Number 1 is Mosquito.Humans Killed Per Year: Different sources report anywhere from 725,000 to 1 million.Mosquitos are responsible for more than 830,000 deaths per year. And, unfortunately, that makes sense. Mosquitos not only leave an itchy bite, but they are also carriers of illnesses and diseases, including Zika, malaria, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile and yellow fever — all of which are fatal.
Number 2 is Snake.Humans Killed Per Year: Different sources report anywhere from 25,000 to 100,000.Some of the most dangerous snakes live alongside people in areas where access to anti-venom and medical care is limited (such as India). Other snakes, such as pythons or anacondas, will simply squeeze and crush you to death. Oh, and all the cobra has to do is spit venom on your face to kill you.
Number 3 is Dog.Humans Killed Per Year: About 25,000 to 30,000.Dogs infected with rabies are the ones who generally kill humans. The World Health Organization reports that dogs contribute to 99 percent of all rabies transmissions to humans.
Number 4 is Freshwater Snail.Humans Killed Per Year: Between 10,000 and 20,000.Death by snail is no way to die. No, they won’t catch you or touch you, but they are responsible for transmitting Schistosomiasis, a disease that infects the urinary tract and intestines.The disease spreads by contact with freshwater that’s been contaminated with parasites released by the freshwater snails.
Number 5 is Assassin Bug.Humans Killed Per Year : About 10,000 to 12,000.As the name implies, an assassin bug kills. It bites your skin, sucks your blood and transmits a disease called Chagas disease, which causes infection and inflammation of human tissues.
Number 6 is Tsetse Fly.Humans Killed Per Year : 10,000.A bite from a tsetse fly (pronounced set-si fly) is, to put it simply, unpleasant. The fly saws into your skin, transmits a disease called African trypanosomiasis (or sleeping sickness) and continues on its way.
Number 7 is Ascaris Roundworm.Humans Killed Per Year: 2,500.Ascaris roundworms are parasitic worms that cause an infection of the small intestine. Humans can get infected with roundworms by ingesting infective eggs. Infection happens when contaminated hands are put in the mouth or by consuming raw produce that has not been washed, cooked or peeled.
Number 8 is Crocodile.Humans Killed Per Year: 1,000 .Crocodiles look as vicious as they are. These dinosaur-like reptiles are the eighth-deadliest animal in the world, killing about 1,000 humans each year. Of the 27 crocodile species, seven are extremely dangerous to humans.
Number 9 is Tapeworm.Humans Killed Per Year: 700.This small but mighty parasite is one of the world’s deadliest animals because it transmits infections called cysticercosis or taeniasis. Humans get tapeworm by eating raw or undercooked beef or pork.
Number 10 is Hippopotamus.Humans Killed Per Year : 500.Hippos are extremely aggressive and territorial animals. If threatened on land, hippos can match a human’s speed and kill them. They spend about 16 hours a day in the water and only leave the water to eat.
