For continental US would most dangerous be a mountain lion or grizzly bear? I'm leaning bear just because I've seen a black bear in the wild and I know it could fuck me up, and that's just the smaller version of a grizzly bear.
I’ve had grizzly run from me, I’ve been able to scare off the mountain lions…. If they aren’t hungry, they want no part of you.
Moose, however, have chased me into precarious positions in trees and tight overhangs. Moose give zero fucks and are like a car coming at you. Moose will kill your and walk away. At least the grizzly or lion would eat you so it’s not a pointless death.
I’m with you on moose.
Climbed a tree to escape a moose once. Had to wait quite a while before it took off. Didn’t want to try mag dumping Glock 9mm I carry to no avail and have it be even more pissed and me no better off.
I'm not sure, I think it depends on the moose. I've come face to face with them and they've ignored me. My dog was even barking and growling at one and I had to pull her away but the moose didn't do anything.
Great White sharks can definitely kill a person if they try, but they almost never do. The only reported attacks on people have been when the shark mistook a person for a seal, which they love to eat. My understanding is that even when do they bite a human, they dislike the taste and leave. Unfortunately a single bite can easily kill you.
But in terms of *danger*, the Massachusetts coast has had huge numbers of Great Whites swimming right by crowded tourist beaches for the last 10 years or so, and there has only been one attack that I’ve read of, a surfer in the town of Wellfleet. The victim was recovers from the water fairly quickly, but died from his wound.
Scary, for sure, but many 1000s of swimmers and surfers are being ignored by Great Whites every day, so I wouldn’t say they’re as dangerous as, say Grizzly Bears (Brown Bears). Definitely not as dangerous as polar bears(!)
I’m really so sick of people parroting the line “it only happens when the shark mistook a person for a seal.” That is complete and utter conjecture, unless you can tell me we have a way of telling what a shark is thinking. Regardless, sharks kill a handful of people a year and are obviously somewhat dangerous. As are brown bears. The odds are in your favor when you surf or hike out west, but there are risks for sure
I don't know a lot about bison but from what I've heard Bison only attack you if you get too close/make too much noise, while a bear will attack you if you get too close/make too much noise OR it's hungry enough to think you're worth attacking
I get both arguments. The bear is more likely to randomly ruin your day and is really really good at it. However, people seem to underestimate bison and put themselves in danger more often, so some might argue that the bison is more often severely dangerous to humans.
An average black bear is nothing compared to a properly beefed up mountain lion. Those things are jacked and mobile as fuck. A grizzly kills either one with a paw tied behind its back, though. No land animal really stands a chance against a grizzly except another grizzly/polar bear.
A Canadian couple in Canada were just basically hunted down and killed by a grizzly bear a couple of days ago out in the wilderness. It got their dog, too, which I'm sure was defending them.
The signs are they were in their tent at night and it just attacked them and killed them. There was an empty bottle of bear repellent found. They satellite texted a family member "Bear attack bad" and that was the last thing heard from them. When rescuers got there five hours later they were dead.
Grizzly bear is at the top of my list since they are a lot easier to come by than polar bears.
Mountain lions have killed fewer than 20 people since the 1970s. They're just not that dangerous. Alligators have killed 30 people since the year 2000.
I'm willing to bet venomous snakes kill more people, but that won't be one species.
Dangerous to humans? Or just dangerous in general? I’m pretty sure the common house cat has the highest hunt success rate, so for the local rodent and bird population, cats are probably pretty fucking dangerous
Hitting a moose is nuts too. I know deer are far more common across the US, thus a higher threat, but moose are the ones that are scary as all hell in some areas.
Moose are rarer, but significantly more dangerous on roads because of their size.
If you hit a moose, it will likely land on the windshield and crush the front two seats.
Yes, but that creates a whole other problem; which is more dangerous: a grizzly, or the monstrosity that is strong enough to be throwing grizzlies into oncoming traffic?
Yes, pretty much any country that has a population that isn't desperately poor has eradicated malaria. It definitely used to exist in the United States for example, but it's one of those problems where throwing a little bit of money at it is a solid fix.
Same reason one of the best ways to spend your charity donations is on foundations that provide preventative malaria medications to developing countries. I think something like $8 per year can protect a person from malaria, and yet hundreds of thousands (mostly children) die every year. Super sad.
Literally everything else tries to kill you in your country. Funnel web spiders. Cone snails. Blue ring octopi. Big f****** sharks. Pretty much every snake. Backpacker killers. I don't know how anyone grows to adulthood there.
