1. Africanized bee.

These bees are very prone to attack, especially in large numbers. If they think you are a threat, they will attack.

2. Giant African earth snail.

We know what you're thinking: "What, a snail?". They are not poisonous, but they can transmit the parasite that causes meningitis. It's better to back off slowly.

3. Big tiger fish.

If you're knee-deep in the Congo Basin for some crazy reason, you might already be running like the wind if you see this fish swimming toward you. They are fast, have sharp teeth, and have even been known to eat small crocodiles.

4. Crested baboon.

The crested baboon may not be the largest animal, about the size of a small dog, but their quirky appearance and sharp teeth may make you think twice before approaching.

5. Japanese giant hornet.

It is believed that in Japan 40 people die every year from their bites.

6. Giant centipede.

The giant centipede is the largest centipede in the world, reaching up to 30 cm in length or more. To top it all off, these hectic nocturnal monsters have a powerful toxin that can kill most animals and seriously harm humans. They are also quite aggressive.

7. Portuguese boat.

One good look at a Portuguese man-of-war and you'll probably say it's a jellyfish. But in fact, it is an animal, consisting of a colony of organisms. Despite this, the venom from its tentacles can kill animals and cause severe pain to humans.
