You will probably want to stay away from these.

Cape Buffalo

A 1,500-pound beast charging at you with two huge horns is not a good sight. Add herd of thousands in makes it worst.
Polar Bear

One swipe from the claws can rip your head off easily.
Elephant

About 500 people die from elephant worldwide.
Australian Saltwater Crocodile

In a flash, it will lunge, bite, drown and kill the prey.
African Lion

With their speed, claws, fangs, they make near perfect hunters.
Great White Shark

Big? Yes. 3,000 teeth? Yes.
Australian Box Jellyfish

A small pot sized jellyfish with 60 15-feet tentacles. Each tentacle has 5,000 stinging cells, and toxin to kill 60 humans.
Asian Cobra

Not the most poisonous, but it helps greatly to the 50,000 deaths each year by snakes.
Homo Sapiens

What? Human? Not number one? Humans killing other humans are about 100,000 per year. Now go to number one and check that number.
Mosquito

The small little annoying pests are responsible for more than 2,000,000 human deaths.
