AFRICA’S POWERFUL PREDATORS

Over 30 million tourists visit Africa yearly to experience its raw and untamed wildlife beauty. This brings significant safety concerns, as Africa is home to numerous powerful animals, and close interactions pose risks to humans. 

Here Are 5 Of The Most Dangerous Animals In Africa:

Spotted hyenas are the most prevalent carnivores in Africa and are the largest of all the hyena species. Their strong jaws deliver a bite force of up to 1,000 pounds per square inch. 

Capable of hunting prey significantly larger than themselves, these elusive big cats have a powerful build and are the ultimate predators in nature. 

Rhinoceroses, or rhinos, are the second-largest land animals on Earth. Although rhino attacks on humans are rare, they happen when threatened or provoked.

Out of the 3,500 snake species worldwide, nearly 500 can be found in Africa, with 81,000 to 138,000 fatalities reported each year from snake bites. 

Cape buffalo charge thousands of people each year; their sudden and unpredictable attacks with their massive, curved horns, injure many and kill around 200 every year.
