The wild is known to some of the cutest animals on the planet, but is also known for some of the most deadly animals too. Number one on the most deadliest animals in the deathstalker, which is a scorpion. This deadly animal is responsible for 3 quarters of scorpion deaths.

The next deadliest in the wild is the largest reptile in the world, the saltwater crocodile. This reptile is responsible for over 100 attacks every year. They have the strongest bite of any animal in existence with a bite applying 3500 pounds of pressure per square inch. This reptile will only consider you as prey if you venture into their territory.

The third deadliest animal is also one of the largest land animals and would not be expected as very deadly, the african elephant. They are known to be very aggressive without a warning which means they are one of the more unpredictable animals on the planet. It’s especially dangerous because people go on safaris through africa and come up close with this animal. Almost every year there is a story with an elephant going through a village and trampling a bunch of people.

The next animal is responsible for killing the most humans on the continent of africa. It’s the hippopotamus which is not very deadly but the most aggressive and like the elephant, very unpredictable. They weigh about 3,300-4000 pounds and still have the ability to be able to run about 20 miles per hour and can also decimate safari vehicles without doing much work at all.
