Most Dangerous Animal in the World

The most dangerous animal in the world may surprise you. If you think a little bit, it is kind of obvious. Humans are the most dangerous creatures on the earth. But do you know what the second most dangerous animal world is? This one is harder to figure out.

Most people's first thought is an animal that is ferocious and aggressive like a lion or a wolf. A bear may pop to your mind, but hippos actually kill more people every year than these animals. You may think a large animal like an elephant is one of the most dangerous, but smaller animals such as tapeworms and the tsetse fly kill more people. If you choose a snake, you are getting close.

The small mosquito is actually the second most dangerous animal in the world.Mosquitoes may mostly be just a nuisance in the Triad part of North Carolina, but in other areas of the world, like Africa, the mosquito is a prolific killer. Malaria is the number one disease in the world that kills people and this disease is carried by and transferred by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are vectors and can carry several diseases and transfer these diseases to their offspring.

Even in the Greensboro, High Point, and Winston Salem area of North Carolina a mosquito bite in your backyard may be more than an itchy bump. Mosquitoes here can carry the West Nile Virus and heartworms that can have a deadly effect on your pets.
