The dangers presented by a tiger or great white shark are immediately apparent to the man, and contributes to the persecution and decline of these species. However, we must look beyond the obvious, to an unlikely crowd, strange creatures known or offer less pain as unexpected, and even death. Learn about fish that can stab you to death, the sworn enemy of Ahab in real life, and a rodent of the deadly forest, or just how dangerous a polar bear or Elk maybe. WARNING: This list contains a picture of a spider.

When wading cautiously into the ocean, no apprehension that we probably live form the mental image of a shark, and the possibility of being bitten. However, a strange threat lurks. Grow up to 3 feet in length, are extremely thin Needlefish hunters almost like a heron bill. Needlefish can swim at a speed of over 30 knots, and can cause fatal collisions with humans. In 1977, a child was wounded by a needlefish in Hawaii, while fishermen in the Philippines over fear sharks. Several other extremely disturbing deaths followed, including a swimmer whose eye was punctured, causing a fatal head injury. Needlefish spouts can break inside a person.

Although its lethality does not compare to the Cobra or rattlesnake, the presence of a poisonous and potentially deadly snake in the UK may come as a surprise. While almost all are venomous snakes closer to the equator, the common Adder live hedgerows, meadows and moors of the English countryside, and often bite humans when it comes in the gardens. Deaths are rare, so that the snake is not considered particularly dangerous, but more than 10 deaths occurred during the last 100 years, and death is always a possibility when bitten by the snake in English. Puff Adders grow to a meter in length, and can feed on rodents and birds.

Not Moby Dick may have been a matter of pure legend, after all. Reach a length of 20 meters, sperm whales are the largest toothed animal on the planet, and are capable of killing the biggest giant squid battles spectacular diving depth rabies thousands of meters below the surface. Humans once hunted whales for their sperm for use in oil lamps, but the stories suggest the tables were sometimes turned. In 1820, Essex and an auxiliary vessel was rammed by a sperm whale, killing the crew. More recently, a whale rammed a small boat in Japan, resulting in drowning.

The bubonic plague is a thing of the past, but in the forests of Canada and the northern United States, the extremely cute patrols Deermouse with white paws leaf litter and seeks strains protected trees. Disturbingly, these rodents are a deadly pathogen known as hantavirus, which can kill up to 40 percent of those exposed to the virus, which is often contained in the feces of rodents. Deaths may occur when scanning a campers cabin floor where mice droppings left, causing the fine dust in the air. The virus can then attack the lungs. In particularly serious cases, four campers died in Yosemite National Park in California after exposure to deer mice.

Tarantulas, especially the recently discovered giant species are often stereotyped as mortal animals with boas and relatively benign wolves. Although their bite is actually less severe than commonly believed, tarantulas are harmless way, and have a more insidious threat to humans. Porcupines are not, in fact, derive their spines, but the Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula is covered with “guard hairs” fine razor sharp and he can shoot with great force against a perceived threat. While death is unlikely, permanent loss of vision may cause an animal handler or hiker gets too close to a tarantula, causing hundreds of quills to be slaughtered in their face, they can lodge in the eyes .

With a name like “The Sea Wolf”, it should be immediately obvious that Hoplias Aymara is a good reason not to enter the waters of the Amazon. With thick gray scales and fins lobed, the wolf fish can weigh more than 80 pounds and reach over a meter in length. What they lack in length, they are pure width and strength. using their massive jaws studded with teeth like a dog, hunting the wolf fish as predators loins, and in many cases have been reported to have seized the man entered the water. the death of a dog was also attributed to this fish with nature and the necessary weapons to devastate its victims . wolffish closely related, the equivalent of high seas in this case, is just as dangerous, and “may attack objects in the water with its powerful teeth,” according to the warnings of the fishermen.

The American bison is a common symbol of the Wild West, but its identification as a provocative of deadly duels between man and animal is less known. Weighing more than 2,000 pounds and armed with deadly horns, the American bison, which is technically not a true buffalo can trample or gore to death any man who finds his way into the forbidden territory. In the early days of colonization, the Bison or “Buffalo” was considered a dangerous killer on par with the highly respected Grizzly Bear. The strength and speed of the bison in the hammer charges in response to a threat could spray a human victim, and ward off large predators, while helping shoes could also be fatal.
Wapiti
Although the concept of an angry bull can be ingrained in the human psyche, the elk or moose common is a lesser known but very real threat in the forest. Weighing up to 1,000 pounds, have a territorial male Wapiti massive rack of wood, while the females are armed with heavy hooves and also very protective. During the rutting season and livestock, human intruders at risk of being gored or trampled to death by these giant deer. In one case, a surly ungulate attacked a luger, and he could not save himself by firing flares in the beautiful but stupid. In one case, a farmer was killed by Elk allegedly domesticated. Maybe Estes Colorado is an imminent disaster.

The polar bear, unlike some entries in this list is a well-known animal. But fame can be followed by misconceptions and icon looking cute, fluffy and often sad anti-climate change movement is actually a serious threat to human life as Arctic communities stems. Polar bears are technically considered a marine mammal, but they are also the largest carnivores to walk the earth more than 1500 pounds. Capable of operating at more than 40 kilometers per hour, polar bears are able to quickly kill any element of prey they choose. In some cases, polar bears have even ripped in tents to extract human prey. A number of deaths have occurred over the years, but attacks are rare because of the isolation of the environment.

Legends such as Red Riding Hood give us largely unfounded fear that we place on wolves, the ancestors of domestic dogs. However, while the wolves are unlikely to kill humans, a number of maulings and fatal attacks, mainly for children took place in Australia, where the Dingo roams free. As the equivalent of Australia for the wolf, the dingo 40-70 pounds is a predator with a bone crushing bite, and the ability to make prey in packs. Compared to a gray wolf, aggressive Dingo can ask more for the man because of his addiction to the increased presence and opportunism human threat. Homeland defense may have played a role in some fatal attacks.
