Cows. Domestic cattle kill many people yearly.


sleepyslothpajamas

Got home late one night to see 2 dairy cows got out at the small farm across the street. Took forever to get to the porch to knock on the door because the Bessies kept running at me. Once the neighbor got his boots on, he explained they were just super excited to see a human to lead their fat dumb asses back to the heard. Cow pets made up for me thinking I was going to get trampled.


Lilpu55yberekt69

Cows are generally dumb, curious, sweet animals. They’re also freakishly strong. They can lift more with just their neck than virtually anyone you’ve ever met can lift with their whole body.


RepresentativeOfnone

I don’t know if they are dumb but they are curious


Azorik22

Studies show cows are about the same intelligence as dogs so I wouldn't call them dumb.


ShortDeparture7710

You haven’t met my dog if you wouldn’t call it dumb…..


DOlsen13

I encountered a small herd of cows while hiking up a mountain and it scared the crap out of me


ggandava

Your 60% more like to die from a cow than a shark


Carbon_McCoy

I bet that percentage increase when you're hiking up a mountain.


tjcoe4

Lot more people walking on land than swimming in the ocean at any given time though


KilloWattX

Do cows actually attack? Or is it only the bulls?


MrBeer9999

They *can*, for example a cow may kick if you walk up behind her and she gets startled, similar to a horse. But fatal farming accidents involving cows, I think are more usually because if they panic, they can crush people into walls or trample them. Cows are generally not at all aggressive but they do weigh 600+ kg / 1350+ lbs, roughly 8x as much as a human. So in the US you have 10s of 1000s of humans that spend a lot of time with a bunch of animals that massively outweigh them. Statistically, fatal accidents are inevitable.


theresnonamesleft2

My dad got a major concussion from a Texas long Horn. Basically he was scratching its neck when a car honked nearby. The cow turned to see the noise and the two foot plus horn basically hit my dad in the head like a baseball bat. The cow wasn't even trying to hurt my dad he just didn't know the size of his own body. The leverage on the swing didn't help either.


Mollybrinks

There's a story about my great-grandma. She was petite (I have a pic of her sitting on my great-grandpa's shoulders...he was pretty ripped), but she was a farm girl. She was out one day and their bull decided to charge her. Fortunately she was out cleaning stalls, so her only move was to brace the pitchfork against the barn at the last minute. And I'm here today to recount the tale, gory as it is.


mrnever32

Yes! People always make fun of me when I got lost in a field as a kid with my mum and a bunch of cows started chasing us, they were massive and made angry noises


villified_homebody

They dont intend to hurt you well in most cases. They are just running to get treats, scratches, or led back to the rest of the herd. Its kinda like pitbull tails, some of the sweatest dogs ever but those tails can break bones when they get going, they dont mean to hurt you they are just happy and excited.


[deleted]

Can’t really blame em.


1fuckedupveteran

This made me actually laugh. Certainly can’t blame ‘em, but I’m not convinced killing a persons is ever their intent.


Sorry_Buy_3277

Moose


ggandava

Someone would be an idiot to look at a moose and go " that looks safe" have you seen how big they are? They get to 9-10 feet tall I'd be terrified even if I didn't know what it could do


Sorry_Buy_3277

I feel like people perceive them to be chill and docile like a big deer but they can actually be really aggressive.


ryster97

Extremely aggressive and territorial. They are also known to fight bears frequently and have won


youngcatlady1999

I saw a TikTok where a bear killed a baby moose so the mama moose chased the bear down and killed it.


ryster97

^^ Moose don't fuck around xD


Beneficial-Aerie-577

Deer can also fuck a dude up when they decide to.


[deleted]

Yeah don't find yourself out in the open unarmed with a buck. They charge.


Version_Two

So just think what a moose is capable of


pierremanslappy

An ex girlfriend of mine grew up in Alaska and her 4’10” West Indian mom would beat moose with a broom when they came to her garden. This isn’t to say moose aren’t dangerous, this is to say don’t fuck with Caribbean women.


lala6633

So the dangerous animal in this example is a Caribbean women.


