Man.
Man can kill more animals (including other humans) than every other animal on the planet combined. Additionally, man can damage the environment and cause other animals to die indirectly.
No other animal on the planet has the potential to 'destroy' the world in the same way man has - Nuclear Weapons, Global Warming, 'messing around with quantum physics' etc.
No other animal can kill from 200 miles away with an electronic device.

Humans are the worlds most dangerous animal.
"Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied. "
Quotation from Henry George
EdG. says
Someone seems to have answered this already but Humans are the world's most dangerous animals by far. The statistics are undeniable. Humans have killed other humans and creatures in numbers that dwarf even those of the deadliest killers among the "lower" animals.
Theophanes says
Oooh I'd say the most dangerous animal to man is a mosquito... with malaria alone those boogers kill 1 million people a year (at least.) Then there's West Nile, EEE, dengue fever, yellow fever... all mosquito borne!
Though I must say fleas have done some great damage too. It was fleas that carried the bubonic plague that killed 30-60% of Europe in the 1300's.
After them I'd say domestic animals pose the greatest risk of maulings, injury, and disease... Bird flu, swine flew, anthrax, various pox diseases, diphtheria, leptospirosis, brucellosis, E coli, salmonella, AIDs (origionally came from other primates,) botulism, foot and mouth disease, psitticosis, rocky mountain spotted fever, tape worms and parasites, etc... all can be carried or passed on by our domestics. This isn't to mention bite wounds can get infected and kill and the larger domestics can kill you outright in accidents or maulings...

The honey badger. Talk about persistent and aggressive! Hunting one of these would be like trying to take down Road Runner.
Man, animal... depends on your definition of animal.
ghosht says
Why man of course. Man kills everything, eats every things and destroys even what is given to him by God. When his strength falls short he uses weapons to compensate for his shortcomings. His need of comfort is so great , that he does not bother about his descendents, and the kind of world that they will be living in. His quest of knowledge takes him to other planets and space, but he does not care for the planet that he is living in.
Somesh Dutt says
Mosquito!! Scientists say its the most dangerous living form around infecting humans with deadly diseases like malaria, dengue etc.
dabeaner says
I beg to disagree. Chupacabras are only the second most dangerous. The most dangerous are politicians.
lostgirlscat says
Hate to say this, being a horse owner and lover myself, But, at least in the U.S.,I beleive they account for more deaths and serious injury than any other animal. Just ask your insurance company.
MikeNV says
Kittens? Hmmmm here were have people describing man as an "animal"... but most people think of themselves as being made in the "image of God"... so was God an animal? Hmmmmmm I'm gonna say Kittens!

African honey badger was selected by the Guiness Book of Records as the fiercest and courageous animal in Africa. They are small, but fearless.
akirchner says
The snake - any snake - big or small - if it is a snake, I'm dead before it even comes near me! Seriously I am reminded of that movie I Dreamed of Africa - I'm probably so going to have nightmares now! I know there are way more deadly animals but snakes just do it for me!!! The snakes in this movie though there were no anti-venom for....yikes!
saurabhpande says
The most dangerous animal on the earth asking the whole bunch of most dangerous animals that who is the most dangerous animal? What a paradox?
H P Roychoudhury says
Of course man but man of particular nature – a man who is too clever and intelligent or a man who is a fool.
JamesCurtis says
If you take opposable thumbs and tool making out of the equation I thin k it has to be the grizzly bear.
BrianLeanza says
I have been told that on the african continent the hippo is the one animal that kills the largest number of people per year ... who would have thought that?
If that makes it the most dangerous animal ... I really don't know. I have a hard time picturing a hippo actually attacking a human. My fantasy is more likely to offer me images of a hippo accidentally sitting on some guy fishing on a riverbank ;)
SEYMOUR ONE says
Is man an animal? I don't think the term appropriately describes us. We are the only species on this planet that, once they no longer have to worry about survival, have the ability to ponder their own existence. Art, music, philosophy, these are not the creations of an animal but the expressions of a higher consciousness. To label 'man' as an animal one disregards hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and forward thought.
So I'm gonna go with hippo, I heard they kill more humans than any other animal.
kimberleee says
Too easy. The correct answer to this question is homo sapiens.
TH White suggested we change the latin to homo feros (ferocious man) ...and I'd have to agree with him.
zeromarket says
a snake called black mamba it can kill a man/woman in 7 seconds
either that or sharks :(
sneakorocksolid says
It would have to be a man/woman that have had their brains eaten by aliens and are now liberals. They are sad and deadly and the worst part is they don't even know what their doing or saying! Be very careful when handling them!
thaninja says
I was thinking bees and wasps, because of all the people who have allergies to them.. They can be so nasty.
sassyphotogs says
Man is the most dangerous animal..."he" does negative acts out of big egos and bad attitudes. "he" reacts to negativity with more negativity...instead of being understanding towards others, more often than not, "man" will turn his back and hope no one notices he did so...
cdacoffee says
It is the men who desire to mandate their own wills upon the wills of others that are the most dangerous of all..
makemoneyinternet says
I'm going to go with.....Nancy Pelosi, if we mean most dangerous to mankind. Yea...Pelosi, definitely.
Nost says
well, to the orphans answer. in your case wouldent the animal that killed all those people be a parisite or virus??? but my answer would have to be a question what catagory of animal are we just saying all living things??? or just mamals oh shit now im confused ... ok ill guess the box jelly fish???
manishmindcapture says
dangerous animals are in large quantity..which level r u talking.?
In the forest world lion species are the most dangerous animals.from my point of view.others like snake,crocodile etc comes after lions...........
tjthudium1996 says
That would depend on the person, it depends on the situation too, also which mood the animal is in. it could be an elephant, a snake, and it could even be a spider
