KILLER ANIMAL QUIZ

Interesting show on Animal Planet tonight. Can you name the top 10 animal killers of humans worldwide?

Hint #1: Dogs, spiders, and bears failed to make the list.

Hint #2: #3 kills about 1,500 people a year, #2 about 40,000 a year, and #1 in the millions.

Hint #3: Correct - mosquitoes is #1.

Hint #4: Death to human is caused by direct contact with animal, which removes deer, squirrels, domestic cats, and bunnies from consideration.

Hint #5: You might see four of the top 10 on your trip to the zoo.

Giveaway clues will follow the next guess.

I saw a similar show tonight on 10 critters with really big mouths, but not the top 10, just 10 among many, and I was playing air hockey while last night's show was on, and I missed the intro, so possibly these 10 are not the top 10 but just the 10 that they picked.
