Our planet was formed more than 4.5 billion years ago, and basically remained a barren rock for about 50 million years before the earliest forms of life came into existence and began to populate the Earth. Over all that time, the Earth has essentially given life to millions of different plant and animal species, with human beings being one of those species. And with over 7.4 billion of us, we serve as the most dominant species on the planet. We may stand above all other living organisms in terms of intelligence and ingenuity, but like all living things, our lives eventually come to an end, usually because of old age, an illness, or some fluke accident, but human beings can also see their lives end as a result of other animals.
Ever since the human race came into being, we have had to learn how to coexist and survive in a world filled with dangerous animals. Many of which had, and continue to have, no problem hunting and eating us. Obviously, as time went by, our intelligence allowed us to develop new survival methods. Because of these methods, we were able to stop living out in the wild, and started living in massive cities, which greatly reduced the number of humans being killed by animals. However, despite all of our intellectual advances, there are still over 1 million humans who die each and every year as a result of coming into contact with animals. This article will identify the 15 animals who claim the most human lives every year, some of which will surprise you.
