When wild animals are most dangerous to humans. What animal is the most dangerous to humans. Location: Great White Shark
Those who love to travel and spend time actively in wild nature, especially in the forest, must know that the forest is primarily a complex set of relationships that have developed over millennia between plants, animals, soil, sunlight and night haze, air and water. And man has always been a guest in the forest. With the advent of civilization, more and more moved away from the forest. Especially now, this difference is very noticeable. Many modern inhabitants megacities, except for nightclubs, expensive handbags, strawberry margaritas and pink smoothies, they don’t know real life, some (even I have such distant acquaintances) have never been in the forest at all in their lives. And of course they do not know how to behave in the prevailing difficult situations, being, for example, in the forest, and stumbling upon dangerous animals or insects. It can be assumed that such situations are very rare, but this does not make it easier for those who got into them.
From a personal point of view, when traveling to one of the tropical countries, none of the participants in the tour expected any emergencies, the route is "hackneyed", the jungle, although impassable in places, but there are trails on all sides a few kilometers away, it seems to get lost there is not realistic, wherever you go in an hour you will go out onto the road. But nevertheless, one couple of "urban fashionistas" turned off the main path for a minute and fought off the excursion group. We searched for them for about two hours ... When I saw them after returning, I realized how much people were not ready for such a turn of events. In these two hours they managed to meet a snake, it’s good that they noticed in time, they were bitten by mosquitoes and stumbled upon a hive of wild bees or wasps, got off with just a couple of bites. But wild bees and wasps guarding their hive can attack people and animals, even if they are not allergic to their bites, a few dozen bites can cause shock and even death.
A person in the forest is a guest, but from the point of view of forest, wild animals - an uninvited and uninvited guest, often not knowing the rules of behavior at all. From this arise accidents, emergencies, injuries, fears. Also legends and
myths associated with both exaggeration and downplaying the danger that the forest is fraught with.
Any wild animals living in the forest can pose a danger to humans. The types of dangerous animals are very diverse and their behavior is different when they meet a person, but nevertheless, several general patterns can be noted:
Wild animals, especially birds and mammals, are better than a man adapted to life in the forest. They have more advanced sense organs and are almost always the first to notice a person by smell and sound. Its smell for a wild animal is a strong signal of danger.
One should not exaggerate the widespread opinion about the fearfulness of animals, especially large predators. For some of them, such as the bear and the tiger, it is very common trait behavior is curiosity, which can sometimes turn into unprovoked aggression. In most cases, they want to avoid "communication" with a person and, having sensed and heard you, they leave, but this does not mean that they are afraid of you. It is wild animals that are in the forest on their territory, so they regard the appearance of a person as a violation of the border with all the ensuing consequences. Yes, a predator can leave when he hears you, but only if he is not hungry, does not protect his territory and young. But here exclusively dangerous predator, connecting rod bear, sounds human voice may, on the contrary, attract.
In the animal kingdom, unlike human society, the concepts of "alien", "unknown", "dangerous" often coincide, so count on a friendly attitude from forest dwellers not worth it.
Wild animals, to a greater extent than people, try to avoid danger: mobile animals go as far as possible from a person, inactive ones use various ways passive or active protection and disguises. forest animals
good masters camouflage, they know how to use all sorts of shelters.
The behavior of many wild animals (especially large ungulates and carnivores) changes significantly during certain periods of their life cycle(reproduction, migration, etc.). Animals become much more aggressive, and the danger to
person increases dramatically. For example, a shy elk during the breeding season becomes not so shy, but aggressive, and it is better not to stand in the way of such a one.
Any, even widespread species of wild animals prefer certain habitats, and here the probability of an accidental meeting with dangerous animals of this species is higher. In order not to become a victim of a deadly animal, and even an ordinary fox that has bitten you (foxes can be carriers of rabies), you need to remember two rules. It is necessary to have an idea about the habits of animals and birds, as well as to be attentive and careful when moving through the forest.
Forest emergencies associated with dangerous animals can be divided into two groups: active attack - when a dangerous animal, for no apparent reason for a person, begins to actively attack and accidents that occur as a result of careless or illiterate handling of an animal, which in a normal situation treats the person quite neutrally.
Dangerous animals of Russia and neighboring countries
In the main zone of settlement in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, situations of the first type (active attack of an animal) are most often associated with large predatory and ungulate animals, bear, wolf, elk, wild boar, deer, and cats. Attacks that are not provoked by a person are quite rare. According to statistics, for example, a tiger rushes at people for no reason in about 4% of all cases. Usually, the animal attacks: in self-defense, while hunting, being caught near prey, when a person carelessly invades its territory, during the mating season (the so-called rut; animals during this period are especially aggressive), protecting offspring, while persistently pursuing a wounded animal or just by chance meeting a person, by sudden close contact.
