9. Hippopotamus
When we think of hippos, we think of large, cute herbivores who spend their whole day in the water. The word

Hippopotamus comes from the Greek “water-horse” due to the hippo’s fondness for water. The hippo’s closest

cousins are whales and cows, but don't let these innocent relations fool you. The hippo is one of the most

feared animals in Africa. Highly territorial and aggressive, hippos have been known to knock over small boats

and attack the crew. Only the female hippos bite force has been measured since the male was much too aggressive

to test, but it measured at a whopping 1821 pounds per square inch.
A former tour guide once told the story of how he was attacked by a bull hippo while kayaking on the Zambezi

River near Victoria Falls. Half of his body ended up in the mouth of the hippo. He managed to get free, only for

the hippo to attack again. Eventually, the hippo got bored with his new toy and spat the man out. The only

reason he survived was because a medical team happened to be nearby.
8. Komodo Dragon
In 1969, an American biologist named Walter Auffenberg moved to the Indonesian island of Komodo to study its

most famous resident—the Komodo dragon. Considered the largest in the world, the Komodo dragon can grow up to 3

meters (9 feet) and can take down large prey like deer and water buffalo. Auffenberg spent a year on the island

observing the real life dragon and wrote about their mythical powers.
Auffenberg noticed that large animals injured by the dragons soon developed infections. Based on this

observation, and no actual evidence, he suggested that the dragons had a bacteria as a form of venom. This

explanation became widespread and can still be found in textbooks, wildlife documentaries, zoo placards, and

more. But….it’s not true.
In 2009, Bryan Fry from the University of Queensland discovered the true culprit behind the dragon’s bite. He

put a Komodo dragon in a medical scanner, which couldn’t have been easy! It turns out the dragon has venom

glands, which are loaded with toxins that lower blood pressure, cause massive bleeding, prevent clotting and

induce shock. Rather than using bacteria as venom, the dragons use...venom as venom.
Based on a thorough analysis of the dragon’s skull, Fry thinks that they kill with a grip, rip and drip tactic.

They bite down with serrated teeth and pull back with powerful neck muscles. The result: huge wounds. The venom

then quickens the loss of blood and sends the prey into shock. Pretty horrifying even without the bacteria.
Komodos do bite people but only rarely, probably since most people aren’t hanging around Komodo dragons anyway.

In 2015, a captive juvenile Komodo dragon bit an Omaha zookeeper. Luckily, though, the zookeeper survived

because she received medical attention immediately.
7. King Cobra
The King Cobra is the world’s longest venomous snake. It grows up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length. Its Latin name,

Ophio-phagus, literally means “snake-eater” since it eats other snakes, which makes it similar to the King Snake

of North America.
Its venom is not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobras can inject more venom than the black mamba

-up to 600 mg! This can result in one of the fastest mortality rates for any snake bite: typically 30-45 minutes

after the envenomation. If untreated, the mortality rate is something like 60%. What happens if you are bitten?

Symptoms may include severe pain, vertigo, paralysis and then coma. The snake is pretty widespread, ranging

across Southern and South-east Asia, living in dense highland forests. So, be careful if you ever find yourself

hiking through that area.
