Which animal kills the most people in the world?

Q: My friends says it’s the hippo but is it? BTW I mean which animal besides humans. Thanks

A: Deer (by causing car accidents) and mosquitoes and rats (by carrying diseases) kill the most people, but it is indirectly. I would say the animal that kills the most people directly each year is the snake. Millions of people are bitten each year, and thousands of these people die from the venom. Snakes can be found on all continents but Antarctica, and are often not noticed until it is to late. Hippos, although they do kill many people every year, are only found in Africa and can be more easily spotted an avoided. Hippos aren’t as vicious as their reputation claims, and if you avoid them they will pretty much leave you alone.Of course, the statistics are not exact; I’m sure many deaths due to all sorts of animals go unrecorded, so we can really only make our best guess as to which kills the most humans.

What is the most major earthquake in the world that killed the most people?

Q:

A: By magnitude, it is the Valdvida earthquake in Chile. It was a 9.5, the largest earthquake ever recorded. By the way, earthquakes can’t get much stronger than that because the size is proportional to the area slipping, and no where are you going to find a bigger area in slippage. Once you get up to magnitude 12, the earth splits in half.By loss of life, China has #1 and #2. The 1556 Shaanxi earthquake killed 830,000 people, mostly from cave collapse. The 1976 Tangshan earthquake, an 8.2, killed 242,149 officially but some have estimated it being 3x that figure.Third (or second) would be the 2004 Sumatra quake which killed 283,100.