According to many experts, the most unpredictable large forest predator in terms of behavior is Brown bear. Most of the sudden encounters with this animal end in its swift flight. However, cases
unprovoked attacks on a person in the European part of Russia are noted almost annually. Unexpectedly, "go out to the bear", as a rule, pickers of mushrooms, berries and tourists. Sometimes a bear shows aggression and may even chase a person, but then quickly stops the pursuit and runs away.
However, much more serious incidents are also known, when the beast besieged a hunting lodge for literally several days, not letting people out of there. Often there are cases of aggression of a bear disturbed in a winter den. However, this is easy to avoid, knowing the favorite bearish places in given forest and bypass them.
A serious danger for an unprepared person is fraught with a meeting with a wolf, although this predator will almost always prefer to hide than attack. AT last years experts note that people encounter wolves in the forest zone more often than
before. Fans of forest walks, and especially long-distance routes, should be careful.
Perhaps the most serious danger is a sudden encounter with a wolf or a fox that is sick with rabies. Here the attack is almost guaranteed, and it is almost impossible to avoid it. A sick animal can be recognized by its angry eyes, sharply aggressive behavior, immediate, literally on the move, attack. The animal sometimes seems to spit; there is often foam in the corners of the mouth. These animals are dangerous even when they are already dying and, snarling, cannot move. In no case should you approach them, they may have time to bite, and then a long treatment will be necessary.
Animals with rabies are not found everywhere, and before going to the forest it would be useful to get information from the SES about the foci of the disease. In case of a bite, you should immediately consult a doctor, because only the correct and, most importantly, timely treatment started and carried out guarantees a complete recovery.
Regular for European forests wild ungulates, elks, wild boars, deer, roe deer are much more shy and cautious than predators, and, as a rule, leave people. However, during the mating season, these animals are characterized by increased excitability and aggressiveness and can pose a significant danger.
How to avoid meeting wild dangerous animals?
The best way to avoid dangerous animals is to avoid visiting their habitats. This does not mean that we should be afraid of the wolf and not go into the forest. Choosing a travel destination in advance, you can find out about dangerous places densely populated by predators and not go there. If you still went on a hiking trip, be extremely careful and careful, especially at night. The presence of predators or dangerous ungulates can be indicated by a variety of signs: footprints on the soil, crushed grass and undergrowth, peeled bark on trees, droppings from feeding places, and sometimes, remains of prey.
Wolves, the first to smell a person, make specific sounds (snorting, howling, sonorous barking), warning other members of the pack, and especially young animals.
Boars during the rut or feeding behave so noisily that it is quite easy to notice and hear them.
Animal paths, impassable, overgrown with bushes and littered areas of the forest, windbreaks should be avoided. In such places, there is a high probability of meeting an animal, and besides, it is extremely inconvenient to retreat here. Going to the forest
be sure to tell us where you are going to go and when you plan to return, because in addition to predators, you can just get lost in the forest.
What to do if you meet a dangerous animal in the forest?
First of all - don't panic! The beast feels when a person is afraid of him, your fear will only spur aggression, that is, the instinct of an attack on a weaker opponent may work in the animal. No sudden movements and piercing screams - at least at the first moment, until you are sure that you can really scare the animal in this way, and not attract it. However, sometimes the scream actually frightens the animal and even puts it to flight. But this is an extreme case and it is very unlikely that such a "ride" with a bear.
Man is always attracted by the unknown and mysterious. Wildlife and the animal world are interesting, but also insanely dangerous. Predators are always on the alert, they are ready to start a fight with any living creature on Earth.
Snakes and insects, seemingly harmless, are sometimes very bloodthirsty, but the inhabitants of the sea are also not always friendly.
Wildlife lives by its own laws. According to them, the one who is stronger survives. And a person does not always come out of fights as a winner. So what kind of animals are better not to meet? The following are the most dangerous animals on the planet. To check whether this is really not worth it, it is better to read and accept.
poisonous frogs
It's a cocoi frog, or at least that's what the Indians call it. It is very small - its length is only 2-3 centimeters. However, individuals are the most dangerous animals in the world. They live in the South and Central America and also in Madagascar. 
