30 Deadliest Creatures In The World

Recent arguments have begun to transpire as to whether Australia truly is the pinnacle danger continent of the world, or if it is just a guise of deception created by these creatures for travel to even more deadly locales. Even so, the 30 creatures in this list are the most deadly out of every continent in the world, and most of their locations will be quite chilling to those who will be most surprised to discover that they may not be as safe as they think. Will Australia attain the most points and remain the reigning danger champion, or will your continent take first prize?

30. Great White Shark

Location: North and South America, South Africa, Australia and Madagascar, and parts of Asia. 

As the ocean’s widely known apex predator, great whites can jump up to ten feet above the water surface in a technique known as breaching. In addition, spy hopping is a term also used to describe the way the sharks come to the surface and “spy” on prey by looking over the water. Strangely enough, the great white shark’s tongue is absolutely worthless, as it serves no particular purpose to the shark. Scientists are curious of this phenomenon because of the fact that they are 400 million years old, and are perfect evolutionary creatures in every way except this, especially in the mouth department.

29. Champawat Tiger

Location: Asia

The infamous Champawat Tigress is a female Bengal tiger who assumedly killed over two hundred people in Nepal, and only stopped killing people in the country when, having multiple hunters failed to kill her, the Nepalese army was mobilized for the sole reason of hunting this one tiger. And even they failed to kill her, but they did manage to frighten her out of Nepal and into India. There, she killed more than two hundred people until she was finally brought to justice.

28. Gray Wolves

Location: North America, Asia, and Europe

The largest of the dog family, wolves historically populated much of Eurasia, North Africa and North America. The gray wolf inhabits a immensely reduced fragment of its former range due to widespread destruction of its territory. Recently endangered, they rarely attack people in North America or Europe, however they do run down the occasional agricultural worker in Asia because the two come into contact much more often. Looks like Asia is in the lead with 3 points!

27. Black Mamba

Location: Southeast Africa

Black mambas were given their name not due to the color of the snake, but the inside of its mouth. Having been seen up to 14 feet in length (4.2 meters), black mambas usually grow to 8.5 feet (2.6 meters) and can slither 12.5 mph (20.1 kmh), instead of biting once, they strike numerous times quickly, over and over.

26. Deathstalker

Location: Africa and Middle East

These gnarly looking fellows are easily the deadliest scorpions in the world, and with 5,000 deaths by scorpions annually, they contribute to 75% of them. If you’re up to the task of looking for one of these fiendish creatures, Deathstalkers can be found in the dry desert areas and shrub-ridden parts of northern Africa and the Middle East. That’s another point for Africa!

25. Africanized Honey Bee

Location: North, South, and Central America

This type of bees is the absolute worst species for multiple reasons. Primarily, the main cause of deadliness is because of the fact that when a killer bee releases a stinger into a victim, a chemical pheromone is released into the air, which signals every single drone in the hive to move to their position. They build hives in the ground, and get extremely agitated when nests are destroyed, so you should avoid doing that. Also, even though they were created to produce more honey, they produce 5 times less honey than other species. These buckos began in Brazil, but have now spread all over Central and North America.

24. Rhinos

Location: Southeastern Africa

Rhinos are beautiful creatures, and are poached at wide varieties for their horns, which are posed as a figure of success and wealth in Asian countries. They have continuously become more aggressive towards humans over recent years, and who can blame them? Although they are a tremendous 5,100 lbs (2313 kg), they are able to run up to 30 – 40 mph (48 – 64 kmh), so if you find yourself being charged in southeastern Africa, scale a tree ASAP.

23. Cone Snail

Location: Australia, South Africa, and Asia

Carnivorous, with a complex concoction of hundreds of different toxins that has no cure, cone snails are the epitome of the beautiful but deadly phenomenon in nature. Found in the Indian and Pacific oceans, the Caribbean and Red seas, and along the coast of Florida, brightly colored shells, appealing to curious collectors, shine with attraction to unsuspecting victims. The sole (extremely moderate) treatment exists to only to keep victim alive until the toxin wears off.

