These massive sharks are found around the coastal surface waters of all major oceans. They stand behind the largest number of reported and fatal unwarranted shark attacks on humans. Large adult females can grow up to 20 feet in length and weigh 4,200 Ibs.
While these massive predators aren’t a fan of human meat (we’re much too bony) that won’t deter them from sampling you. Their bite can sometimes lead you to bleed to death. They aren’t good at telling the difference between what’s food and what’s not, and sometimes take bites of boats and surfboards. These sharks can live up to 70 years or more. However, even they have a natural predator, the orca or killer whale.
African Leopard
These fierce animals are quite aggressive. While they aren’t the biggest of animals, with males weighing around 130 Ibs and females around 77 to 88 lbs, they exhibit great strength and are able to hide large kills in trees, like giraffes and antelopes.
Their coat color ranges from pale yellow to deep gold or black, with a pattern of black rosettes, while their head, lower limbs, and belly are solid black. The color alternates depending on different locations and habitats.
Termites
These creatures aren’t necessarily deadly but they can destroy your property by eating wood for their queen. They feed mostly on dead plant material and cellulose, in the form of wood, leaf litter, soil, or animal dung. They can kill trees through this process, which sometimes may cause death to those nearby.
While they can be very invasive, they are actually some of the most successful groups of insects on Earth and are found in most places around the world, except Antarctica. Their colonies range from a few hundred members to millions. Queen termites have an exceptionally long lifespan, with some of them living 30 to 50 years.
Eurasian Wolf
These wolves have killed more than 7,000 people. Not as friendly as dogs, their bite can be deadly.
They are native to Europe and depend on livestock and garbage as their food source, generally in areas that are highly populated by humans.
Botfly
These bugs may seem small and harmless but don't let that misleading exterior fool you. They will hurt you and they won't mind one bit. These flies infest and lay eggs inside of humans’ bodies.
The eggs can live and feed off of you for months, sometimes causing infections and death. That doesn't mean you should panic over every fly you come across. Since these guys are common in Belize, if you aren't planning on traveling there, you should be fine.
