Human is the unquestioned ruler of the world, with the intelligence and ability to improve it. However, human beings today still face the deadly threats from several creatures that could in fact claim thousands of lives.

Some animals can easily rip off your head with one swipe of their giant paws, some can paralyze you within seconds by injecting their venom and yet others can remove one of your legs within one bite. Sounds terrible? It's true though.

China.org.cn here presents you the top 10 deadliest animals in the world. Wait ‘til you see what damage they can do…

 Shark（鯊魚）

Most people would be scared to death when faced with a shark. Nevertheless, the number of human beings actually hurt by sharks is not as high as that of those hurt by other animals featured on this fatal list. Blood in the water can excite sharks into a feeding frenzy. On a global average, there are 50 people killed by sharks every year. The deadliest types include bull sharks, tiger sharks and the Great White.
