The World's Deadliest Animal is a freakin mosquito?!?!?

This is known.

I think mankind has to show a little ambition here and go for the #1 spot. We can do it. Remember, every person we shoot is one less for the mosquitoes to kill.

Haven't been to any tropical countries, eh?

How is bacteria not leading that list?

 

[IronWing]

I'm surprised how high snakes are on the list. There sure were a lot of stupid people in the world.

Yeah... how is bacteria not leading the list of deadliest animals? lol

 

[serpretetsky]

How is bacteria not leading that list?

Well... technically bacteria aren't animals

Bacteria is not an animal.

I'm pretty sure a lot more of those kills belong to the "assassin bug," they're just really good on making it look like the work of mosquitoes.

Seriously, what the fuck is an assassin bug?

Come to Alaska in the summertime. You don't have to be tropical to have a mosquito problem... A lot of locals jokingly call it the unofficial state bird.

I like how dogs are #4 with 25k kills. Man's best friend my ass. Although technically it's from rabies, which is the fault of a virus and not the dog. I also find it funny that despite their constant plotting, housecats are too inept to make the chart. haha

They make it look like the dog did it.

Well silly me. All this time I was afraid of lions, wolves and sharks, when I should have cowered in fear over freshwater snails which kills 12,000-200,000 per year.

Those little guys are ruthless. I saw the aftermath of a snail attack once. Frightening shit.

good god. I'm amazed people didn't know this. I mean it's always talked about EVERY fucking spring.

Sounds like an aggressive dog vaccination program might save a lot of human lives. :hmm:

Too bad we don't have vaccines against most mosquito-borne diseases.

 

[darkewaffle]

Huh, I didn't know that about snails at least.

 

[Jodell88]

Mosquitoes aren't deadly, the parasites they can carry are.

It isn't a species.