22. Stonefish

Location: Australia

These puppies may look slow, but as all other things in Australia that look harmless usually prove otherwise, so does the stonefish. Burrowing themselves into the sand, camouflaged perfectly through years of evolution, this speed demon swallows fish in an astounding 0.015 seconds. They can survive 24h out of water, so don’t think you can escape them by never going in the ocean; they’ll find you.

21. Fire Ants

Location: North and South America, Asia, and Australia

The term “fire ant” actually lacks a representation of a single species of ants. In fact, the name is used to refer to at least 280 different species, with varieties found throughout the entire world. Though it is given its name due to the reddish color of its skin, the fire ant’s sting is extremely painful, the feeling experienced compared to that of fire.

20. Cassowary

Location: Australia

This enormous bird is similar to an ostrich, but believe or not much more ornery. The cassowary has even been described as “a turkey fused with a velociraptor.” It even has the protection of its casque, which is a hard helmet on the top of its head made of a spongy material covered in keratin. They enjoy eating leaves and keeping to themselves, when they aren’t having kick fights with inanimate objects, or you.

19. Cape Buffalo 

Location: South and East Africa 

Even residing in a safari tour jeep, you still would not want a confrontation with a cape buffalo. When two 1800lb (816 kg) African buffalo bulls charges each other, the head-on the impact is equivalent to a car hitting a wall at 30 mph (50 kmh). Even so, these creatures usually travel in a pack, and even when they wander alone, lone rangers are even more aggressive because of the vulnerability of not having the safety of the herd.

18. Poison Dart Frog

Location: Central and South America

If traveling in the rainforest, or potentially any untainted nature locations, avoid bright colors at all costs. Although it is a confusing concept on account of the attraction it has to observation, these cute little guys carry enough poison to kill 20,000 mice, which is equal to 10 grown men. There is speculation as to where the dart frog attains this potent poison, but it is possible they saturate themselves with plant poison through eating the insects that carry them, such as beetles and ants.

17. Polar Bear

Location: Arctic Circle (Alaska, Canada, Russia, Norway)

Being the stealthy swimmers they are, polar bears must be camouflaged well to stalk the seals they need to sustain. Their fur may look white, but it is actually transparent. It only seems to appear this way because it reflects visible light. Oddly enough, polar bear skin is actually black under their fur. They are also one of the only known predators to actively hunt and eat humans if they are hungry.

16. Box Jellyfish

Location: Australia

These crustacean eating creatures are incredibly venomous, and can grow 15 tentacles from all corners of the body, each reaching 10 feet in length. The big box jellyfish is the most venomous on the planet, being so venomous it will kill you within two minutes of a sting. The tentacles are sometimes left on the skin if stung, and must be removed quickly, safeguarded by protective gear.

15. African Lion

Location: East and Central Africa

These big cats are just that, sleeping for up to 20 hours a day. Lions do not have molars that grind food, instead, their back teeth, called carnassals, work like scissors to cut meat. They tear off pieces big enough to swallow, and can ravage 10 to 25 pounds of food per day. They used to live in most warm countries, but now, through human disruption, only live in a select few places on earth.

14. Boomslang

Location: South Africa

Though most snakes lack adequate vision, boomslang have amazing eyesight, able to detect even a motionless chameleon. A man once bitten by a boomslang on his thumb by one fang of a boomslang claimed to feel fine as rear fanged snakes were seen as not dangerous, but hours later he had passed away from respiratory arrest. Unlike other rear-fanged snakes, boomslang has very large fangs and it can stretch its mouth for 170 degrees during an attack.

13. Puffer Fish

Location: Everywhere

Although a fairly happy looking fish, the puffer fish is not one which should be trifled. There is enough toxin in one puffer fish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote to this poison. This toxin that almost all puffer fish contain is called tetrodotoxin, and it is 1200 times stronger than cyanide. Even so, some restaurants serve it as a delicacy, but only the most experienced of culinary artists can prepare it properly.

Location: Africa

The infamous barking of hyenas is usually attributed to their excited temperaments, but there is more to the barks than what meets the ear. The pitch and the note frequency (or tone) of a hyena’s laugh can give an indication of its age and social status, and is a factor of who gets first dibs during dinner.

