Millions of people suffer from these diseases because of mosquito bites. Malaria and Dengue both are very harmful and can kill people. This is why mosquitoes are at the top of our list.

There are snakes which are very poisonous and can kill you within some seconds. Snakes are very erri animals and can harm you if they think you are dangerous for them.

Lions are the king of the jungle for a definite reason. They are as deadly as the death itself. It is very hard to survive if you are a target of a lion in the jungle.it will surely chase you down and hunt you down. So it is recommended not to be a hero while going to any jungle safari where there are lions. They can kill you if they take you as a threat as well. But the good thing is lions do not attack humans. Humans are not their regular meal. Still they are killing 22 humans every year in Tanzania alone.

Crocodiles are silent killers when they are in the water. They fix their target, chase it, and catch it very cunningly. Crocodiles are the deadliest reptiles after snakes. Their teeth are very sharp. You could lose your leg if they catch and bite your legs. So you have to be very careful while visiting areas where crocodiles live. But crocodiles do not frequently eat humans.

Do not go by the videos of elephants you see on social media. Those videos are not of wild elephants. Wild elephants take humans as a threat and they can smash you with their legs, throw you using their trunk, or kill you anyway. So please do not disturb elephants if you encounter them during your jungle safari. But elephants generally avoid humans. This is a good thing.

They have beautiful and hard shells. If you step on them by any chance, these shells can sting into your feet which can cause septic.
