1. Crocodile
The crocodile, statistically, kills the greatest number of people every year world-wide. It latches on with its mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and then performs a “death roll” in an attempt to both drown and dismember you.

9. Deadly Nightshade
Nightshade is a plant with dull green leaves and sweet, shiny black berries, which often can lure unsuspecting adults & children to eat them. Legend has it that the soldiers of Macbeth made wine from these berries in order to poison an invading army.
Consuming the plant causes paralysis of the muscles in the body, including the heart. Even just touching the leaves can cause skin irritation.
