There are a lot of animals that did not make the list, like Alligators and the N. American Crocodile, Coyotes, Red wolves, Polar Bears, Black Bears, and in the Southwest, Jaguars. I got tickled when you were talking about national parks like they're city parks. You have to understand our national park system is enormous. For perspective, the entire land area of the UK is roughly 60 million acres; the US has more than 84 million acres of national park land alone.

I, too, was waiting for Coyotes to make the list. Coyotes, Snakes, and Deer are probably the biggest ones around where I live. I have heard wolves out in the country areas near me a couple of times, but I haven't actually seen one. (I've seen A LOT of Coyotes and Snakes though)

[@pyrovania]

Other animals not mentioned: 1. Great white sharks do attack people pretty often. Mostly surfers that they mistake for seals (their natural prey). 2. There are other venomous snakes in the southern parts of the US, copperheads are one. 3. The far north of Alaska has polar bears. 4. the article didn't mention bees, hornet and wasps. Allergic reaction to a bee sting can be fatal.

[@caesarplaysgames]

Coyotes actually aren’t very dangerous, they only really pose a deadly threat towards young children and pets. In fact, coyotes are only believed to have killed one adult human ever that we know of, a Canadian country singer named Taylor Mitchell who was 19 years old. Most of the time coyotes would rather steer clear of humans as much as possible, as they are extremely skittish, but now that we’re seeing urban coyotes becoming a thing, these urban coyotes are losing their fear of humans, so we’ll have to see how that changes things.

But if you’re actually in a place with bison, say Yellowstone for example, your odds of being attacked by a bison are significantly greater than a million to one, probably even greater than your odds of being attacked by an alligator in Louisiana.

They might try to eat a small dog if it’s right by the shore or swimming but other than that there is nothing to worry about. I’ve seen a guy swimming like 10 feet from like 20 alligators in the water with him and he wasn’t worrying at all. Crocodiles are totally different. They will eat any human and lunge out the water to eat. Luckily the only place in America with Crocodiles is the Everglades in very South Florida.

Brits: "Why would you need a gun?" Me, an American living in the Pacific Northwest: "Y'all ever seen a bear or mountain lion in person in the wild? That's why. The larger the caliber and deadlier the bullets, the better. You do NOT want your shots to wound, you want them to drop its ass dead before it hits the ground, and by God, semi-auto "assault rifles" with 30 round magazines and .30 caliber rounds do the trick."

[@starlightequestrian6729]

Met a mountain lion while riding a horse in the Utah mountains. Neither animal noticed the other and I kept praying it would stay that way. Didn't want my horse spooking and taking off down the mountain with a cougar on my tail.

[@giovannib27]

I live in Florida and see alligators almost everyday, and they honestly are not dangerous at all, unless you are less then 10 years old. They mostly eat turtles and fish. They might try to eat a small dog if it’s right by the shore or swimming but other than that there is nothing to worry about. I’ve seen a guy swimming like 10 feet from like 20 alligators in the water with him and he wasn’t worrying at all. Crocodiles are totally different. They will eat any human and lunge out the water to eat. Luckily the only place in America with Crocodiles is the Everglades in very South Florida.

[@IrishBiteGirl]

This list was "deadliest" as in the number of attacks. There's plenty of other dangerous animals in the USA that are technically more dangerous than these ones. But since they don't have high rates of attacking humans, they are not on the list.

[@arcxjo]

By that metric, pit bulls should have been on the list. I know, "it's all how you raise them" and "chihuahuas are more aggrssive" (funny how breed matters there, but not for the one that was actually developed for pit fighting), but by fatalities pits are about 25/year and rising, while all other dogs together are about 12).

In terms of how dangerous Moose are, one thing they left out is that they're really fond of charging and flipping cars.

[@johnalden5821]

When preparing to book a cabin in Maine once, the folks I talked with gave me a serious "no sh*t" warning: If you hit a moose broadside, you will just hit the legs. The momentum will flip up the body, which will then land right on the front windshield and potentially go right into the cabin of the car, crushing the people in the front seat. When we went there, I thanked the people over and over. We encountered half a dozen moose on the roads in the area. They have NO fear of cars and often will not get out of the way.

[@Sothas]

@@johnalden5821 This was done on Myth Busters. The myth is that if you speed up you'll knock the moose over the car and it was very busted. Don't do this. You'll very die. More speed = more force = more dead. Those people who warned you were absolutely right.

Deer have attacked people in Hyde park in London. When they’re rutting they’re extremely territorial. Those antlers are no joke. And you absolutely can get out and enjoy National parks on foot. Just be mindful of drop offs, river edges and animals.

Make sure to head any sign you see. If it says to stay on the path, stay on the path, don't go wandering around. There is a reason why there are signs. Also I know of brown bears, grizzlies and black bears, not different types of grizzlies. You learn something new every day.

fun Yellowstone fact: there's only one, two-lane road that goes in a figure-8 through the park, and they often get totally blocked by herds of bison, causing "bison jams" that can take several hours to clear. As for your question about how to navigate national parks, it depends. Many, it's totally safe to get out of the car and have a wander as long as you follow all posted rules and are sensible. When I worked at Yellowstone, there was honestly a shocking number of parent who would try to put their children on or near deer, wolves, bison, and even grizzlies to try and get photos.

Maybe you did this and the bear came in anyway, but there is an ironclad rule: don't have any food in your tent, ever! Don't store it there or eat it there or have it in there. Bears can smell food from a mile away, and the scent will linger in your tent even if the food is no longer there. Even if you spilled food on your shirt, and the shirt is in the tent, they will smell that.

[@namegoeshereorhere5020]

Love how most of the animals they showed during the moose segment were not moose. However, they are the only animal I really worry about running into. Wolves I don't worry about much at all, they're smart and have learned the hard way not to screw with humans. Oddly enough the only wild animal attack I've had was from a beaver, who knew they could move so fast on land! Probably the best thing to do when in the woods is to make noise, most animals will avoid humans, if you happen to surprise them that's usually when bad things happen.

[@libertybell8852]

Wild boar too. Those things are VERY aggressive and will attack without any provocations all. And you better hope that you have a rifle, I knew a guy that nearly lost his leg to a boar attack.
