What is the top 20-animal predators?

Answer 1

5. African Lion

The African Lion can reach up to half a ton. Lions are thought to kill up to 70 humans per year in Tanzania. These large animals are eclipsed in size only slightly by the tiger.

4. Great White Shark

This shark is an exceptionally large shark found in coastal waters in all major oceans. It can reach lengths of up to 6 metres and can weigh up to 5 tons. The Great White Shark is the worlds largest known predatory fish. It is the only surviving species of its genus. In general these creatures do not attack humans, and (while there have been some fatalities) the majority of attacks on humans are believed to be test bites - the Great White Shark are known to test bite other objects in order to determine what they are. More people are killed each year in the US by dogs than Great White Sharks in the last 100 years.

3. Box Jellyfish

Also known as the wasp jellyfish, this salad-bowl sized jellyfish can have up to 60 tentacles as long as 15 feet. Each tentacle has enough toxin to kill 50 humans. They are found in Australia, the Philippines, and many other tropical areas. Since 1884 at least 5,567 deaths have been attributed to these creatures.

2. Asian Cobra

While the Asian cobra does not have the deadliest venom, it does make the most of what it has, causing the largest chunk of the 50 thousand deaths by snakebite per year. An average cobra is about 1 metre in length.

And the top... (beleive it or not)...

1. The Mosquito

Due to malaria carrying parasites transferred by the mosquito, it is responsible for the deaths of more than two million people per year. In addition, Mosquitos are estimated to transfer diseases to more than 70 million people per year. Even in countries such as the UK, New Zealand, and Japan, where the more temperate climate has reduced mosquito bites to mostly an annoyance, they still cause some deaths every year.

ALL THESE ANSWERS ONLY ANSWER THE QUESTION AS IT RELATES TO DEATHS ON HUMANS. tHE GREAT WHITE IS EASILY DISPATCHED BY THE ORCAS OR KILLER WHALES AND A MALE TIGER CAN WEIGHT 200 POUNDS MORE THAN A MALE LION AND WOULD EASILY DISPATCH IN A ONE ON ONE ENCOUNTER.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'top,' but I do know that some large carnivores in Tanzania include lions, hyenas, leopards, African wild dogs, and crocodiles. There are also cheetahs.
