  1. Does "deadliest" mean the lethal effectiveness of any attack, or the number of lethal attacks?

    If you were to ask a mosquito, its answer would probably be a bat.


  2. Tigers..they kill lots

    Or maybe the black mamba snake

  3. Chuck Norris.

    He is his own species, yes.

  4. Mosquito is the 1st and then hippopotamus as the 2nd place mammal.

  5. The hippo, I think.

  6. Deer cause the most human death and injury per year in the US, mostly from people hitting them with cars but also from unprovoked attacks.

    Also quite deadly is the platypus. The what? The platypus. While you're busy laughing at it, it will sneak up on you and chomp you. And the bugger is venomous. Yeah. Made out of spare parts, much?

  7. For simplicity's sake, we're going to assume you wish to know what animal is responsible for the most human deaths per year. Thankfully, the good people at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park have the answer.

    We were expecting a big fearsome creature like the crocodile, lion, or shark to be the most deadly. However, the real number-one killer is much smaller and far more annoying -- the mosquito.

    According to the Smithsonian, female Anopheles mosquitoes, which carry malaria, kill over 1 million people every year. The site Live Science agrees, rating the mosquito number one on its list of the top 10 deadliest animals.

    But what if you don't count the mosquito as an actual animal? In that case, it appears the hippopotamus is the deadliest. This article by Allan Taylor states, "More people are killed by the hippopotamus than any other wild animal, either by being trampled to death or having their boat capsized."

    Yikes, anyone up for a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos? Yeah, neither are we.

  8. Your mom.

  9. mammal may very well be a deer more people killed in car wreaks than by being attacked by anything

  10. Strange as it sounds, the Smithsonian National Zoological Park reports that more people are killed each year by the hippopotamus than any other wild animal, either by being trampled to death or having their boat capsized.

  11. Maybe the Polar Bear

  12. a whale?

  13. the Ninja!

  14. Hippo

    And mosquitoes arn't mammals. read the question ppl

  15. The house cat.

    Seemingly innocent, it takes over one's home and subjects a member of another species to a lifelong tyranny.  It's its own master, goes its own way, is very demanding and shows love only when it is good and ready.  It does not welcome strangers of any species into its home except under pretence.

    In addition, it does not pay taxes, does not vote, and crosses streets against traffic lilghts.