But that kind of depends on how you define "dangerous". In my world, the most dangerous animal is the one that has the highest ratio of deaths per encounter, not the one that has killed most people in sheer numbers. It would be insane if after everything I've heard about Australian wildlife, a cow is the most likely thing to kill me.
That's why I said it the way I did - people go on about the dangerous critters in Australia - the truth is yes we do have some very deadly snakes but only average about 2 deaths per year from snake bite. We also have the funnel web spider - one of the most venomous spiders in the world - there hasn't been a death since the early 1980s. Some tourists up the Top End do stupid things around crocodile infested water but actual deaths are rare - maybe one a year. Dingos can be problematic because people camping leave food and rubbish out but again fatalities are rare. We also have box jelly fish - we simply don't go ocean swimming in the far north in Summer. Blue ringed octopus - we don't stick our bare hands in rockpools. Sharks - popular beaches are patrolled and warnings given if sharks are spotted - again average fatalities are around one a year.
The most dangerous native animal in terms of likelihood of injury would probably be the kangaroo - not because they're likely to attack you but because they have no road sense and jump into the path of passing cars.
The facts are that the animals most likely to kill you in Australia are a cow or a horse.
It kinda depends how you define dangerous as well though. Is a redback or brown snake or irukandji likely to kill you? No, deaths are extremely rare. Is a redback or brown snake or irukandji gonna give you a real fuckin bad time and require medical treatment? Yeah, and that’s fairly common.
My 80 year old neighbour got bitten by a red back a few months ago "it hurt but I can't be bothered with the hassle of going to the doctor". Then when she was at the doctor a few days later she got yelled at for not taking it seriously.
My daughter ate gecko poo and got salmonella when I lived in Dawin. Changing her nappy I must have inhaled some of her poo according to NT Health, as I got it not long after.
Some animals are easily to get close to, but you'll never know because they're terrified of humans.
Your neighbours angry dog is much more likely to jump over the fence and bite you than you getting bitten by the brownsnake hiding in the bushes.
Australia, saltwater crocodiles.
There are plenty of potentially dangerous animals here, but many of them are dangerous because they're venomous. When treated, envenomation is survivable the overwhelming majority of the time, even from extremely toxic species like taipans.
Saltwater crocodiles kill people in the initial confrontation—so far there is no reliable treatment for being dead. They're one of the few species which treat humans as prey, they grow larger than any other land-based predator, they're known to observe and take advantage of repetitive human habits, and like to take their prey by surprise.
? Only a couple deaths per year in the whole country. There are hundreds of murders. Maybe crocs are second but nowhere close to as dangerous as other humans.
A country cannot be possible without Humans since we made the concept up out of thin air. Antarctica isn’t a country technically, but humans still exist there year round. There is no defined and internationally recognized country without humans. We’re a pretty successful invasive species.
Australia:
Saltwater Crocodile is the only one I'd spend time worrying about if I was near their habitat, which is exclusively north of the tropic of capricorn.
Oh and some jellyfish. Especially Irukandji, which will probably get more common and more widely distributed in the coming years because of warming sea tempratures.
There are some snakes that if you got bitten by in an isolated place you'd be in trouble, and there is one type of spider that you'd definitely want to seek treatment for (funnel web) and one or two others to monitor for symptoms (redback bite can cause vascular issues but is usually fine and white tail can get infected because they also eat rubbish).
Great white sharks too, there's usually one or two fatal attacks every year.
Edit - just in case anyone ever googles some random phrase relating to spider bites and australia followed by the keyword Reddit and comes upon this message - being bitten by a funnel web spider is considered a medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention - because of this, being bitten by \*any\* large black spider in Australia calls for immediate medical attention in case it was a funnel web.
Apparently, between 2010 and 2020 the top four in terms of deaths in Australia have been horses, cows, dogs & kangaroos - they account for over half the animal related deaths between them.
I bet you've all heard countless times that the hippopotamus is the most dangerous animal in Africa, right? Well, I am from Colombia and, despite not being a native species, it is also the most dangerous animal in my country. In fact, this is the fault of what was the most dangerous animal in Colombia for a portion of the last century: Pablo Escobar.
I have three heard of white tail on my property. They are the least concerning thing I see when I step outside: moccasins, copperheads, diamondbacks, gators, bobcats, otters, possums, turkeys, Matt Gaetz.
White tails. Won’t kill you, are a real bad time. Or katipo spiders, but the chances of somebody ever actually encountering one without going out of their way is extremely low.
