Small mosquitoes actually rank tenth in the list of the deadliest animals.

The famous "Life Science" website in the United States recently launched the "Top Ten Animal Rankings" after doing a lot of surveys to many experts and readers. Tiny mosquitoes actually ranked first, followed by Asian cobras, box jellyfish, great white sharks, African lions, Australian marine crocodiles, polar bears, African bison, poison dart frogs and so on. In this most powerful era of mankind, there is always a reason why these animals can make the list. Let's re-recognize their deadly housekeeping weapon!

One of the deadly weapons: "virus bomb"

For human beings, mosquitoes are the number one "terrorist" in the animal kingdom, and their specialty weapon is biological weapons. Mosquito ranks first not because it is fierce, but because it can throw some "virus bombs"-plasmodium to you when it sucks blood. More than 2 million people die every year. Among all the deadly animals, mosquitoes are rare unprotected animals. Kill them!

The second deadly weapon: psychedelic poison

Most poisonous animals are not very big, and may even be weak. Evolving toxic organs may be a favorable choice for their generations to reproduce. As humans set foot in more and more areas, these rare and highly toxic animals have also become a potential threat to human beings. Cobra venom has existed since ancient times, and the second place is well deserved. After being bitten by a cobra, the victim will feel numb and eventually fall into a coma and die. Every year, about 50,000 people are killed by cobras. Many people are not familiar with the third-ranked Australian box jellyfish. It is the most poisonous animal in the ocean. The number of tentacles of this jellyfish can reach as many as 60, each of which is 4.6 meters long. At the top of each tentacle, there are more than 5,000 stinging cells and enough toxins to kill 60 people, which can make people die in a few minutes. The poison dart frog covered in blue and inlaid with gold patterns can only be seen in the humid rain forests of South America. Poisonous glands are distributed in the skin of poison dart frogs. The poisonous substance of poison dart frog will destroy the normal activity of nervous system and lead to the death of other animals.

The third deadly weapon: bloodthirsty fangs and claws

The American horror movie Jaws pushed the little-known great white shark to the forefront of deadly animals, because it is the most aggressive of all shark species. In its maw, 56 serrated teeth are divided into 7 rows, which can easily cut any meat. They will bite their prey, shake the top from side to side and cut the meat like a saw. The lion is known as the "king of beasts", and it is naturally rude to humans who dare to offend it. Nine months after the Kenya Railway was built, 135 people were killed, all of them were victims of man-eating lions. Among carnivores, lion's teeth are the best for biting people. The upper and lower jaws have a pair of sharp teeth, which bite like two sharp edges of scissors. Australian marine crocodiles can stay still in the water and wait for passers-by to deliver them to their doors. In the blink of an eye, they will suddenly pounce on their prey, drag it into the water, drown it, dismember it, and finally begin to enjoy it. After biting their prey, these crocodiles shook violently to tear their opponents, and their jaws closed at an amazing speed of 1/25 seconds.

The fourth deadly weapon: savage power

With the rampant poaching, the natural environment is becoming more and more unsatisfactory, and some large animals are more easily angered and become wild and cruel. In our impression, elephants are good helpers of human beings, but we should know that not all elephants are so docile and friendly to people, and it may be their closeness to people that makes them deadly killers. Around the world, more than 500 people die every year from the attack of elephants, and many others die from the terrible trampling of elephants. Polar bears are the largest animal species in Xiong Ke, and they are the "kings of the Arctic Circle". Apart from humans, they have few natural enemies. They are powerful and can kill with one blow. People who invade polar bear territory are killed by polar bears every year. African bison are considered to be one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. The wounded bison attacked people with their sharp horns. African bison used to be widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, wandering in places with water and grass. Due to the outbreak of rinderpest in Africa at the end of 19, many African bison were killed unfortunately, and their numbers decreased sharply. But people who meet a herd of bison head-on are still hanging by a thread!

Why are many beasts not on the list?

This selection surprised many people, because many animals on the list are often reported to have been violated by human beings, such as naive elephants, polar bears, African bison and poison dart frogs. Everyone lives in a remote place except mosquitoes. If you want to see them, you must pay to see them in the zoo. How could it be fatal? In addition, traditional offensive beasts (such as tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, etc. ) are not on the list. What is the reason? This is because the "lethality" standard of this ranking is "how big is its threat to mankind". Many people posted comments on the Internet, saying that if people count as human beings, the most deadly animals should also be counted as human beings. People not only hurt millions of their own kind because of war and crime, but also ate many other animals and occupied their territory. It is precisely because of the threat of human beings that traditional beasts such as tigers, leopards, bears and wolves have gone from common to extinction. They have been hiding in inaccessible places for a long time, and the threat to human beings has been negligible because of their small number and remote living places. Except mosquitoes, other animals on the list rarely attack humans on their own initiative. Most of them only defend themselves instinctively when humans hurt them or invade their territory.
