Most Dangerous Animals To Humans

With the tiger mauling death of a visitor to the San Francisco Zoo a topical news item, I thought it would be interesting to note which animals are the most dangerous to humans. Actually, it was Cherie's idea to post this on my blog, so props to my brilliant spouse. NobleMinds.com is the source for this list of animals, ranked by the number of human fatalitites per year:

Mosquito 2 million
Snake 100,000
Scorpion 5,000
Crocodile 2,000
Elephant 600
Bee 400
Lion 250
Hippoppotamus 200
Jellyfish 100
Shark 30 to 100