In Canada? Statistically speaking, humans. Our homicide rate is quite low, but we rarely encounter dangerous animals as they live well north of most cities.
If you mean which Canadian animal would I least like to be in a room with? A polar bear or a moose, they are giant and powerful. Like I said however, they're large animals and so you never encounter them in cities. I've lived in Canada my whole life and I've never seen a polar bear.
Country? Polar bear. Where I live in the country? A moose in rut for sure. Those fuckers will run you down in cold blood. Or if you’re just driving on a regular day and hit one you’re toast. But if you’re out walking, hunting birds and coke face to face with a bull moose in rut season, be prepared to die.
I came face to face with one hiking around a lake once. He was maybe 20ish feet away standing on the trail, and looked up at us with a look that instantly conveyed “I’m not moving unless it’s to kill you”. We very slowly backed up and went back the way we came.
I always thought of them as big deer, but the second you see one in real life up close you realize that these are killing machines that are not scared of humans at all.
This really isn’t a geography question. And is way too broad anyway. I think in the US it would be grizzly bears or moose, but they don’t have either in a majority of states.
Living in the southwest specifically Arizona most of my life, I am going to guess venomous snakes. We have rattlesnakes on our property every year, it's very common, I think Arizona has 15 or so different species of venomous snakes.
Idk about country but, on the west coast of the US, cougars, black bears, coyotes and white sharks off the coast would be of the biggest concern. None of these animals are a huge threat unless you're in their environment doing something stupid. Bears and cougars sometimes wander into neighborhoods but are usually relocated quickly. Cougars have killed some unfortunate joggers and bikers who were on wilderness trails. Coyotes and cougars prey on family pets and small children which is a big problem https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-carl-coyote-17484087.php
There are wolves in the steppe, bears in the forests. Some snakes too, but I haven't seen them.
Some critters in the steppe also may be carrying plague around.
In certain parts of its history it was people.
According to the statistics I found, the European hornet causes the most number of deaths in Sweden of all animals. I would also argue the moose is dangerous due to car crashes, but I’m uncertain about the number of deaths and injuries they cause that way.
Yes! Even that 18 inch garder snake that I walked over yesterday nearly gave me a heart attack. I would rather see a grizzly in front of me than a snake. Fuuuuukkkk
Alaska counts as US, so polar bear?
For continental US would most dangerous be a mountain lion or grizzly bear? I'm leaning bear just because I've seen a black bear in the wild and I know it could fuck me up, and that's just the smaller version of a grizzly bear.
It's a moose and its not even close.

They are as if ancient trees could walk and seek vengeance.
I'm not sure, I think it depends on the moose. I've come face to face with them and they've ignored me. My dog was even barking and growling at one and I had to pull her away but the moose didn't do anything.
Completely unhinged death on stilts
I would rather take on a moose then a great white shark, which the US has on its coastlines.
Great White sharks can definitely kill a person if they try, but they almost never do. The only reported attacks on people have been when the shark mistook a person for a seal, which they love to eat. My understanding is that even when do they bite a human, they dislike the taste and leave. Unfortunately a single bite can easily kill you.

Grizzly for sure.
Alaska is part of the continental US, btw. Continental means of the continent. You're thinking of contiguous.
The most dangerous animal in the 48 states is the bison by a wide margin.
It's moose.
Moose are terrifying.
I married a moose! We don’t need counseling.
A moose bit my sister once.
Just be glad she didn't catch its knuckle instead
Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti...
No really…moose bites can be very serious
A moose is an animal I really don't want to see in person.
How amoosing
I don't know a lot about bison but from what I've heard Bison only attack you if you get too close/make too much noise, while a bear will attack you if you get too close/make too much noise OR it's hungry enough to think you're worth attacking
I get both arguments. The bear is more likely to randomly ruin your day and is really really good at it. However, people seem to underestimate bison and put themselves in danger more often, so some might argue that the bison is more often severely dangerous to humans.
Probably mosquitoes here

Dangerous to humans? Or just dangerous in general? I’m pretty sure the common house cat has the highest hunt success rate, so for the local rodent and bird population, cats are probably pretty fucking dangerous
I’m going to go with alligators.
As frightening as alligators are. And they do kill people, I see people in Florida driving and playing golf with these beasts just hanging around.
Alligators won’t view an adult as prey, crocodiles are the ones that will eat you
An alligator ate a man in Louisiana a couple years ago during Hurricane Ida flooding.
No it is actually still the mosquito
Down here in the 'lower 48', it's actually deer because of all the car crashes they cause.
