The Earth is home for different kinds of floras and faunas. People encounter them every day. For faunas, some people even domesticate certain animals and take care of them in their own homes. However, there are also several species that are too dangerous for a person to be playing with. No matter the size, whether big or small, people should always take the necessary precautionary measures when dealing with these animals. Here are some of the most dangerous animals:
Jellyfish
These species live in seawater. If one looks at it, the specie seems to be a calm and quiet one, even pleasing to the eye because of its translucent body. However, its sting causes the death of many other sea animals that it touches. Even people who are stung by this animal may die. If they are lucky enough to escape death, they will certainly feel excruciating pain on the body part where they were stung.
Black Mamba
A black mamba is a kind of snake. Even if a cobra may look more frightening to some people, this black mamba is considered to be more dangerous. It moves at an incredible speed and often chases its victim. It strikes swiftly even if the victim has not provoked it, whatsoever.
Cape Buffalo
This specie is commonly found in the grasslands of Africa. Even if it has not been provoked, it will charge on its victims at a good speed. Its asset is its weight, a whooping 2,000 pounds. Aside from that, even if they are already injured, shot, or bleeding, it will still continue charging until its victim dies. It also charges lions and other predators.
Scorpion
There are several species of venomous scorpions. Most children die due to their bites. For adults, they will feel a lot of pain if a scorpion bites them.
Puffer Fish
A puffer fish may look very cute on the outside but they are as deadly as any other venomous animals. If they feel threatened, they immediately puff out their spines which are very poisonous. Such poison can cause paralysis. If it happens to a person while swimming, he will stop breathing and leads to his death. Due to its venom, a person may also die from eating a puffer fish that has not been properly cooked.
Stonefish
The body of a stonefish is covered in poison. It does looks like a stone to naturally mimic its surroundings. It does such action to avoid predators and also catch preys. It is very fast and very difficult to see. For this matter, a person may possibly lose his leg if he mistakenly steps on it. He can even die from the poison.
Mosquito
This insect is a well known carrier of deadly diseases such as dengue, malaria, filariasis, yellow fever and others. However, only the female insect carries such disease. Death tolls of up to two million per year are attributed to mosquito-related diseases.
Africanized Honey Bee
This insect is also known as a killer bee. It naturally has a defensive behavior but can be defensive when threatened. Killer bees usually chase their victims in swarms and at a much longer distance than regular bees.
