Many people cannot even imagine how diverse the animal world is on our planet. A huge number of reptiles, insects, amphibians, fish, mammals, etc. get along side by side in it. All of them are capable on their own to withstand some types of external threat. For this purpose, nature endowed them with fangs, spikes, teeth, tentacles, a sting, etc. These adaptations are necessary for those species of individuals that do not have an awesome size, do not have a loud voice, that is, are completely unremarkable.
Ah, these mosquitoes
Of course, the most dangerous animals in the world are those that have poison. Regardless of their size, they are able to kill opponents several times larger than them in size. Some poisons cause instant death, others cause excruciating pains, others cause complete paralysis, etc. The most dangerous animals on earth (top 10) are poisonous fish, insects, and reptiles. In addition, animals that can carry diseases are dangerous. For example, blood-sucking insects with a sting. So, the top 10 most dangerous animals for humans in the world are headed by mosquitoes that can infect such deadly diseases as dengue fever, malaria, etc.
Why do insects sting?
Naturally, we call all those animals that pose a danger to our health dangerous, but all of their actions are determined by the instinct of self-preservation, or they are simply driven by hunger. They, as a rule, do not attack just like that, for no reason. This means that their actions are provoked by a person. An insect stings only when it feels a threat to itself and its offspring, as well as an encroachment on its personal territory.
Spotted Dart frog and banana spider
If you look at the top 10 most dangerous animals in the world, then in the front row there will be a spotted tree frog. This frog lives in Costa Rica and in Brazil. She has a very bright color, which gives her some kind of unnatural appearance. It seems that she fell out in paints of various shades. This funny frog is so poisonous that it can kill two elephants on the spot, which are several thousand times larger than its size. Moreover, it is not necessary for him to sting a person. Even a simple touch can die. Thus, this cute little animal is the most dangerous animal in the world. The top 10 could also be headed by a banana spider. He even found a place in the Guinness Book of Records as one of the most bloodthirsty killers. It is believed that the largest number of people died from his bite. In a word, this tiny creature is a mass killer. And therefore, it is precisely it that should lead the top 10 most dangerous animals in the world.
Jellyfish sea wasp
Have you ever heard of a sea wasp? But did you know that the animal, which is called in this way, is nothing but a jellyfish? Speaking of these animals, we present the slippery, translucent, shapeless marine life that can be found in the water. Many consider them completely safe. Most of them are. However, there are such species that pose a huge danger to humans. For example, the Australian cubomedusa or that same sea wasp is the most dangerous animal in the world. The top 10, compiled in Australia, off the coast of which this animal lives, placed it precisely at the first step in terms of danger. It has a pale blue color and can weigh about 2 kilograms. Her tentacles reach three meters in length. She has 15 in total. Everything that comes in her way, she entangles in her long tentacles and is poisonous. Soon, nothing remains of the extraction. It just dissolves. Of course, a strong man will be able to unravel her embrace and get to land, but he will experience so infernal pain that he will pray to cut off the affected limb. However, the poison primarily affects the brain, a person falls into a state of shock, and his heart stops. Well, what do you think? Who is the most dangerous animal in the world? Top 10 may vary depending on the compilers. After all, the principle that underlies the ranking is not always the same.
Ring-shaped octopus
Another tiny animal - the ring-shaped octopus, it claims to be the "Most dangerous animal in the world." The top 10, which was compiled by Far Eastern scientists, indicates that this mollusk, if not even one of the three leaders in danger, but certainly the fourth. It is the size of a tennis ball. If it is pissed off, it acquires a blood-red hue with spots that begin to glow. After his attack, a person suffocates and completely loses sight. Death occurs in a few minutes. From the venom of the ring-shaped octopus, an antidote has not yet been found.
Taipans
Presenting the top rating of the most dangerous animals in the world, it is impossible not to name the representatives of snakes. Perhaps all know about the venom of a cobra or viper, which is widespread throughout the middle zone of Russia, but the inland Taipan is something unknown. This is a two-meter snake, which is characterized by a shy disposition. She is not hostile, but forgiving nature you will not go. It has the strongest poison, which in science is known as taipaxin. It can cause asphyxia, paralysis of muscles and brain.
Bear
Unlike previous animals - insects and reptiles - which are included in the category "The most dangerous animals of the planet", the top 10 also includes mammals that strike with their appearance. For example, bears. They have powerful strength, powerful fangs and claws. Grizzly bears are considered killers, polar and brown bears are also dangerous. Meeting them can be fatal for a person. Despite the fact that in our view, bears are slow and clumsy animals, they can reach a speed of 60 km / h, that is, running away from them is useless. Well, since the bear is actually considered a symbol of our country, we can say that this is the most dangerous animal in Russia.
African elephant
To be honest, our elephants are not associated with danger. It seems to us that they are peaceful and kind creatures. And in most cases this is the case. However, according to statistics, more than 500 people die from them each year. They can trample, they can hammer with sharp fangs-tusks. Scientists believe that in most cases elephants are peaceful, and only aggressive treatment by humans can infuriate them. In a word, elephants are not only the largest, but also the most dangerous animals. The top 10 also includes these giant mammals in their ranks.
The most dangerous feline
King of beasts! So we call lions - the most dangerous representatives of the cat family. They are beautiful, noble, graceful, strong and courageous. Despite the fact that in us they cause real sympathy, it is better not to meet them in nature, since this can cost you dearly. But in Russia, of the representatives of this family, graceful, graceful and merciless lynxes are considered the most dangerous.
