For simplicity's sake, we're going to assume you wish to know what animal is responsible for the most human deaths per year. Thankfully, the good people at the <A href="http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/AnimalRecords/">Smithsonian National Zoological Park</A> have the answer. </SMALL></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ask.yahoo.com/20070228.html"><SMALL> We were expecting a big fearsome creature like the crocodile, lion, or shark to be the most deadly. However, the real number-one killer is much smaller and far more annoying -- the <A href="http://www.andrewtobias.com/newcolumns/060831.html">mosquito</A>. </SMALL></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ask.yahoo.com/20070228.html"><SMALL> According to the Smithsonian, female <I>Anopheles</I> mosquitoes, which carry malaria, kill over 1 million people every year. The site <A href="http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/top10_deadliestanimals-1.html">Live Science</A> agrees, rating the mosquito
number one on its list of the top 10 deadliest animals. </SMALL></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ask.yahoo.com/20070228.html"><SMALL> But what if you don't count the mosquito as an actual animal? In that case, it appears the <A href="http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mhippo.html">hippopotamus</A> is the deadliest. This <A href="http://www.bootsnall.com/articles/04-06/on-hippos-st-lucia-lake-south-africa.html">article </A> by Allan Taylor states, "More people are killed by the hippopotamus than any other wild animal, either by being trampled to death or having their boat capsized." </SMALL></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D3A0DFCB-B6DC-43F6-8FAF-772D77631699/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
