Scary sharks and bloodthirsty bears are not at all the most dangerous animals for humans, scientists say. For example, a cute hippo kills 50 times more than a shark. This is the story of the French TV channel TF1.
The expert calls the death of a Frenchman who was attacked by a bear in Canada "the rarest case." “The most evil does not mean the most dangerous,” the zoologist says. He cites statistics as an example: "only" 10 deaths are recorded on average per year from shark attacks. Hippos attack curious people who try to approach them 50 times more often. It is the hippopotamus that is called the most dangerous animal in Africa.
Dog attacks in the world kill 25 thousand people a year, on account of snakes 1,000 victims, and small and harmless-looking mosquitoes, carriers of dangerous diseases, are the leaders in this list. They account for about 100 thousand deaths a year.
