Which animal is more dangerous?

Question

a snake or a shark

Answer 1

Snakes. They are more common, and can be cornered, leading to bites.

Sharks attack usually only when provoked. Also, their attacks cause trauma injuries, whereas snake bites cause minor trauma, but their bite can be toxic.

Answer 2

snakes

best of luck!!

keep smiling:))))

Answer 3

Given that we are land-dwelling animals, we have more chance of encountering a venomous snake than we have of encountering a shark. However, you have more chance of being killed by lightning than by either of these animals. They are not out to get you - snakes will bite only in self-defence, and shark-bites are generally the result of the shark mistaking the person for a seal.

Answer 4

Well if you go by the figures snakes kill way more people than sharks do

Also, in my opinion, the meathod snakes have is so much better fast acting poisen is gonna disorientate and kill your prey alot faster than flailing wildly

Answer 5

I think a snakes,and they are creepier

Answer 6

I would guess a snake. A shark you will only find in the water. Snakes are found almost everywhere. Snakes also have venom and other methods of attack that are both silent and deadly.

Answer 7

Who to? Animals are never dangerous it is the way people interfere with them that causes problems. Animals are only living their lives & do not attack uneccessarily.

Answer 8

there are more snake bites per year than shark attacks so i would say snakes

Answer 9

Of Course,Snake.

Answer 10

A snake because they are poisonous and they kill more than sharks,but shark attacks are uncommon and they are more dangerous when your near them when they scent blood near you or you make sharks believe your something else like seals,penquins,fish,walruses,etc.So yes Snakes are what you want to worry about.

Answer 11

a snake...

Answer 12

Thew snake is but the shark is horrible too.

Answer 13

I think maybe Both. they possibly both eat humans.

Answer 14

depends on the snake depends on the shark:)

Answer 15

Just check the numbers:

Shark attacks are very rare (attacks:less than 100 per year, but take note that even a simple scratch from a 12 inches baby shark is still counted as an attack; and an average of 5 deaths per year in the whole World).

But snake attacks are about 2.5 MILLIONS bites per year, resulting in perhaps 125,000 deaths per year in the whole World.

Besides it's very hard to have a close encounter with a shark in your backyard or your daily routine.

Answer 16

you'd have a better chance of encountering a snake before a shark although there is such a variety of snakes chances are it wont be dangerous were you live and if you encounter a shark it is possible for them to just ignore you but overall if we're talking about the most dangerous snake against most dangerous shark i'd say the snake... one bite and your gone, while a shark will have to fight.

Answer 17

Depends on the type of snake (poisonous or non) and the continent they are located on (see sources) or type of shark (man-eater, mammal eater or fish eater).  There are 375-400 different species of shark and out of the approximately 2,700 species of snakes on the planet, less than 600 are poisonous (see sources).

Personally, I wouldn't take chances with either species.  I used to work at a pet emporium and found both species too unpredictable.

Answer 18

Snake.  Plenty of snakes where I live, no sharks.

Answer 19
