Mosquitos

Mosquitoes are carriers of deadly diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus. Use mosquito repellents and avoid stagnant water areas.

Snakes 

Venomous snakes like the black mamba, rattlesnake, and cobra can deliver fatal bites. Be cautious in areas where they are known to live, and avoid provoking or handling them.

Crocodiles

Crocodiles are powerful predators and their bites can be deadly. Maintain a safe distance and avoid swimming in areas where they are present.

Cone Snails

Cone snails have venom that can be fatal to humans. Be careful when handling them or walking in areas where they are found.

Hippopotamus

Despite their appearance, hippos are extremely aggressive and territorial. Avoid getting too close to them, especially when they are in the water.

Bees and Wasps

 Allergic reactions to bee and wasp stings can be life-threatening for some individuals. Be cautious around their nests and hives.

Scorpion

While most scorpion stings are not fatal to humans, some species, like the deathstalker scorpion, can deliver extremely potent and potentially deadly venom.

Stonefish

Well-camouflaged Stonefish have venomous spines that can cause excruciating pain and potentially fatal injuries if stepped on.

Elephants

 The mighty Elephants are generally calm but can be dangerously aggressive, trampling humans to death with their sheer size.

Humans

No-brainer that humans are one the deadliest animals owing to their violent and conflicting nature. Be wary of human threats as well as dangerous wildlife.
