72 dangerous animals africa

forest buffalo: The African forest buffalo is a small subspecies of the African buffalo. Cape buffaloes weigh 425 to 870 kg (937 to 1,918 lb), whereas African forest buffaloes are much lighter, weighing in at 250 to 320 kg (550–705 lbs). Weight is not the only differentiation, however; this subspecies has a reddish-brown hide that is darker in the facial area. The shape and size of the horns distinguish African forest buffalo from the other subspecies. African forest buffalo have much smaller horns than their counterparts the Cape, Sudan and Nile buffalo. Cape buffalo horns often grow and fuse together, but African forest buffalo horns rarely fuse. Both male and female buffalos grow large, deadly horns that they use as weapons and for defense. African buffalos have excellent eyesight, hearing, and a sense of smell that helps them detect the presence of lions, their greatest enemies. Their eyesight is so acute that buffalos often graze at night.

forest buffalo goes into first

hyena: The spotted hyena is a highly successful animal, being the most common large carnivore in Africa. Its success is due in part to its adaptability and opportionism it is primarily a hunter but may also scavenge, with the capacity to eat and digest skin, bone and other animal waste. In functional terms, the spotted hyena makes the most efficient use of animal matter of all African carnivores. The spotted hyena displays greater plasticity in its hunting and foraging behaviour than other African carnivores it hunts alone, in small parties of 2–5 individuals or in large groups. During a hunt, spotted hyenas often run through ungulate herds to select an individual to attack. Once selected, their prey is chased over a long distance, often several kilometres.

the hyena is really fast and is a really sucessful hunter and it takes down the forest buffalo and the buffalo goes down to 2nd

tarantula: Pterinochilus murinus or the orange baboon tarantula is an old-world tarantula that was first described in 1897. This species is found on the African continent, in Angola, as well as central, eastern, and southern Africa. It is a member of the subfamily Harpactirine, baboon spiders. Many tarantula species have a special kind of setae, known as urticating hairs, that serve as a defensive weapon. Not only can these bristles rub off on a predator when it makes contact with a tarantula, but the spider can also actively flick them at troublemakers with its legs. they also have fangs that inject a tiny bit of venom and cause a lot of pain.

i can agree that tarantula can make on the list of its devastating hairs and fangs but it is not a match against the hyena and buffalo .it goes straight into third, our cape buffalo from walmart and predatory dog still stays strong

warthog: The common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) is a wild member of the pig family found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa. In the past, it was commonly treated as a subspecies of P. aethiopicus, but today that scientific name is restricted to the desert warthog of northern Kenya, Somalia, and eastern Ethiopia. It's not easy to catch them. Besides being good at dodging and running, warthogs are not afraid to fight. They use their sharp lower canine teeth (which look like straight tusks) as weapons while squealing at the top of their lungs! When they walk, their tail hangs down, but when they run, their tail sticks up, with the bushy tip hanging down. This may serve as a warning to other warthogs if danger is near.

the warthog is not really a dangerous animal but the tarantula is less dangerous .the warthog goes straight to third pushing the gigantic spider to fourth

ostrich: Ostriches are large flightless birds. They are the heaviest and largest living birds, with adult common ostriches weighing anywhere between 140-320 lbs and laying the largest eggs of any living land animal. With the ability to run at 70 km/h (43.5 mph), they are the fastest birds on land. They are farmed worldwide, with significant industries in the Philippines and in Namibia. Ostrich leather is a lucrative commodity, and the large feathers are used as plumes for the decoration of ceremonial headgear. Ostrich eggs have been used by humans for millennia. An ostrich's powerful, long legs can cover 10 to 16 feet in a single stride. These legs can also be formidable weapons. Ostrich kicks can kill a human or a potential predator like a lion. Each two-toed foot has a long, sharp claw.

the ostrich definitly is a deadly bird but it cant compete with our top 3,the warthog is more aggresive forest buffalo has better weapons and the hyena is basically a murder weapon,the only thing it can beat rn is the tarantula

chimpanzee: The chimpanzee Pan troglodytes), also known as simply the chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forests and savannahs of tropical Africa. It has four confirmed subspecies and a fifth proposed one. When its close relative the bonobo was more commonly known as the pygmy chimpanzee, this species was often called the common chimpanzee or the robust chimpanzee. The chimpanzee and the bonobo are the only species in the genus Pan. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing shows that Pan is a sister taxon to the human lineage and is humans' closest living relative. The chimpanzee is covered in coarse black hair, but has a bare face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. It is larger and more robust than the bonobo, weighing 40–70 kg (88–154 lb) for males and 27–50 kg (60–110 lb) for females and standing 150 cm (4 ft 11 in). That said, chimps are indeed aggressive animals, the experts explained — both toward humans and each other. But they typically stick with primitive tools of aggression. They have been observed to throw rocks at humans, but their primary weapons are their hands, feet and teeth.

the chimp basically is a murder weapon just like the hyena but however it cant manage our other murder weapon,the hyena because the hyena basically can eat anything,down goes forest buffalo,warthog,ostrich and tarantula to 3rd,4th,5th and 6th

the finalist for this episode is the hyena see yall!

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
