10. Cape buffalo

You can find it here: Southern Africa, including the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

Cape buffalo, like ordinary buffaloes, are docile and like to travel in groups, eat grass, and drink water.

Cone snail, also known as cone snail, is a soft-bodied animal that lives in tropical warm coastal shallow waters, coral reefs and rocky areas, at first glance, it is a beautiful snail with different patterns and colors, but it is one of the most venomous snails in the world because it contains venom in its 'teeth', a single cone snail's venom can kill 10 people.

The venom contains hundreds of different components, if accidentally stung, there will be no serious symptoms in the short term.

There is a special cone snail that also has the title of 'cigar snail', which means that when you are poisoned, you have a time to smoke a cigar to save yourself.

8. Archerfish

You can find it here: Northern South America

Archerfish is a colorful fish, only a few of which are particularly dangerous to humans.

The most deadly is the golden archerfish, it lives in a small area of rainforest on the Pacific coast of Colombia, about 5cm long, about the size of a pointer, its toxins are so strong that the toxins in one frog can kill 10 adult men, and only 2 micrograms of toxin can kill one person.

This amphibian is particularly dangerous because its venom glands are located under the skin, which means that just contact will cause death.

For centuries, the local indigenous people used this toxin to paint on darts to hunt.

Unfortunately, deforestation has made this frog a vulnerable species.

7. Box jellyfish

You can find it here: North coast of Australia

These transparent, almost invisible invertebrates often float in the ocean, sometimes moving at a speed of 1.6 km/h, it is considered the most venomous marine animal in the world.

Box jellyfish, also known as cube jellyfish, has the shape of a square box, so it is named as such. It drags 60+ tentacles behind it, each up to 3 meters long, all tentacles are densely arranged with pouch-like structures, each pouch-like structure contains venom that is invisible to the naked eye.

Despite our having developed anti-venom, due to its extremely strong toxicity, there are still hundreds of deaths per year.

Even if you are lucky enough to arrive at the hospital and receive medicine, survivors may still experience considerable pain for several weeks and leave unsightly scars at the place of contact.

6. Stonefish

You can find it here: Japan, China and Philippines

As a foodie, stonefish is one of the second most venomous vertebrates after golden archerfish, their stonefish toxins are found in skin, muscle tissue, liver, kidneys and reproductive organs, the toxicity is 1200 times that of ordinary poison, which can cause numbness of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, arrhythmia, difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, if not treated in time, it will lead to death.

Despite this, humans still indulge in the deliciousness.

In China and Japan, stonefish is considered a super food, due to the widespread distribution of stonefish toxins in many organs and tissues, such foods must be trained and licensed chefs to make.

However, even so, there are still several cases of accidental death from miseating stonefish every year.

7. Black Mamba

You can find it here: Southern and southeastern Africa's savannahs and rocky areas

The black mamba snake is the longest and most terrifying snake in Africa, and also the fastest snake in the world.

It averages 2.4 meters long, and the longest can reach 4.48 meters, its maximum speed can reach 20 km/h, this speed is fatal to anyone who happens to encounter a black mamba snake and tries to escape.

Fortunately, black mambas usually only attack when threatened, but once threatened, they will bite incessantly, and one bite can release enough venom to kill ten people.

After being bitten, only 20 minutes of rescue time is left, otherwise it will face death.

6. Saltwater Crocodile

You can find it here: Indo-Pacific region, from parts of India and Vietnam to northern Australia

All crocodile species are the largest and most dangerous, the saltwater crocodile.

These ferocious killers can grow up to 7 meters long and weigh more than 1 ton, killing hundreds of people every year, and all crocodile killing cases per year are more than shark.

Whether it is seawater or freshwater, saltwater crocodiles are excellent swimmers, with powerful bites, about 1902 kg, and can shatter the shells of sea turtles, comparable to the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

5. Cane Toad

You can find it here: Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola

Cane toad is a tiny insect, about 8 to 17 mm in size, similar to ordinary flies, also known as tongue flies, it is considered the most dangerous flies.

Although cane toad is a hated bloodsucker, their fear lies in the parasitic worm coneia they carry.

The coneia disease disrupts the nervous system and causes meningitis symptoms, causing behavioral changes, poor coordination and disruption of sleep cycles, leading to the name.

If not treated in time, it may lead to death.

The cane toad is distributed in 37 countries in Africa, and it is related to the death of 300,000 livestock and 500,000 people infected every year, with 50,000 deaths every year.

Currently, there is no vaccine or medicine to prevent infection with coneia, the best measures to control the spread of coneia disease are to control environmental factors.

Fortunately, only two types can transmit coneia disease.

2. Mosquito

You can find it here: Everywhere except Antarctica

Mosquitoes are the most familiar ones, smaller than cane toad, but they carry more than 3000 kinds of pathogens.

They are the main vectors of malaria, encephalitis, scale disease, yellow fever, dengue fever, Zika virus and other diseases.

As the World Health Organization pointed out, about half the world's population is at risk of disease transmitted by mosquitoes.

Considering that mosquitoes are attracted to our body temperature and exhaled carbon dioxide, our best way to prevent infection is to use mosquito repellent.

1. Human

Are you surprised? After all, we are also animals, we have killed each other for 10,000 years, and the estimated number of deaths caused by war is between 1.5 billion and 10 billion.

Not only that, we are also a threat to other animals, think about global warming, forest and coral reef destruction, and excessive tourism.

For humans, it is completely possible to extinguish a species or destroy a planet, so as the most dangerous creature, humans deserve it.
