Fire ants kill more humans in the US each year than rattlesnakes do. Who'd have thought it, eh!

Apparently, in the USA, vending machines kill more people in than sharks.

Moreover, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission there were 37 known vending machine fatalities between 1978 and 1995, for an average of 2.18 deaths per year. Over the past decade there were a total of six recorded shark attack fatalities in the U.S., for an average of .6 deaths per year. Ergo, barring a drastic reduction in the frequency of vending machine accidents since 1995, vending machines are indeed more deadly than sharks by a factor of almost four.

Australia has a reputation for having some of the most dangerous animals on Earth - but the most dangerous animal in Australia is the horse.
- They are big and strong
- They can run fast
- They are high - and people sit on top of them
- Some people try to sit on them while they jump over fences
- Some people even try to sit on them when no-one has sat on them before...