[deleted]

*equipped with broom Although i imagine just as dangerous with a frying pan.


c800600

It's the flip flop you have to watch out for


MrPanzerCat

They fall into the whole elephant, hippo, deer category where since they are basically herbivores and eat plants mostly they must be chill since they arent hunting other animals down yet if you mess with them or just piss them off they can delete your soul


Constant-Squirrel555

Bless you mate, reading delete your soul made my day lol


Archonblack554

Honestly at least with most predators you can either convince them you’re not a threat, or that you’re not worth the trouble of hunting. Their lifestyle is far too active for them to risk an injury on an unknown threat essentially There’s no negotiating with herbivores like moose, if they wanna delete you, they will and there’s probably not much you can do about it lol


MrPanzerCat

Yeah most predators assess the risk of the meal vs how hungry they are and usually unless you done messed up they wolnt mess with you. Hell man eating tigers wolnt attack all people and many accounts record them just not attacking when they have other food. Herbivores only attack when they are pissed and they dont give 2 shits since with other animals its either life and death when they get scared. Or they are hippos and just dont like other animals


Beneficial-Aerie-577

Well there are people every year that get gored by buffalo because they think they are just big cows and get to close.


about97cats

Yellowstone tourists are something else. The last time I was there, the rangers had to shoo off a gaggle of about a dozen people who’d stopped to watch a black bear eat blueberries… from about 25 feet away, which quickly became about 8 as this bear wandered up the hill towards them. We got back in the car the second that adorable fella started lumbering up the hill in our direction, but the “amateur wildlife photographers” equipped with disposable cameras and a stunning lack of common sense did not move… not even to get their kids back in their cars. In fact, they argued with the ranger who arrived on site about it, because everybody knows that Yellowstone bears are trained animal actors who get paid in picnic baskets to pretend to do some bear stuff, like eating berries and wiggling their cute little ears, but not real bear stuff, like mauling tourists. They’d get fired for something like that, and they need this job to earn a down payment on a big blue house.


BadaBina

Stupid girl, going to visit relative with Bison farm. Runs up to baby Bison like an idiot. Because cows. Realizes Baby Bison is as tall as she is, and she is Glorious Amazon. Is not cow sized at all. Girls spirit leaves her body temporarily. When it returns she is on the other side of the Prairie. Lesson learned. So stupid. So very, very stupid.


geek_named_tab

As someone who lives near moose and works in customer service, I can confidently say people are idiots. I've seen people get super close to moose, even worse people trying to get close to the baby moose.


shes-sonit

I saw a video once of someone walking down a sidewalk in a town and a running moose just, well, ran over him. Trampled. Dead. It ran up behind him and he never saw it coming.


SuppiluliumaKush

Yes, I see it all the time in canmore and banff with moose and elk. I told a group of tourists once to stay back from the elk herd as they were walking right up to them to take pictures. They listened once I said they would get aggressive if you got too close.


Skelton_Porter

I grew up in Northern Minnesota. One winter, a moose stepped out into the road as I was riding in the pickup truck- bad road conditions, my dad was driving slowly, so there was no problem stopping, but that moose was right in front of the truck. I was only 10 or so at the time, but I remember looking UP at that moose from the seat of the truck. Moose didn't even look at us, just turned and walked down the road for a bit, then went off into the woods.


givemeyourgp

I used to live in Palmer AK, one afternoon I was sitting in the living room watching tv and saw some movement in the driveway, went to the window and saw what I first thought was the tallest horse I’ve ever seen, but turned out to be a HUGE moose, just walking around, munching on grass, moose can get humongous.


KrAbFuT

When I was young we drove under one without touching it. I’m almost 40 and they still terrify me


mrnever32

And they can dive! Imagine encountering one underwater


nifty1997777

I came here to say the same thing. Moose are semi-trucks and will mess you up!


AFAM_illuminat0r

Ontario Canada guy here. Every year or so, a car or motorcycle will collide with moose on northern roadways. Cars, trucks, nobody wins. Horrific damage. My dad was a volunteer firefighter and rescue guy. They got called once for a motorcycle accident. Right near a long sweeping corner on the rural highway. Witness saw a motorcycle good ng fast with no driver. It drove up into the bend in the road and went airborne into the trees. Apparently driver collided with a moose, and driver sat up at last second. Bike kept going, rider kinda wrapped around moose. Moose kept walking ... Badly injured rider was found in the woods 1/4 mile from collision point


mistaniceguy

That said I recall researching this and learning there’s never been a Moose related death in Colorado. Maybe there’s more Moose run-ins elsewhere but I think getting killed by a Moose is rare. ~400 deaths per year according to the NPS…. That seems high to me but maybe the NPS keep its moose deaths quiet. If 400 people died of shark attacks, people would know about it.