It is very difficult for South American Indians to catch this frog. And each is worth its weight in gold. It turns out that the value of these animals is that under the influence high temperatures(Indians cook them on a fire) frogs secrete the strongest poison. It instantly affects all living things and is much more dangerous than fugu fish tetrodotoxin, potassium cyanide and the venom of the Central Asian cobra. However, one consolation, toxins poison frog develops gradually and slowly.
Hippopotamus
Do not be surprised, but these cute-looking creatures pose a remarkable danger to humans. It seems that hippos are slow, but in the water they can even give odds Olympic champions for swimming. In this video, you can see a hippo chasing a motorboat.Hippo chasing a motorboat
In 2014, a hippo capsized a boat carrying schoolchildren in Nigeria, killing 12 children.
Hippos are especially dangerous when their small children are nearby. The one who disturbs the peace of the family, adults will be dragged to the bottom and trampled.
But sometimes behemoths are not alien to mercy. One naturalist witnessed a battle between a crocodile and an antelope. The mammal almost gave up when a hippopotamus ran up to them, drove the crocodile away, and sat by the antelope for another half an hour, scaring away the vultures.
African buffalo or Kaffir buffalo
This is the storm of Savannah and the mightiest of wild bulls. Indian and African buffaloes are extremely dangerous animals. Not afraid of animals or people. The male reaches a height at the withers of up to 2 meters, and its weight can exceed 900 kilograms. At the same time, he has menacingly scary horns. 
They bend up or diverge widely to the sides, while forming a gentle arc. Horns can reach 195 centimeters. The buffalo senses strangers on its territory and is able to attack first.
Extremely dangerous are the buffaloes who protect their calves. The buffalo catches its prey with its horns and throws it onto its back. The enemy has almost no chance to get out of the battle alive. Especially if a herd of angry bulls runs at him.
Polar bear
It is in the zoo that bears seem "white and fluffy." But when a bear runs at a tourist in Svalbard, the person has no chance. The animal immediately catches up, attacks and kills. The polar bear population in the Arctic began to be protected almost half a century ago. 
Since then, the number has fully recovered and, moreover, has become above the permissible limits. The beast has become a full owner wherever it lives. And on its territory, he does not feel fear and behaves quite aggressively with outsiders.
Besides, polar bear often appears near human settlements. But if you accidentally get between a bear and her child, then you definitely won’t leave alive. They are agile and fast, excellent swimmers. cold water. The beast has acute hearing, sight and smell, besides it has great strength. One blow with a powerful paw is enough to lose his head.
Bear rod
Brown bears are serious predators, no less dangerous than their brothers with North Pole. Meeting them does not bode well. The danger increases if you have a predator in front of you that could not go into hibernation or woke up at the wrong time. A hungry and angry rod bear almost always attacks, and even on his fellows. 
The only chance to get away alive after such an encounter is to shoot the bear. There is no way to run away from him. Despite the fact that the bears seem clumsy, they easily pick up speed up to 40-60 km per hour. The connecting rod perceives a fleeing person as a prey that needs to be caught up.
African and Indian elephant
The elephant is a smart animal with a good memory. The fabulous image of a kind, wise and sweet giant is far from reality. These animals are responsible for killing at least 500 people a year. The elephant is the largest on earth, and therefore, it is the most dangerous animal in the world. It is better not to get into his territory, otherwise the meeting may end badly. 
The beast has a huge body weight and can easily trample a person. By the way, elephants are very fast. AT critical situation they can run at speeds up to 40 kilometers per hour. Especially dangerous is the so-called tramp elephant, that is, expelled from the herd in mating season. He can lunge at anything that moves.
The crocodile is a first-class hunter. An animal hiding in the water can be confused with a log. After all, disguise is the main hobby of a predator. He can just lie and wait for his prey. And when she appears, she instantly jumps out, attacks, drags into the water, drowns and dismembers.
Crocodiles are considered the most dangerous animals in Australia and some African countries. In the north of Australia, for example, there are about a hundred thousand reptiles. And all of them are under state protection.
However, in recent years Australian crocodiles ate more than one victim. The largest representative of crocodiles is sea or combed. Males can reach 7 meters. The reptile is also found off the coast of Australia and is deadly to humans.
African lion
A hungry lion is very dangerous. In the wild, the kings of beasts eat mainly zebras and wildebeest for lunch and dinner. 
If the hunt was unsuccessful for some time, then starving animals can attack a person. In one sitting, an adult lion can eat up to 30 kilograms of meat. According to statistics, these animals kill about 250 people annually.
