A CLOSER LOOK

Mammals, often seen as soft and cuddly members of the animal kingdom, primarily serve as working animals in fields, loyal companions in homes, and protectors in the wild. However, some mammals possess the ability to kill.

Here Are 5 Of The World's Most Dangerous Mammals:

Despite the strong bond between dogs and humans, individuals losing their lives to dog attacks are relatively common. 

These big cats are responsible for approximately 100 human fatalities annually in Tanzania. 

Grizzly and polar bears are considered the most dangerous, but Eurasian brown bears and American black bears have also been known to threaten humans.

Hippos have often been labelled as aggressive animals, with the number of human deaths caused by hippo attacks each year ranging from approximately 500 to 3,000.

In India, tigers have a history of attacking human visitors to zoos who enter enclosures or place their hands inside them. They also attack people in the wild, particularly in the Sundarbans.
