Fire ants are attracted to HIV. Those are 54,000 Africans.

I'll vote for Humans. They are particularly dangerous. As a pictoral representation, I give you Chesty Puller. Marines can give me +internets if they can find where the button is. Even as an Army vet, I have to acknowledge a badass when there is one.

What about this little beauty. Unlike the other poisonous/venomous stuff that was posted on this thread, there is no antidote or cure for this one. You eat it and you die. Fucked up thing is it looks so much like many of the mushrooms that are edible.

Wild Boars...

Brown Recluse Spiders...

Bees...

or anything else James has had a first hand encounter with.

I realize it may not kill as many humans as other animals, but if I had to choose any animal to kill me, this would be at the very bottom of the list.



The Komodo dragon's diet is wide-ranging, and includes invertebrates, other reptiles (including smaller Komodo dragons), birds, bird eggs, small mammals, monkeys, wild boar, goats, deer, horses, and water buffalo[20]. Young Komodos will eat insects, eggs, geckos, and small mammals.[3] Occasionally they have been known to consume humans and human corpses, digging up bodies from shallow graves to do so.[14] This habit of raiding graves caused the villagers of Komodo to move their graves from sandy to clay ground and pile rocks on top of them to deter the lizards.[18] The Komodo dragon may have evolved to feed on the extinct dwarf elephant Stegodon that once lived on Flores, according to evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond.[21] The Komodo dragon has also been observed intentionally startling a pregnant deer in the hopes of a miscarriage whose remains they can eat, a technique that has also been observed in large African predators.[21]


The larger species of crocodiles are very dangerous to humans. The main danger that crocodiles pose is not their ability to run after a person but their ability to strike before the person can react. The Saltwater and Nile Crocodiles are the most dangerous, killing hundreds of people each year in parts of south-east Asia and Africa. Mugger crocodiles and possibly the endangered Black Caiman, are also very dangerous to humans. American alligators are less aggressive and rarely assault humans without provocation. The most deaths in a single crocodile attack incident may have occurred during the Battle of Ramree Island, on February 19, 1945, in Burma. Nine hundred soldiers of an Imperial Japanese Army unit, in an attempt to retreat from the Royal Navy and rejoin a larger battalion of the Japanese infantry, crossed through ten miles (16 km) of mangrove swamps which contained Saltwater Crocodiles. Twenty Japanese soldiers were captured alive by the British, and almost five hundred are known to have escaped Ramree. Many of the remainder may have been eaten by the crocodiles, although gunfire from the British troops was undoubtedly a contributory factor.

I may be wrong, but I could have sworn that crocodiles regularly wait for herds to cross rivers and other bodies of water and try to snag animals on the edges and rear. Might be an instinct to hunt brought on be a large number of idiots in water, or at least a natural inclination to do so.

+1 on that mushroom, I remember hunting down mushroom's in high school. Got a book on it and found a few psilocybin one's but came across the fly and the death cap once. Scary shit, if I didn't read that book I probably wouldn't be posting this.

Animals I wouldn't fuck with

Bears
Deer
that cute little dart frog...Would be a horrible death.
Bee's
Hippo's
elephants
pitbulls

Don't forget this little guy

Blue-ringed octopus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They're not aggressive towards people, but if you step on one or try to handle it, you are probably fucked

What's an animals you don't fuck with thread without snakes!

Well, it seems the one snake that has the most lethal venom is the Inland Taipan from Australia. (surprise surprise) It has enough venom to kill 100 adult humans. Inland Taipan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



However, since they're timid and don't live in populated areas, death from such a snake's bite is uncommon.


So here are some snakes that although not as venomous as the Inland Taipan, are much more dangerous to humans because of their aggressive nature, their vicinity to human populations and thus are responsible for many many more fatalities:

Do you know anything about spiders? or polar bears?

Speaking of octopi, this motherfucker has haunted my dreams since first watching Planet Earth at a friend's house.

[Joshthegreat2005]

This spider.

[Cybsled]

I guess he didn't want to save up to %15 on his car insurance.

Back to Saltwater crocs, my grandfather was a marine in the Pacific and he had some pretty nasty stories about Guadalcanal + the crocs. I think it was the Tenu river or something...the marines killed so many Japanese that it started to block up the river. At night he could hear the crocs munching on the bodies. Oiy.

Wtf is everyone so afraid of bees? Hornets are scary, killer bees as well, regular bees? fuck no.... If you aren't stupid enough to fuck with a bee hive or wasps' nest you're probably ok. Hornets are easier to piss off on a 1 on 1 basis and killer bees I really wouldn't want to fuck with but afraid? Killer bees are rare as hell. Hornets I've dealt with, run the fuck away when you meet those bitches, Maybe spray their nest from a long fucking distance but even that shit is scary imo.