Location: Asia

Komodo dragons have had an immense variety of different false attributions labeled upon them. Contrary to popular belief, the saliva does not contain an animal deteriorating bacteria, but instead they actually have venom glands found in the mouth that cause paralysis, extreme blood loss due to inadequate clotting, tissue damage, and excruciating pain.

Location: Africa and Asia

Leopards are among the most impressive cats, and can carry the weight of a giraffe up a tree, which is equal to that of a human carrying 250lbs (113kg) in their mouth. They are very adaptable hunters, and can sustain themselves in any environment; the snow leopard proves this, along with the fact that black panthers are just leopards modified with melanism (the opposite of albinism).

Location: Delightfully everywhere

“The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies” – Anonymous. With 25,000 people being killed annually by dogs, man’s best friend isn’t as vicious as this statistic may look, seemingly as if dogs are going for the throat. But these figures are due to over 90 percent of rabies infections in humans worldwide being caused by dog bites, most of the cases being in India and not in the West where there are copious amounts of medicine.

Location: Central and South America

These ground gliding guys are called wandering spiders because they do not build webs, but rather wander the forest floor at night, actively hunting prey. They currently hold the world record for the most venomous spider, and when threatened, will rear up on their hind legs to make themselves appear larger.

Location: Australia

Surprisingly, there are many species in the world that seem like they would not contain venom, but pack a punch stronger than most snakes ever could. A good example of this is the blue ringed octopus, possessing enough venom to kill 26 people within minutes. If traveling to a foreign country, make sure to be aware of all potential threats, no matter how silly they may sound.

Location: Africa

Although a very close relative of the whale, hippos cannot swim in the water they so often reside. Instead, they bound off the ground floor, propelling themselves through the water at tremendous speeds. In addition, hippos may seem like slow creatures due to their weight and short legs, but hippos can run at 15mph (24kmh), and in short bursts of speed can even reach 30mph (63 kmh).

Another ancient predator, a large crocodile is strong enough to crush the skull of a fully grown cow between its jaws and can drag a water buffalo weighing over a ton into the water. Being the largest reptile in the world, it is no surprise that it has survived for over 200 million years, and has caused various human deaths for quite some time.

Elephants are among the smartest creatures on earth, their brains being the largest of any other land mammal’s, weighing in at 11lbs (5kg), and their tusks are actually incisors that grow from their mouth. They also have genetic memories, which is the reason why elephants are the only species able to go in and out of the Ngorongoro crater, while every other species never migrates.

Insects are never appealing to any person, but mosquitos possess a particular ability to be revolted on another level. Many of them carry Malaria, which infects around 250 million people each year worldwide and kills about 1 million. Some scientists say it wouldn’t be bad to eliminate mosquitos completely among debates of the opposite, but even the thought of being able to walk outside without being swarmed is an idea far too perfect to refuse.

It is now clear as to who the true champion of danger truly is, and although Australia may have the most venomous and scariest looking creatures, the facade has been obstructed and the statistics are prevalent. Just because a venomous creature has the ability to annihilate a person does not necessarily mean they will do so on a large scale. Bigger animals, however, may not be so kind to an unwarranted visitor. The law of the land remains: the biggest animals are the alpha, and with size comes confidence. This is why a rhinoceros will always beat a human, in their mind, that is.

There’s Always a Bigger Fish: Watch These Sharks Get Eaten

Seals off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa have been known to eat Blue Sharks
Image Via: Chris Fallows

Sharks might be the best-designed killing machines that exist in the natural world. They spend the bulk of their lives hunting and viciously killing smaller animals to satisfy their enormous energy needs. In short, sharks are big, mean, and scary. However, the laws of nature don’t make special exceptions based on taxonomic classification. As it turns out, just calling yourself a shark isn’t enough to guarantee that no other ocean dweller is willing to take a swing at you.

The ocean is a dangerous place. In the rare situations that sharks aren’t the biggest, meanest, and scariest creatures swimming around, they too can find themselves on the wrong end of a set of jaws. Here’s a look at some sea monsters that have proven themselves able to turn the tables on sharks and make a meal out of them. 

