Man is pretty much at the top of the food chain; there isn't much that eats us. The occasional shark, and the even more rare mountain lion, and the very rare bear attack.... Very few of even the biggest carnivores lunches on people and lives to tell the tale. Perhaps the Amazon river piranha, the tiny fish that can strip a skeleton bare in minutes? Nope. I don't suppose that something like that happens twice a year.

The animal that mostly eats man are the worms, feasting on our decaying bodies after we have been buried. Even if we count all of the 15,000 or more missing from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami as having been swept out to sea and taken by sharks, the worms still have them beat.