Lions are the highest feline race
White shark
The white shark is also listed as the most dangerous animal. An incredible feeling of hunger in these animals may appear due to blood in the water. Then he will definitely use all his 3 thousand sharpest teeth. 
The white shark lives in warm waters absolutely in all oceans, and also in Japan and mediterranean seas. All individuals are quite large, they grow up to 7-8 meters, but there are also absolute giants - up to 12 meters in length. It is the white shark that is considered the most ferocious, strong and dangerous of all sharks.
All about white sharks
Light color helps individuals in hunting. They go unnoticed against the backdrop of underwater rocks. Sharks eat mainly seals and whales, but they do not disdain divers who have swum far away. Often a predator mistakes a person for a seal. But when he feels a bone on his teeth, he lets go of the victim. The truth is, it doesn't help much. On account of white sharks from 30 to 100 human deaths. these creatures got a variety of items: coins, documents, the remains of people and turtles.
A monkey
Suddenly, a monkey appears on the list of the most dangerous animals. In some tropical countries, individuals have settled near city dumps and are looking for food there. 
They often attack people, children and even adults, take away food, and also drag the food supplies of the peasants and empty their refrigerators. Aggressive large apes, such as gorillas, can be deadly to humans under certain circumstances.
poisonous jellyfish
Australian jellyfish Chironex fleckeri are especially dangerous. They are known as sea wasps. Such individuals reach the size of a salad bowl, have up to 60 tentacles, each of which is four meters long. 
They generally do not attack humans first and only bite when disturbed. On the territory of Russia there are about 10 species poisonous snakes. And the most dangerous of them are Central Asian cobras, efas and gyurzes.
mosquitoes
Well, the most dangerous creature, oddly enough, is a mosquito. The reason is that he is a carrier of malaria. 
Small pests take the lives of up to three million people a year. Almost all cases occur in parts of Africa. And almost all the victims of these dangerous insects are children under the age of 5 years. The editors of the site would like to note that in Russia mosquitoes do not tolerate malaria.

Man is not as strong as he thinks he is. There are many animals in nature that can harm people, both physical and moral, and cause material damage. Animals can simply injure, cripple and even kill a person. Who in the world of wildlife should a person be especially afraid of?
bees can be very dangerous. Having stung, the bee leaves its stinger and a small pouch of poison under the skin of the victim. Wild bees attack in a swarm. It is almost impossible to escape from them, because alarmed bees pursue the victim, constantly stinging her. As a result, from a large number poison that enters the body, a person dies from exogenous intoxication. Quite common allergic reactions to bee stings (angioedema), which in severe cases can lead to death by suffocation.
victims scorpions and spiders become thousands of people a year. If scorpions can boast only one deadly poisonous fellow ( Androctomus australis), then there are a lot of spiders that are dangerous to humans. For example, one gram of poison brazilian spider soldier (Phoneutria nigriventer) is enough to kill ten grown men.
snakes- one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet. They are responsible for more than 50 thousand human deaths a year. Among the snakes, the most dangerous are the sand efa ( Echis carinatus ), King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) and the Asiatic cobra ( Naja naja ). If the last two snakes are not aggressive, then the sand efa often attacks people on its own.
You don't have to be venomous to be dangerous animals. This statement is proved by small toothy fish - piranhas. Aggressive fish with very sharp teeth and with an incredible appetite attack any creature caught in the water. One has only to recall the case when piranhas ate alive 300 people who were trying to escape from a shipwrecked ship, their danger becomes undeniable.
lions and tigers pose a threat to humans. Cases of attacks by wild cats are few, but these predators are perfectly adapted to kill animals much bigger than a man, so people should be careful with them and remember that, sensing the physical or moral weakness of a person, wild cats can attack.
The fauna of our planet is so diverse that a huge number of insects, reptiles, and mammals coexist in it, which are able to withstand an external threat using fangs, spikes and teeth. But there are representatives of the fauna that are small in size, whose appearance does not cause fear, but they have found a different way of defense or attack - these are tentacles, teeth, claws or a poisonous sting.
The most formidable weapon is the poison of some individuals, which represents mortal danger for a person. One type of poison causes excruciating pain, another causes cardiac arrest, and the third causes paralysis of the nervous or respiratory system. But the result in most cases - death! All representatives of the animal world can hardly be called dangerous in the full sense of the word: their behavior is driven by hunger and self-preservation instincts. As a rule, animals dangerous to human life and health do not attack just like that - they simply protect their territory and their offspring from encroachment.
