Most Dangerous Animals In The United States
In the United States, many animals are frequently injured or killed as a result of hunting, car accidents, destruction of their habitat, an accidental poisoning of their food/water supply, and other human activity so it comes as no surprise that in most situations humans pose far more danger to wild animals then they do to us. That being said, humans are also occasionally injured or killed by wildlife. I’ve made a list of what are considered the most dangerous (in no particular order) animals in the United States.
Alligators
Primarily found in the southeastern United States, alligators, in most cases, are pretty timid and will attempt to escape if approached. It is easy to accidentally stumble across them with their skill at remaining motionless for extended periods combined with their ability to camouflage themselves. Alligators have a powerful bite, able to crush turtle shells, and can move quickly over short distances. Like most dangerous animals, you should always remain at a safe distance from them and never provoke them.