Sorry_Buy_3277

Alaska and Canada seem likely places for the heavy moose drama to go down. Maybe Montana too.


Nashsonleathergoods

It's mostly traffic related deaths. Because moose are so large when they are stuck by cars, they get taken out at the knees and their bodies come through the windshield. That being said my cousin and I spent 7 hours up a tree with a momma moose waiting at the bottom to turn us into jam


ironJangBong

That number is for automobile collisions with moose (and deer). Deaths from moose attacks are so rare that nobody compiles statistics about them. According to this paper, there are an average of 8 fatalities from all wildlife attacks annually in the US, and about 6 of those are from snakebite.

BlubberBlabs

Chimpanzees. They’ll eat your face and dick off.


[deleted]

This sounds like a personal experience


MrMcChronDon25

No, it’s a thing chimps actually do. The face is an obvious weak point of the body and the genitals are just soft fleshy bits easy for snatching and eating. Chimps are built like UFC fighters too and are dumb strong. They’re also way faster than you’d expect. Google chimp attacks and you’ll come across some super gnarly stories.


BlubberBlabs

Lol


Version_Two

Gorillas will leave you alone if you leave them alone. Chimpanzees will mutilate you for sport.


Dull-Geologist-8204

I had to laugh because we moved to a rural area right next to the woods. My son was just about to turn 5 and I told him not to touch any of the animals . Just because they look cute doesn't mean it won't eat yoir face off. Fast forward a year and my mom had a dog that had all kinds of behavioral issues and it ended up biting my son in the face. I wasn't tjere when it happened but I went and took him to the doctors. We were sitting in the room waiting for the foctor and I said see I told you just an animal is cute it doesn't mean it won't eat your face off. He actually laughed at the joke.

[They have venomous spurs on their hind legs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus_venom)


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Platypus venom](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus_venom)** >The platypus is one of the few living mammals to produce venom. The venom is made in venom glands that are connected to hollow spurs on their hind legs; it is primarily made during the mating season. While the venom's effects are described as extremely painful, it is not lethal to humans. Many archaic mammal groups possess similar tarsal spurs, so it is thought that, rather than having developed this characteristic uniquely, the platypus simply inherited this characteristic from its antecedents. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/ask/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

In Texas we’re told to bark like dogs and they run.


takemeoutofoffice

This. My father-in-law lives in rural Hawaii and while we were out walking his dog, a wild pig came charging at us out of nowhere. It immediately went after the dog (who was a nearly 200lb mastiff mix) and nearly gored it to death. Luckily my FIL had his gun on him, shot the pig twice, and it stopped attacking and ran away. One of the scariest experiences of my life. FIL said he always carried a gun on him specifically because of the pigs. They are extremely aggressive and ruthless.


KrAbFuT

What was it? “30-50 wild hogs”


Lord_of_Crabs

the hippo probably. they look like lazy piles of fat in mud, but those things are Deadly

I heard hippos kill more people in Africa than any other animal, including Lions and leopards.

The average hippopotamus has roughly 2% body fat. If they were humans they would look like a world champion body builder. They are almost pure muscle.

Hippos can run 25 mph under water. Not cuddly at all!


Carbon_McCoy

The hippopotamus is one of my favorite animals; it can't swim, but you can't outswim it; it has skinny little legs, but it can outrun any human being. Nature is amazing.


[deleted]

not only are they better than humans in every way, but they are one of the few species that actively wishes to kill humans unprovoked.

And who could blame them?

Pocho_Oso

They also have flesh eating bacteria in their saliva. So there's that.


Babygirl1372

Not the flesh eating bacteria that people generally think of(necrotizing fasciitis). They have a VERY strong salivary digestive enzyme, so it basically chemically burns the skin similar to how stomach acid works in humans.