1. Octopus

  As far as cephalopods go, giant squids enjoy most of the notoriety. There’s an indelible terrifying quality that being a 40-foot-long, sharp-beaked mass of tentacles imparts that few other sea creatures can match. Still, their smaller cousins have a lot going for them in the “lethal predator” department. Octopuses are among the smartest animals on land or sea, and in the GIF above, you’ll see the price one shark paid for underestimating them. The octopus appears to have been camouflaging itself at the time, and as soon as the shark strayed too close, it pounced. While the shark’s small size made it a less intimidating target than most, this octopus’ 8-armed embrace is clearly a deadly one.

2. Orca

SeaWorld and Free Willy have worked in concert to untether the public perception of orcas from reality. The general sentiment that these monsters occupy the spot next to golden retrievers on the animal friendliness spectrum is misguided, to say the very least. Frequently (and aptly) referred to as “killer whales,” orcas are among the most ruthless killers in the animal kingdom. 

Orcas are both bigger and more intelligent than sharks, and if that weren’t enough, they also have the unique advantage of traveling in packs. The true wolves of the sea, a group of orcas can here be seen dissecting the carcass of a large shark that had the misfortune of crossing paths with them. The group hunting tactics that killer whales display are incredible in their sophistication and ruthless in their execution. Sharks aren’t a preferred prey item for orcas, but when other options are scarce, an unlucky few can find themselves on the menu.

3. Grouper

The appropriately named goliath grouper doesn’t find itself outgunned in the size department very often. The giants can grow to 800 pounds and over 8 feet long, and they eat correspondingly massive prey. This four-foot-long blacktip shark found itself both outsmarted and undersized in late 2014, when a fisherman off the Florida coast hooked it on a live mullet. 

As the angler brought the small shark boatside, a dark mass began to materialize from the deep. Seconds later, an explosion of force rocked the boat as this enormous goliath grouper crushed the vulnerable blacktip. The grouper made off with the shark—or what was left of it—and the fisherman was left with this spectacular video of the topwater strike.

4. Bigger Sharks, Example 1

The open ocean food chain is governed by one overarching rule: bigger is better. Shark or seal, turtle or tuna, whiting or whale shark, an animal’s place in the ecosystem is determined by size. Big sharks are closer to the top of the food chain than little sharks. This means that—you guessed it—big sharks are completely unprincipled about cannibalizing their own kind. 

In the video above, a small, vulnerable blacktip learns the hard way that it’s a shark-eat-shark world. A fully-grown bull shark, somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 feet long, succeeds in swallowing most of the blacktip whole before realizing that it will have to leave a fin or two behind. Bull sharks have a (highly accurate) reputation for being some of the meanest, most aggressive fish in the sea, and they are much less picky about what they eat than other sharks. Apparently, family ties don’t mean much to a bull shark.

5. Bigger Sharks, Example 2

The best evidence that sharks are indiscriminate killers when they’re hungry might be the fear with which small sharks respond to the appearance of a larger predator in their midst. In the excellent drone footage shown above, a massive hammerhead is clearly intent on preying upon a school of smaller blacktips. At first, the small sharks slowly accelerate in an effort to put distance between themselves and the hammerhead. That all changes when the hammerhead hits the gas. Knowing they’re firmly in harm’s way, the blacktips scatter as fast as they can. One nearly does a barrel roll and comes out of the water in its panic. Preparedness—and lots of eyes spotting the hammerhead before it got too close—saved this school from becoming lunch. While this group was fortunate, they were also clearly conditioned to fear the hammerhead. Small sharks know that if they don’t steer clear of their larger relatives, they’ll never get a chance to grow up. 

In spite of all these videos, it’s important to realize that sharks are the dominant predators in their environments a vast majority of the time. They’ve often been described as “perfect killing machines.” The characterization is a fair one. The fossil record indicates that they’ve barely evolved over the past several million years, likely because they don’t have to. They are such successful hunters that it’s hard for nature to improve on the design. However, these videos demonstrate that nothing in the ocean is safe in every situation. Bigger, smarter, and more deadly hunters sometimes do inhabit the same waters as sharks themselves. In the broader marine ecosystem, just being born a shark isn’t enough to keep you out of a hungry mouth.

