previously I wrote an article 'top 6 most intelligent animals.', Well one problem with an animal not being intelligent or being too intelligent is their potential to do harm to we humans, and also other animals. They also have potential to destroy things we've built and worked so hard for. So with out further ado let's check out the top 6 most dangerous animals in the modern day world.
This list is not based on hierarchy, but just The list of animals considered as the most dangerous and wildest
HIPPOPOTAMUS
This massive, giant looking animals are considered by many as Africa's most dangerous mammal. This gigantic animals are Very territorial, very un-predictable and could snap at you for literally no reason. Hippos have proven to be at a stronger level far above crocodiles as they can easily kill This African stealth submarines. Hippos are very protective When it comes to Their offspring so you don't want to go near them. ( crocodiles would stay completely still and let the younger hippos step on because of the fear of being attacked by their older ones if they try to retaliate. Hippos have been said to kill an average of 500 humans per year.
CROCODILES
Crocs are considered to be the largest animal with the highest number of human deaths in Africa, this huge reptiles have all it means to be a predator, metal sharp teeth, incredible water and land speed , amazing agility and very little known weak points. This beasts are capable of totally removing human limbs with just one swipe of their, their gastric acids are capable of breaking acids. No matter where you find them they remain extremely powerful and capable of extreme speeds and damage, so don’t try to outrun this one. They have been known to take the life of over 1000 humans per year.
LIONS
king of the African jungle, brave, majestic and never backs down. This are all the attributes of one of Africa’s greatest pride. And on the list of kills, they are also right on top, they have been said to kill over 563 people in 1990 just in Tanzania alone. Although these beast most times don’t attack human’s for the fun of it, they are very protective of their habitat and tend to attack anything that comes close . They are also sensitive to things that look powerful enough to take over their pride. Lions are just as brutal as any known cat family, they have a very incredible weight and take no time to trow themselves on their enemies, their paws are very powerful and are backed up by extremely sharp claws that could behead a man with just a swipe of their paw, their teeth is powerful enough to cause massive damage to any flesh, tearing it in an instant.
SHARKS
Big, fast and brutal. These are all three words that describe the pillar of power in the open seas, sharks are like pirates, they just don’t care, they are ready to sink their teeth into any thing that stands in their way. Although as scary as Hollywood as painted them to be there are rarely any cases of them attacking human beings. There were just 6 deaths in 2015 alone, but still don’t underestimate this beasts.
ELEPHANTS
Elephants, the biggest known land animal. are easily the literal translation of power in the animal kingdom, with hardly any animal willing to take on these gigantic monstrosity. They are known to take down take down massive trees that are in their way, or just for the fun of it. They are also blessed with high IQ meaning they know exactly what they are doing, and if you see them charging at you, RUN! Or stay perfectly still, and be mindful not to get crushed. They also have massive muscular trunks that can easily pull down trees, and could life a man high into the air when hit with it. And don’t dare underestimate their tusks does horns could easily go through a man’s body. 500 are killed yearly by elephant’s .
SNAKES
I guess we all saw this one coming, snakes, pythons are just as dangerous as any other animals on this list, this fast, poisonous and muscular terror have claimed the lives of over 100,000 people. Ranking it at the top.
I believe one honorable mention would be humans ; our kind claim the lives of over 437,000 humans per year and that’s wild

Dangerous animals indeed. I've heard so much about these animals from stories and movies but I haven't seen them all except the snake. You know movies have helped us a lot to portray how they do their Magicals when it comes to taking one's life
