Dani's Daily News episode 2!
Hello welcome back to Dani’s Daily news! This month is Breast cancer awareness month!
But for right now we better get back on the topic for the day, and that is the top ten most dangerous and deadly animals! I thought that this would be a very interesting topic for the day and would let you guys learn about the dangers that are out their that you wouldn’t even expect.
We will start our count down with number ten, which is the Tiger that lives in Asia and India. It averages between 40 and 100 victims per year because people are invading on its natural environment, and only attack on prey when it feels threatened. Wow, I wouldn’t want to be that guy!
Number nine is known as the sea wasp, measuring about 17 cm, it is the most venomous jellyfish known in the world. It can be found in the waters of Australia and the Philippines. Its tentacles can cause sweating, suffocation, and complete blindness, and more then 100 victims every year that get in contact with one of these.
Number eight is the deadly, Hippopotamus that lives in Africa, it is an herbivore but is still responsible for many fatal accidents. With its long teeth and its running speed of thirty it can be a real tank, and this causes more then 200 deaths each year.
Number seven is mainly in the Savannah, like the tiger, yepp it’s a lion. His hunting ground is slowly disappearing and doesn’t have much of a choice but to attack humans to survive. It causes about 250 deaths each year!
Number six is an insect found on all continents, the sting is not usually deadly, but with people with allergies is a different story. It is the bee, when people have an allergic reaction to these sometimes it can be fatal and make the person go into shock, 400 people become victims of this each year.
Number five is the largest land mammal, yepp it’s the African savannah elephant. This elephant can be pretty violent when it’s around people. Its weight is about 7,300 kg. About 600 people are killed every year by these huge mammals.
Number four is a reptile in the tropics and subtropics of Africa, India, South America, and Australia. It’s the crocodile, and I surely wouldn’t want to come in counter with one of these. They kill about 2000 people each year.
Number three is the scorpion there are over 1,500 species of these that live in Africa, Australia, and the Sahara. The scorpion causes many accidents; about 5000 people die every year by their venomous sting.
Number two is the king cobra, the venomous bite is so powerful that it can kill an elephant in less than three hours; the most venomous could kill 30 people at once. One hundred thousand people are victims of this snake bite every year.
Here comes number one, Very surprising but true…is the Mosquito. This insect lives on all continents and is the biggest killer of mankind by far. The dangerous thing about them is that they actually transmit diseases, a single bite is enough it’s the only one that can transmit malaria and way too many people die from it every year.
Well those we the top ten most dangerous animals, hope you enjoyed it! So ill See you next time on Dani’s Daily News!

Good job Dani. I was surprised how many people are killed by elephants. Yikes! The conclusion was well done, nice recap of the content. One recommendation I have for you is to take a longer pause between the snippets of the animals. The listener needs a little breather to soak in the information.
