Where The 11 Deadliest Animals In The US Live

2:41 “snakes live in every state, except for Alaska”

Me: I think I’m bout to move..

[telenelatelin]

There is a problem with the way this data is presented is in that it fails to account for interaction frequency. (I know I’m being picky here)
But my risk of death per encounter with a mountain lion or bear is still substantially higher than it is with a dog or cow. But I interact with the ladder 1000x more. Presented this way, the information is much more useful to viewers, though not as flashy

[Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

We bigfoots aren't usually that dangerous, we just want to scare you out of our woods so we can get some peace and quiet

[starcherry]

Cows kill people in sneaky ways

Kudos to the animation team for not using images of any creature, this really must've minimised phobia triggers

These animals are like little puppies in comparison to the things that live in Australia

[Sublimer]

2:59 I live in southwest Missouri in between Springfield and Branson. We have all 3 types of rattlesnakes in this area. I'm an avid; hiker, climber, kayaker, outdoor adventurer in general. I see these snakes on occasion. They are less common than the Copperhead or Water Moccasin a.k.a.(Cottonmouth) but they are still here. I assure that!
