Since "dangerous" is a subjective term, it can mean different things to different people.

For example some animals can be deadly to humans in some circumstances but are unlikely to come in contact with a human these days such as a bison or a wolverine.

Based on frequency of attack and lethalness, the most dangerous mammal in the U.S. is the Cougar also known as the Mountain Lion.

There are many subspecies of this large cat. One of the most endangered is the Florida Panther whose population hit an all time low in the 1980s at 20 individuals.
