The most Dangerous creatures on Land
Be careful where you tread! - dangerous creatures are waiting to bite and sting you, wherever you are, the creatures below are some of the most deadly which attack and injure many thousands of people each year.
As you will find out below, large and powerful doesn't always spell danger, and we expect you'll be surprised to find out that it's actually some of the smallest creatures on the land that happen to be the most dangerous.
Some species of snake are far more venomous that the ones we have chosen, such as the Inland Taipan, but there hasn't been any reported cases of people dying from a bite, so we feel they are not as dangerous as the more common cobra for example, which we would consider more dangerous simply because of the chances of coming into conatct with one.
