INTRODUCTION

Throughout the world, there exists a number of animal species that are capable of seriously harming (or killing) the human population at large. While many animals are completely harmless to humans, others are quite aggressive, dangerous, and incredibly venomous (or poisonous). From the deadly crocodile to the infamous tapeworm, this work examines the 10 most dangerous animals on the planet. It is the author’s hope that a better understanding (and appreciation) of these fascinating animals will accompany readers following their completion of this work.

Selection Criteria

In order to select (and rank) the world’s most dangerous animals, a number of basic criteria was necessary for the extents and purposes of this work. For this work, the term dangerous implies a species that is either highly aggressive or capable of causing serious harm (including) death in humans. With this in mind, each of the following animals were ranked (primarily) according to the overall number of fatalities that they inflict on humans annually (worldwide). While this criteria leaves room for various errors to occur, the author believes these are the best means for determining the world’s deadliest animals.