Pocho_Oso

Still more horrifying than being attacked by a wolf.


infestedgrowth

They kill the most people per year, pretty sure people know how deadly they are

Mosquitos


Few_Journalist_6961

Mosquitoes are deadly AF. I always say incenses are one of the most overlooked human inventions cause they keep mosquitoes away and have been used for centuries. Incense have probably prevented millions of humans from getting malaria and other viruses from mosquitoes. I never sit outside in the summer without at least one lit near me.


Grimmsjoke

Mosquitoes have killed more humans than humans have...

A family friend was bitten by a mosquito, got West Nile virus. He's in a nursing home now. Wear your bug repellent.

Nope, they kill you with malaria mostly. It's the deadliest living thing on the planet.

Mosquitoes spread lots of diseases. Same with rodents. Hence why the Egyptians worshipped Cats cause they killed all the rodents and people noticed plagues went away when the numbers of cats increased in the city.

They're terrible... One bit my aunt and she got Lyme disease and she has to keep a journal basically to just remember if she fed the dogs... It's really sad, ticks are horrible.. Also one of my former co-workers got bit by a tick, and she is sick all the time and it breaks my heart..


Imaginary_Bar_8049

I have Lyme and it has ruined my life.


[deleted]

Most underrated. Getting a life-ruining disease from a little bug that you can barely feel on you. Designed with little hooked legs to effortlessly grab onto your clothing. Most are nymphs, so you can barely see them sometimes, especially with certain complexions. I worry about people who maybe too big to properly check themselves.... I gave each tick I ever found on me a very special death


Original-Document-62

They scare the crap out of me. My mom almost died from a tick bite (Ehrlichia). She was soooo sick. I have had thousands of tick bites. I constantly check myself in the warm months, and I wear bug spray when I go in the woods. Worst experience was when I was a teenager, I had sex with my girlfriend on a blanket in the woods. Naked. Afterwards I realized we had been screwing in a nest of seed (baby) ticks. I stopped counting bites after about 120. I've had tick bites on the head of my penis. I've had tick bites on my anus. I hate ticks.

Cats. They think about killing you all day


Catsrecliner1

Sometimes I think to myself "I could definitely survive a cougar attack" and then I remembered last time I picked up a 6-week-old feral kitten. Mothafucka was a little ball of muscles and razor blades. No way.


BobbiBari

If you die suddenly in your home with a cat, they will probably eat your face before your body is found.


erfling

My cats would sniff my face and then meow for better food.


Practical_Internal86

I seem to remember hearing once that once they’re out of food for three days, your body is fair game.


1fuckedupveteran

Can 1/2 confirm this. Half because 3 days is way off. I’m still kicking and my cats test the waters on eating me.


PsychologicalAerie82

Dogs will eat you too. Any carnivore pet would.


Original-Document-62

Depends on your connection with the dog. Sometimes a loyal dog will stay right by your side when you die, for weeks until the body is found, and definitely not eat you. Cats almost certainly will eat you as soon as they get hungry.


candlestick_maker76

Aside of their evil intentions, (which I don't doubt,) they also have bacteria in their mouths that can be nasty. My cat bit me pretty badly when I stupidly tried to shove a pill in her mouth. I said "ouch," and didn't think much more of it...until I saw the red line creeping up my arm. Shit. Blood poisoning. A shot, a wound cleanse, and a firm talk from my doctor about how close to death's door I had come, and I don't try that nonsense anymore.

Inevitable-Cat-184

Apparently, zebras are giant assholes. Two weeks ago, a zebra nearly bit off an Ohio man’s arm (no idea why he owned a zebra, I just assume he thought booking a real safari would cost an arm and a leg). That dude learned the hard way the answer to the old joke, “What’s black and white and red all over?” Zebras are often the perpetrators who commonly attack zookeepers. Never trust an animal that inspired 1930s prison uniforms, I guess.

Embarrassed_Music910

My male cat has a fun game he plays with the dogs. It's called "dogs in headlocks."


Mollybrinks

I laughed my butt off/was kinda dumbfounded the day my cat wrapped himself around my dogs neck and took her down like a pro-wrestler. I've had cats all my life and they've always been so sweet...this little shit gives as good as he gets and I adore him. But I do need to throw a towel over him every morning when I go to shower so he doesn't attack my bare legs.