Aquaman Does Not Appreciate Spear-Fishermen.

*Nails on chalkboard* “Did someone say catch a shark?” A lone spear-fisherman was wading his way through the Australian Gulf when a 6 foot long Bull shark takes off his invisibility cloak and charges from the depths of the ocean floor. The shark opens its mouth at the very last second, allowing the diver to make a miracle-esque spear shot right into its open jaws. 

In Soviet Russia, bear runs from you!

This is one beary scary video, displaying a cameraman relaxing above a creek while he photographs the scenery. Suddenly, he notices a 700 pound Grizzly bear is sitting next to him closer than Monday seems on a Sunday. Be still, or be eaten!

Human, DO NOT PANIC. I WILL HELP YOU.

Here we see a loving polar bear trying to help a photographer out of a snowy situation. Actually, it’s not quite that peachy, as polar bears are one of the only animals in the world that see humans as food. If they’re hungry, and they smell you from over 100 miles away, they will hunt you down like Tom hunts Jerry on a regular basis. So, if you’re ever traveling in the arctic, make sure to have an action plan.

Wee Woo Wee Woo, WEE WOO WEE WOO. Don’t worry Patrick, the orca is just trying to help the doggo get back to his condo, he’s completely fine. 

Orcas are actually very similar to dolphins, in nature and in anatomy, and this little guy here was just looking for a friend. Both dolphins and orcas are considered to be the smartest of creatures, having multiple forms of communication. EeEeEeEeEeE (dolphin for I love you) too, young man!

Hey Jimmy, Is the Water Supposed To Do Th–

Whale whale whale, what do we have here? These divers are greeted by two Humpbacks meaning no harm to them, but one of the men is almost swallowed up by one of the creatures breaking the surface. Obviously, whales are warmhearted creatures, and would never use their enormous size to inflict harm on a human. But it’s the imagination, along with videos like these, that allows room for the question: what if? 

“As We Look at These Leaves Here, Excuse Me Sir We’re Filming a Documentary Do You Mind?”

In the lush forests of Rwanda, this extremely bold fellow has his reflexes checked by a full grown male silverback gorilla, and he doesn’t even flinch. A lot of animals do this charge as a test, bears are among these animals known to do this as well. You should never try to outrun an animal because you will never win (unless it’s a sloth, or a two legged bear). The best thing to do is stand, look big, and pray that it is, in fact, just a “test”.

Wow okay, I am like, SO claustrophobic right now.

What did the dad say to the son as this was happening? Bison. A group of tourists pushes their luck as they take pictures and one father begins to run, startling the 2,000 pound animal into self-defense mode. What is most impressive, though, is the fact that they were able to run at such speed wearing socks and sandals. 

So…. Whatcha Guys Talking About?

This sneaky Cheetah obviously wanted the full safari experience, scaling the front of the jeep in which these tourists resided. Of course, this is after the cheetah pulled a Kobe Bryant to the cameraman and acted like he was just taking a stroll through the savannah. *Queue Music* Little Kit Kitty, Little Kit Kitty…

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST?

Great Whites are the terror of the deep, as they are the biggest predatory sharks in the ocean. Cage diving never does guarantee a 100% successful return rate, and you can see why this is in the video. The shark is pursuing bait that the hosts of the experience have thrown in the water to attract attention, but the shark gets carried away, right through the cage of these terrified divers. 

Leg, TEACH ME HOW TO RUN FAST

This shark goes to make a quick snack of this diver, apparently deeming him too de-leg-table to pass up, as would any starving creature. Although most sharks reside only in salt water, bull sharks and river sharks are able to swim into fresh water. This means that they can travel as far and wide as they desire: down the Amazon River, up the Mississippi River, and they’ve even been spotted across India’s Ganges.

Squidward, WHERE ARE YOU? Shield Me with Your Forehead!

Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs? That’s the feeling of you narrowly escaping death, and getting crushed by a wheel is only one of the many ways you could meet a depressing demise. Crabs are naturally cannibalistic, the blue crab incredibly more so than most other species of crab and any other animal in the world. So don’t worry, Mr. Krabs is safe from a traitorous death, for now.
