Some of the Deadliest Animals in Africa
Thursday, October 15th, 2009Africa is a whole different world, and its somewhere that a lot of people will not get to see. But as well as some of the great attractions in Africa, there are also some deadly animals and creatures in and around the continent. So let us take a look at some of the dealiest animals around.
Lions
There are so many lions throughout the whole nation of Africa, but the worst place that you could probably end up going has to be Tsavo in Kenya. This is where a lot of people lost their lives by Lion attacks. Which is actually quite unusual as Lions do not hunt for humans, but a few of them, especially the male ones tend to attack a huge amount of people.
Crocodiles
The crocodiles in Africa actually have quite powerful jaws. Attacks by crocodiles in the continent are said to be on the advance. Crocodiles kill their prey and kill human beings inside seconds by dragging them below the water.
Elephant
Although you may not believe elephants can be deathly or harmful, they are in all likelihood one of the most harmful animals. It is said that when an Elephant is on Musth, they become very dangerous to humans and have to be avoided at all times. Their weight and size will break down any living thing, including the Lions.
Mosquito
These small little insects may appear to be harmless. But they have in reality caused the most deaths in Africa and continue to do so. The reason for the Mosquitos lethal streak is because they disperse the disastrous virus Malaria. Malaria actually takes around three thousands kids life every single day. In some of the countries it kills more people than AIDs and cholera does. If travelling to countries such as Africa, you should make sure that you get the needed vaccinations in place.