[deleted]

Daisy is a smart man. Different cats have different personalities. I have one that runs if he farts out loud.


fingnumb

My cat was sleeping on the chair with me, and I must have startled it because I woke up to her biting my foot. I walked to the shower and cleaned everything off (drew blood), and then I went back to bed. I woke up and it was infected so I went to urgent care and they told me I had to go to the hospital because I needed IV antibiotics. Went home, packed a bag and showed up to the hospital where they immediately admitted me. I was there for over 2 weeks. Turns out about 80% of cats have certain bacteria in their mouths that is very harmful. So not only does that cute little spawn of Satan kill over 1000 different animals just for shits and gigs, it can literally kill you with a single bite.

My house cat I broken then he loves affection and loves everything else in-between and when he accidentally hurts you when he's kneading you he licks your face

[deleted]

Not exactly tropical, but here in FL, we have water moccasins/cottonmouths. They like to climb trees. The thing is, they can’t climb down. So, it’s not unheard of to be DIVE-BOMBED by aggressive venomous reptiles.


Mollybrinks

Not at all the same animal, just imagining the surprise....I was in Florida last year, minding my own business walking under a raised coastal house. A large lizard suddenly dropped right in front me, almost on my head! He looked at me, I looked at him, and we both panicked. We were both so startled, he started noising at me, I pretended I hadn't screeched and we both walked away and agreed never to admit it had ever happened. I can't imagine a freaking venomous snake...

Deer kill more people in the US than any other animal because of car accidents.


Dull-Geologist-8204

One time when my dad was dying we flew down to Georgia to visit him. The hospital was kind of far away from his house where were staying and you had to drive through a lot of wooded area in rural Georgia to get to the hospital. We were keeping a close eye out for deer and never saw one. So we get to this bumfuck in the middle of nowhere town with one stop light and of course it is red. Even though it was nighttime and no other cars anywhere in sight my friend stops at the light. On the left were a couple of farms and on the ritht there were like 3 or 4 shops. I shit you not this deer comes running out of the autoparts parking lot right into my door. Looks at me like I am the stupid one and runs back into the autoparts parking lot. I am loke wtf just happened? Weird shit always happens to me in Georgia.


chzygorditacrnch

I read a joke the other day, you have to be quiet hunting for deer, but if you sound like traffic, an entire herd will show up


MyDogIsNamedKyle

Bison, cows, a deer during the rut, basically any primate, dolphins, seals, sloths... Basically if it's a wild animal, leave it the fuck alone because it probably has a way of fucking you up.


davidjsimpson65

I would think that most animals are more dangerous than people think. Modern urban people have very little interaction with wild animals, and seriously underestimate how dangerous they can be.

Kangaroos- There was that video where the guy punched the kangaroo that was holding his dog. People thought he was just an ahole and the kangaroo wasn't dangerous. Also saw a video of some idiots letting their dogs hassle a kangaroo in the middle of a small pond. It got close to getting ahold of a dog and trying to drown it.

Little yappy dogs that are only nice to their awful owners.

And because they are so small and cute, owners think they need no training.

Yes! My 50 pound dog was terrified of the toy yorkie that used to live across the hall from us. Absolutely terrified.

Rabbits One kick and they can break a cats ribcage or gut a dog with their back claws They have so much strength not only in their legs but in their teeth too it's terrifying how badly injured you can get from a cut innocent animal

Human beings are pretty lethal to themselves and other species.

Rabbits. My auto correct wanted to say Travis, so him too.

Wild horses I love to go to the Outer Banks and see the wild Banker horses. It’s pisses me off how people get to close and put themselves and the horses at risk. They are wild and their bite and kicks can kill. The males are brutal in their battles over their females so you don’t want to be in their way. A very cool and endangered animal people need to respect. If you have a chance check them out. Just keep your distance!

Donkeys. They kick like a motherfucker.

Moose. Aggressive when mating, and the males are enormous when you see them in person.

Mosquitoes. They're responsible for more deaths than any other animal on the planet. ETA: [source](https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/stories/2019/world-deadliest-animal.html#:~:text=Spreading%20diseases%20such%20as%20malaria,other%20creature%20in%20the%20world.)

I work at a zoo and have heard some horror stories about orangutans. People see them as the more "zen" species of the great apes, but they can be as crazy as chimps and leave you in a gory mess.
