15 Most Deadliest Animals in the World

Nature is full of dangers, Even if we think we are at the top of the food chain and became the undisputed rulers of earth, It doesn’t mean we are completely invulnerable. Fact: Different deadly animals around the world manage to kill quite a few humans each year.

If you want to know what to be careful from when going outdoors – here is a list of 15 of the most deadliest animals for human beings.

Number 15. Bees

The sting of a bee is not only painful but also very dangerous. 53 people die every year from bee stings – usually from allergy. Noticed a bee landed on  your arm? The smartest thing to do would be not to be nervous and wait patiently until it flies away. It will most likely fly away if you dont make it feel threatened.

Number 14. Lions

The kings of the jungle kill an average of 70 people a year. The good news: you probably wont meet one when you leave your house.

Number 13. Jellyfish

The nightmare of every surfer and sea lover is a little painful murderer of tens of swimmers every year. Even if you don’t die from it – a sting from a jellyfish is a REALLY painful ordeal. Maybe its better to go to the pool.

Number 12. Tigers

The tigers can eliminate a human being in a blink of an eye. Every year around 100 people are killed by tigers – not such a big amount, but it makes us wonder how does 100 people get in a confrontation in front of this intimidating animal in the first place.

Number 11. Reindeers

You weren’t expecting this one! Reindeers are not much of a violent animal, but do get involved in deadly car accidents. Around 120 people die every year from these.

Number 8. Elephants

Elephants are huge as well, and in some countries they  come in contact with humans on a daily basis. About 500 people die each year, usually because of stomping by this huge animal.

Number 7. Crocodile
