Here are 10 most dangerous animals that you probably would not expect to make the list. You may have heard of some, but others will shock you!

Siafu Ants
These ants are also known as driver ants. They come in swarms of up to 50,000,000, and will react as if they are a single entity if even one driver ant is in danger.

Stonefish
They are camouflaged naturally to blend in with the ocean floor. While they are only aggressive toward their prey, it is easy to make the mistake of stepping on one. The venom from the spines can cost you a limb or even kill you.

Box Jellyfish
This translucent sea-dweller may not look all that menacing, but it is the most venomous animal on planet Earth. If you get stung by one of these animals, you are very likely to die.

Puffer Fish
They are deceptively cute, but quite dangerous. When threatened, they puff out their protruding spines. The venom from their spines can paralyze you, causing you to stop breathing, resulting in death.

Cone Snail
Just one drop of its venom can kill twenty human adults. There is no antivenin, which means that if you are stung, you will almost certainly be dead within minutes.

Deathstalker Scorpion
This diminutive scorpion may not look all that impressive, but it is responsible for roughly three fourths of all deaths resulting from scorpions every year.

Black Mamba
This snake may look less fearsome than the hooded cobra, but it is arguably more dangerous. It can strike very quickly and can also chase its victims at an incredible speed.

Hyena
The hyena is generally a scavenger, but it can also hunt prey if it wants to. During times of high human death toll (war, for example), it can develop a taste for human flesh.

Cape Buffalo
Cape buffalo have been known to charge victims without provocation… that’s 2,000 pounds of weight and the ability to charge at 40 miles an hour. These creatures will continue charging even if they are shot in the heart.

Humans
…Thanks to our ingenuity, we have learned how to arm ourselves with weapons and tools which have placed us at the top of the food chain. The scale to which we take our destruction is unique. No other animal starts worldwide wars or blasts whole regions of the earth into total ruin with nuclear weapons. Without a doubt, the most dangerous animal in the world is the face you see in the mirror each day.

So now you have your list of ten species of whom to steer clear. Let us know how number 10 works out for you, though. That might be tricky. To learn more about these dangerous animals, check out the Conservation Institute!
