The name of this creature is mosquito, which not only survives by sucking our blood, but also kills us by doing so. According to BBC Earth Focus, more than 7 lakh 25 thousand people die every year across the world due to mosquitoes. Diseases ranging from dengue to malaria occur due to these mosquitoes. If it is not treated at the right time, then it slowly drags the human into the lap of death. In such a situation, one should not make the mistake of underestimating the mosquito. We need to be careful with it. According to the death statistics, it is considered the most dangerous for humans.

At the same time, after mosquitoes, if any other creature is dangerous for humans, then it is none other than the human being himself. According to a report, humans kill about 4 lakh people every year across the world. This is only a matter of common crimes. It does not include murders related to war and other crimes. At the third place are snakes like cobra, krait, taipan, due to which 1 lakh 38 thousand people die every year. Dogs are at number four.
