They are also a lot stronger than humans, so it's nearly impossible for a human to escape from an attack by a bear. The best thing to do if you see a bear is to back away slowly, stay calm, don't panic, maintain eye contact with the bear, and don't turn your back on it. If that doesn't work, yell loudly or throw rocks at the bear while backing up. Don't run because that might provoke the bear to chase after you.

Alligators are one of the most dangerous pets in the world. Aside from their sharp teeth, they have powerful jaws that can easily break human bones. They also have extremely tough skin that makes them impervious to many types of weapons. Furthermore, they're extremely fast swimmers so catching them may prove difficult if they happen to escape. All these factors make alligators a very serious consideration when it comes to choosing an animal for your home or business.

Crocodiles are one of the most dangerous animals in the world, with an average of 23 fatalities per year. They can be found in the Nile River Valley and throughout Southeast Asia, where they have become an endangered species due to habitat loss and hunting. Crocodiles are attracted to humans because they smell like fish, which is their main food source. They will bite anything near them as a defense mechanism, so it is extremely important that people do not swim or enter water near where crocs reside.
6) Komodo dragons
Komodo dragons are one of the most dangerous animals on the planet. They grow up to 12 ft long, weigh as much as 300 lbs, and can go for months without food. They have a killer bite, with teeth that can tear through flesh like butter. And if that wasn't enough, they also carry a potent form of bacteria in their mouths called Salmonella. It is hard to know how many people komodo dragons have killed since we've been keeping track, but it is estimated that over 80% of the local population has been killed by them since 1980. With no known cure for their deadly Salmonella infection, don't come close!
7) Wolves
Wolves are not an animal that is often found in the average household. However, wolf hybrids are becoming more popular as a guard dog because of their intelligence, loyalty, and watchfulness. Unfortunately, these traits can also make them very dangerous if they are not raised properly. When wolves or wolf-hybrids do attack humans or other animals it is usually for food or to protect their territory.

Chimpanzees are one of the most intelligent and powerful animals in the world. They have been know to be aggressive, but with proper training they can make wonderful companions. Chimps are strong enough to break a human's arm, so it is important that any time someone is near them, they have a firm hold on them. Chimps will also go for food if given the opportunity, so it is important to keep all food items away from their reach.
9) Pythons
1. Pythons are large, constrictor snakes. They have a long slender body that can reach up to 10 feet in length and weigh up to 150 pounds. Their color varies depending on their environment but they are typically patterned with dark brown blotches or bands. Pythons are non-venomous but they do carry venomous teeth in the back of their mouths which they use for killing prey. 2. Pythons can squeeze tightly enough to suffocate its victims so it is very important not to underestimate the power of these big snakes. 3. These reptiles are native to Africa and southern Asia and range from southeastern North America all the way up through Central America, South America, New Guinea, and Australia. They prefer living near water sources such as marshes, ponds, streams and rivers. 4.
10) Cobras
Cobras are not a pet. A cobra is one of the most deadly snakes in the world. They are extremely aggressive and can strike with lightning speed. They are equipped with venom that will kill any living thing in its path, including humans.
If this isn't enough to deter you, then maybe this will: There is only one anti-venom available for a cobra bite. That anti-venom is only effective if it's given within four hours of being bitten by the snake! The faster you react after being bit, the more likely it is that you'll survive.
So if there was ever a situation where someone got bit and started showing symptoms (fever, vomiting), call 911 immediately as they need to get to the hospital ASAP before their condition worsens.
11) Jellyfish
Jellyfish are typically found in warm, shallow waters. They have no brain or central nervous system, which means they can't feel pain the way humans do. This means they sting just to defend themselves when they're threatened. If you want to swim with jellyfish, go for it - just don't touch them. Stick close to shore where there's a higher concentration of plankton that feeds the jellyfish. When you get out of the water, avoid dark colors as these attract jellyfish (so don't wear black pants).
12) Scorpions
Sightings of scorpions in the United States have increased by more than 400% since 1990, according to the University of Arizona. These stinging insects prefer to live in warm, dry climates with lots of cracks or crevices for them to hide. They can be found in closets, under refrigerators, behind bookshelves, and even inside shoes. If they sting a person, it may take weeks before they feel better. Scorpions are not known to attack people unless threatened or if they're provoked. The good news is that there is an easy way to prevent these pests from entering your house: place sticky traps on ground level and all along doors leading outside.
13) Centipedes
These can be found worldwide but are most common in warmer climates. Centipedes have a long, segmented body with two pairs of legs per segment, meaning they often have a total of 200 legs. They are usually brown or black in color and range from 2 to 6 inches long. Centipedes will bite if provoked (usually when stepped on). In general, their bites will not cause serious health problems for humans unless the person has an allergic reaction to the venom.
14) Black widow spiders
The black widow spider is found in many areas of the United States, as well as parts of Canada, South America, Australia, Europe and Africa. The female black widow has a shiny dark brown or black body with a red hourglass shape on its underside. The male's abdomen also contains an hourglass marking but it is much lighter in color and difficult to see. however, they are considered to be one of the most venomous spiders in North America. Black widows can range from 1/2 inch long to 1 1/2 inches long.
15) Brown recluse spiders
Brown recluse spiders are non-aggressive and do not often bite humans. However, if they do, the bite can be very serious. Brown recluse bites sometimes cause necrosis of the skin (a deadening of tissue) which can lead to muscle death. In some cases, brown recluse bites have caused a condition called hemolysis (the breaking down of red blood cells). Bites can also cause fever, chills, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting. Fortunately, only 25% of people who get bitten by a brown recluse spider will experience these symptoms. The venom is actually injected through the pores in the spider’s fangs when it bites which makes it much less toxic than other types of venom found in other types of spiders.
16) Ticks
Ticks are small insect larvae that can be as small as a poppyseed, but they can grow to be up to two inches. Ticks feed on the blood of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians by latching onto their skin with their front limbs. Most ticks carry disease-causing organisms in their bodies. Lyme disease is just one of those diseases; it is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is passed on through the bite of an infected tick.
17) Bees
Bees are a great animal to have around. They are helpful in pollinating plants and flowers, which helps the environment. However, they are one of the most dangerous animals on this list. You can get stung by a bee when it is defending its hive or even when it feels threatened by humans. They also don't like to sting just once, so multiple stings can happen if the person isn't careful. You may be surprised to see that snakes come in at number twenty on this list. While some people love snakes, others would rather not have them as pets because they could harm the family. If you do choose to keep a snake as a pet, make sure that it's well fed and has enough room for growth!
18) Wasps
A wasp sting can be a painful experience. Some people are allergic to the venom in the sting, or they may have an allergic reaction to it. The stinger of a wasp is barbed and remains in the victim's skin, which increases the chance of infection. If a person has been stung on the eye, there is an increased risk of contracting blindness or another serious eye injury. When disturbed, wasps release pheromones that call other wasps to come to their aid; this could lead to them becoming even more aggressive than before.
19) Hornets
Hornets are considered to be one of the most dangerous animals to humans due to their ability to deliver an agonizing sting that can last up to 30 minutes. The venom can also cause anaphylactic shock, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction.
The sting of a hornet is said to be more painful than that of a bee, as it injects its venom straight into the skin instead of from the outside in.
20) Gila monsters
Gila monsters are found in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America. These burrowing lizards get their name from the Gila River in Arizona. They measure up to three feet long, with a thick body that can weigh up to 14 pounds. Gila monsters do not have teeth, but they have very sharp claws on their front legs which they use to catch prey. They eat small mammals such as mice, rabbits and chipmunks. Gila monsters live for 20 years or more.
