Loading...10 Deadliest Animals You Wouldn’t Want to Meet
This post originally appeared on the BBCEarth blog.
1. Black Caiman
At six meters long, this scaly giant is the largest species in the caiman family and more impressively, the largest predator in the Amazon basin. It has self-replacing teeth along with the most acidic stomach bile in the animal kingdom. This allows them to digest every bit of their prey, including bones, shells and teeth.

+ add your ownI agree--these animals are fierce, but humans have them beat!
What a shame--we're the dumbest and the deadliest--not a good combination!
Interesting animals--thanks for the article!
woow. cool staff
No malaria?
scary
I agree, humans should be #1. While facing any of this top 10 is not dangerous and deadly, humans probably kill more of these animals and plants and more than these animals kill humans. I like your list, but humans should be listed as an apex predator. Maybe you can make another list with the top 10 depraved human killers. I'm sure the list wouldn't stop at 10.
Thanks
Human should be # 1
~I wouldn't like to have a close encounter with any of these animals!!~
Thanks for sharing..I,wouldn't want to run into any one of them..but the picture of a human should have been #1!
