the most peaceful period, now than at any other time in our history, we still assault each other with incredibly high rates of senseless brutality, from gun violence to terrorist attacks around the globe.
