Poison Dart Frog The backs of the poison dart frog ooze a slimy neurotoxin that is  meant to keep predators away. Each frog produces enough of the toxin to  kill 10 humans, though, strangely, in captivity, the frogs do not  secrete this poison.  The frogs are brilliantly coloured and live mainly  in Central and South America.  [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_dart_frog" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 9. Cape Buffalo  Cape buffalos weigh 1.5 tons and, when faced by danger, attack head  on with razor sharp horns.  They stand up to 1.7 metres high and 2.8  metres long.  Humans are virtually its only predator and even lions will  avoid crossing their path.  Every year the Cape Buffalo is known to  maul and kill multiple humans; some believe that it kills more humans in  Africa every year than any other creature. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_buffalo" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 8. Polar Bear These massive creatures, native to the Arctic, regularly eat elephant  seals and could cut off a human head with one swipe of its paw.  The  Polar Bear is the most carnivorous of all the Bears and will eat  walruses, whales, rheindeer, and even other polar beers. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_Bear" target="_blank">Wikipeida Article</a>] 7. Elephant African Elephants, with their sharp tusks, are not as friendly as  many believe.  They kill over 500 people per year (either by stomping or  impaling).  The African Elephant generally weighs in at 16 tons. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 6. Saltwater Crocodile This is the largest of all living reptiles and is found mainly in  Northern Australia and Southeast Asia.  A healthy adult is typically 4.8  – 7 metres (15.75ft – 21ft) long, weighing up to 1.6 tons.  There have  been reports of larger.  This creature is capable of killing and eating  animals up tot he size of a water buffalo.  In its most deadly attack  (called the Death Roll) the crocodile grabs an animal or human with its  mouth and begins to roll.  A 1ton stallion is known to have been killed  by this method in under 1 minute.  In the water, the crocodile can move  as fast as a dolphin. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltwater_Crocodile" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 5. African Lion The African Lion can reach up to half a ton.  Lions are thought to  kill up to 70 humans per year in Tanzania.  These large animals are  eclipsed in size only slightly by the tiger. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Lion" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 4. Great White Shark This shark is an exceptionally large shark found in coastal waters in  all major oceans.  It can reach lengths of up to 6 metres and can weigh  up to 5 tons.  The Great White Shark is the worlds largest known  predatory fish.  It is the only surviving species of its genus.  In  general these creatures do not attack humans, and (while there have been  some fatalities) the majority of attacks on humans are believed to be  test bites – the Great White Shark are known to test bite other objects  in order to determine what they are.  More people are killed each year  in the US by dogs than Great White Sharks in the last 100 years. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_white_shark" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 3. Box Jellyfish Also known as the wasp jellyfish, this salad-bowl sized jellyfish can  have up to 60 tentacles as long as 15 feet.  Each tentacle has enough  toxin to kill 50 humans.  They are found in Australia, the Philippines,  and many other tropical areas.  Since 1884 at least 5,567 deaths have  been attributed to these creatures. [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_jellyfish" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 2. Asian Cobra While the Asian cobra does not have the deadliest venom, it does make  the most of what it has, causing the largest chunk of the 50 thousand  deaths by snakebite per year. An average cobra is about 1 metre in  length.  [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Cobra" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>] 1. The Mosquito Due to malaria carrying parasites transferred by the mosquito, it is  responsible for the deaths of more than two million people per year.  In  addition, Mosquitos are estimated to transfer diseases to more than 70  million people per year.  Even in countries such as the UK, New Zealand,  and Japan, where the more temperate climate has reduced mosquito bites  to mostly an annoyance, they still cause some deaths every year.  [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito" target="_blank">Wikipedia Article</a>]  Technorati Tags: <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/animals" target="_blank">animals</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/deadly" target="_blank">deadly</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/poisonous" target="_blank">poisonous</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Top%2010%20list" target="_blank">Top 10 list</a></blockquote>