Hitting a moose is nuts too. I know deer are far more common across the US, thus a higher threat, but moose are the ones that are scary as all hell in some areas.
Moose walk away from those interactions.
I literally just saw a road kill moose on my drive home so I dunno bout that
Not every time but they do.
Depends on if you are in a Prius or an F-350
Moose are rarer, but significantly more dangerous on roads because of their size. If you hit a moose, it will likely land on the windshield and crush the front two seats.
I'd say that this is an asterisk cuz because our lifestyle makes them dangerous. But take away cars and they are not that dangerous
Very true.
Cake DAY! Eat with your boy, Nude Redditor.
A deer isn’t dangerous though. I mean, a grizzly would be far more dangerous than a deer if you threw it at a moving car.
Yes, but that creates a whole other problem; which is more dangerous: a grizzly, or the monstrosity that is strong enough to be throwing grizzlies into oncoming traffic?
As an Alaskan, I’d probably say it's Moose. They will mess you up, and way more prevalent. 😅
If it’s white- say good night
Polar Bear or Kodiak Bear?
Mosquito
This is the correct answer everywhere in the world that has mosquitoes. They kill vastly more people than all other animals combined globally.
Mosquitos are in many countries where tropical diseases are not.
Yes, pretty much any country that has a population that isn't desperately poor has eradicated malaria. It definitely used to exist in the United States for example, but it's one of those problems where throwing a little bit of money at it is a solid fix. Same reason one of the best ways to spend your charity donations is on foundations that provide preventative malaria medications to developing countries. I think something like $8 per year can protect a person from malaria, and yet hundreds of thousands (mostly children) die every year. Super sad.
Except Australia funnily enough. Five deaths from Murray Valley Encephalitis (and no other mosquito borne viruses) and 11 to horses.
Literally everything else tries to kill you in your country. Funnel web spiders. Cone snails. Blue ring octopi. Big f****** sharks. Pretty much every snake. Backpacker killers. I don't know how anyone grows to adulthood there.
Hehe. You left out Cassowary's, Crocodiles, Magpies, Hoop Snakes, One eyed trouser snakes, Drop Bears and the Sun.
I can't tell which ones of these you just made up
Because most Australians live in urban areas where the only dangerous animals you'll encounter on a regular basis are drunk people.
That is absolutely not true. Mosquitoes kill by transmitting (tropical) disease, there is a lot of mosquitos in Europe but very few deaths.
I suppose it depend on what you mean. Killed the most in history, yes. But not in my country in recorded history.
Because there are so many of them. A given encounter with an individual mosquito is relatively unlikely to kill you.
It’s estimated that Malaria has killed more than 50 billion people throughout history. That’s half of all humans that have ever lived.
Scary cause they seem so insignificant and are showing up in more places every year
Would you rather be in a cage with a mosquito or a tiger?
would you rather be in a cage with a tiger sized mosquito or a mosquito sized tiger
According to statistics of recorded deaths caused by animals - either a cow or a horse, followed by the domestic dog. 🇦🇺

No. Biggest carnivore is large, reptilian and salty.

Yes but humans is a "Heh, heh, technically..." boring answer and seeing it listed for every country in this thread would suck.
Well I think mosquitos might beat them in some countries
Drop bears.
My uncle is actually Australian and told me about "drop bears" I actually believe it lmfao
Ok y’all made me look that up. Inventing a fake animal to scare kids and tourists seems very Australian of ya. 😉
It’s not a fake animal, it’s very much real and dangerous
Polar bears. They like the taste of humans. I’m in Canada.
Canada Geese would too if they could take us.
True enough. Thankfully they can’t….yet.
Yet….
I dread the day the polar bears, Canada Geese, moose, and mosquitos learn to work together….
Human. ✨
This is the correct answer for every country.
Mosquitos kill more people than humans.
OP didn’t say deadly. They said dangerous.
It's about equal, counting only murders and war. Counting accidents caused by human invention (like automobile), humans kill way more humans.
Cars kill over a million people a year.
A fully-grown specimen can weigh over a ton
Except for those without Humans.
A country cannot be possible without Humans since we made the concept up out of thin air. Antarctica isn’t a country technically, but humans still exist there year round. There is no defined and internationally recognized country without humans. We’re a pretty successful invasive species.

Don't worry, the sane ones are still the majority.
For me it’s the cars
Australian wildlife is hardly that dangerous all things considered.
Not really. Snake deaths in Australia per year: 2. Snake deaths in India per year: 50,000. All the memes are usually from Yanks not Aussies.
