Top 5 Deadliest Animals

This list contains the top 5 deadliest animals on Earth (besides the 
human which is obviously #1).

5. Lion:King of the animals, highest in the food chain in Africa... but not the deadliest! His features are very impressive and with its razor-sharp teeth,  incredible speed and huge strength this animal feeds itself with all other mammals in Africa. Even humans if its regular food source is scarce!

4. White shark:With over 3000 teeth, an unimaginably good sense of smell and an incredible feeling for the tiniest of sparks in the water, the white  shark is very dangerous to say the least. Besides their incredible 
sense of smell which enables them to smell one small drip of blood in  100 liters of water, their ultimate weapon is their really sensitive  feeling for the electrical field. Every human heartbeat produces a  tiny electrical pulse, and a shark van feel a difference of  0.0000000005 volt...

Still not convinced? Watch Jaws! (trailer)

3. Australian box jellyfish:With their sometimes even over 60 tentacles, which can be up to 4,5 meters long (13 feet), this is the most dangerous creature in the deep-sea. His poison is different from the cobra's, as it will make your skin feel like it is burning, as if it’s on fire. 'Not that bad', you might think, but 10cm (3 inches) of tentacle touching your skin is enough poison to kill you. Each Australian box jellyfish can kill 3600 full-grown men in one go!
Most sites don't list the mosquito as the deadliest animal, which is probably because the mosquito doesn't kill by itself (although it does sucks 0.005 ml blood so if 1600 mosquitoes suck your blood at the same time you will die, but I'm sure 1600 attacking elephants wouldn't be very pleasant either). However, you can compare the mouth of a mosquito with a dirty needle, which carries diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. Malaria kills 1 million people a year and 90% of them is an African child.

2. Cobra:The poison of the cobra is extraordinary. When you’re bitten by a cobra, your tissue will be directly to start break down and only a few medications have any effect. Over 2 million people are bitten by a cobra every year, 50.000 of them won't survive...

1. Mosquito:
Most sites don't list the mosquito but it is the most deadlie animal  ever. The mosquito doesn't kill by itself (actually it sucks 0.005 ml blood so if 1600 mosquitos suck your blood at the same time you will
die). But you can compare the mouth of a mosquite with a dirty needle, which carries deseases such as malaria and yellow fever.

Malaria kills 1 million people a year and 90% of them is an African
child.






<- I know they are bees and not mosquitos but you get the point of sucked dry by them.... not very nice :3
