      I don’t think that there is a definite definition of how deadly an animal is. I mean is deadly the most infective? most aggressive? most angry?

      If pushed though I would say the hippopotamus. It has giant teeth, is really angry, has really thick skin and is really fast if in the water. They are the angry teenagers of the animal world 🙂

      Well – how about the mosquito? specifically female mosquitos? these carry malaria in hot regions (mainly Africa and Asia) and cause over half a million deaths every year… that’s pretty deadly!

      Plus of course people are a pretty deadly animal – half a million murders a year and that’s not counting deaths through war, road accidents etc!
