8. Hyena

 

Though a scavenger, the Hyena is not afraid to hunt. It’s also known, when given the chance, to develop a taste for human flesh as witnessed during Africa’s civil wars. The Hyena is known for its canning laugh and its strong jaws that are perfectly designed to crush bones.

Very large spotted hyenas are the most dangerous to humans, occurring mostly when people are forced to sleep outdoors near roads that cross through their territory. One report from 2004 indicates that 35 people were killed by spotted hyenas along one 20km-long stretch of road over a 12-month period!

Next on our list is a much bigger land animal. It is extremely dangerous because of its tendency to attack humans without provocation!
