Rhinoceros
The rhinos are known to have very bad eye sight due to which they are easily startled. Once a person/animal comes in the sight of a rhinoceros, it is difficult to escape. Hence, rhinos are considered to be very dangerous animals in the world.
Stonefish
Known for camouflaging with the ocean floor, the stonefish is one animal that is too dangerous. The stonefish can catch a prey within 0.15 seconds. It is also known as the “world’s most venomous fish” as stepping on its pine can cause one to lose a leg or in severe cases, life.
Great White Shark
The white sharks have a problem in distinguishing what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. The simple rules these predators follow is to simply try it in order to know. The white sharks are known to eat anything that floats. But there is a belief that they do not eat humans although they do bite and leave as humans are “too bony.”
Black Mamba
Also called the “death incarnate”, the black mamba is highly famous for being too aggressive, fast and attacking the prey without any slight signal. Hence, they are considered the one of the most dangerous animals.
Cape Buffalo
Buffaloes are known to be animals that can be domesticated. But it is considered to be an unpredictable and deadly creature. The Cape buffalo is found through Africa and is known as the “black death.”
Polar Bear
Polar bears are the world’s largest carnivores. They are known to eat anything that is even slightly meaty. Even though they don’t eat many humans, it may be because there are very less in those zones of the world.
African Lion
Known as the King of the Jungle, the lion is famously known to be the one of the most dangerous animals in the world. The case of 1898 of Tsavo man-eaters is one when the African Lion killed about 28 railway workers in 9 months.
Hyenas
Since history, hyenas have been known to be one of the most dangerous animals. The man-eating predators tend to become more aware during war and also during the outbreak of any diseases that might result in a high rate of deaths.
Blue Ringed Octopus
With the size of a golf ball, the blue ringed octopus can kill about 46 adults with its venom. Till now, an antidote for it has not been found. One must know CPR in order to save someone who has been bitten by this predator. However, if a person is not given artificial respiration, they can be completely paralysed.
