Animals - Animal-eating plants (herbivores) is famous for friendly and tame, but there are Part of animal species - has become more dangerous animals bahakan more savage than the other carnivores ... perhaps because of his size, sharpness of their teeth and claws and even supported with full power if attack ... And following are 10 of herbivorous animals that should make you extra careful if see him .... 

Wild 1.Celeng 

Wild boar is not completely vegetarian, they eat small animals such as insects, lizards and frogs (on occasion), and will not reject carrion. However, like any other pig species, they also consume the plants. Male weight of 300 kg (though rare, can be described weighing more than 1 ton) and has a large ivory sharp and can easily tear open the stomach with a predator. Adult male wild pigs are known to fend off the wolves without any assistance! Females have smaller tusks, but also still very dangerous, especially when they have a baby pig to be protected. 

2.Kasuari 

Cassowary is one of the largest bird in the world. They live in rain forests of Australia and New Guinea and was good at doing many things. For example, the symbol above their heads are hollow bird that is used to generate a call with a very low frequency to communicate with other cassowaries in the distance. These animals get into this list because the Cassowary is the most deadly bird in the world, although in general they eat fruit. But when disturbed, they will jump into the air with style kung-fu and kick the enemy with a long claw feet deep, straight and shaped like a dagger. They can easily disembowel a man with 'senjata'nya, which has been widely used not only attack humans but wild dogs and even horses and cows! 

3.Baboon 

Gelada Baboon is a monkey that is really impressive, with a huge mane and a flat face, unique and living in the mountains of Ethiopia where most of them eat grass. Usually they are known as a peaceful animal, but they have a 'weapon' of the most frightening is the teeth. Although rare, they never attack humans at the zoo.This species is known to be very wild and aggressive. 

4.Bison 

With a weight that reaches a ton, the American bison is one of the two-body giant herbivores that live in North America (the other is a moose) after the extinction of ice age. They hunted and endangered by human beings today. But thanks to legal protection they can still be found in national parks. 
What most people do not know is bull is capable of killing tourists more than the power of bears and wolves!They usually will not attack unless you go in the 'private sphere' them. 

5.Gorilla: 

After the chimpanzees, gorillas are animals that are similar to ours, but of course there are big differences between them and us. Silver back gorilla is Sepertiseorang adult males, usually the leader of the gorilla, which weighs 200 kilograms / sometimes more, and has a strength of at least 10 adults. They are usually vegetarian and friendly, but adult males will not hesitate to attack any intruder who could pose a threat to his family. With 'senjata'nya a very large, very long arms, sharp canine teeth, and capable of running two times faster than humans. When angry, a gorilla would be as scary as a large predator.

Forest 7.Kerbau 

Buffalo may look like a giant cow, but they are actually the most feared ground herbivores in Africa. Very easy to get angry, because the herbivorous animals that flourished in the country would be governed by powerful predators such as lions and hyenas, and thus they have no choice but to become a creature of his own difficulties. With a big body, sharp horns and nails become 'weapons' deadly serious, and they are one of the few animals that will come back down to help a "friend". If the buffalo were captured by a lion or wounded by hunters, there is a good chance that the rest of the herd attacker will charge to help their partners. 

8.Gajah 

We are accustomed to seeing elephants as a peaceful animal, said even friendly. But they are actually the most dangerous wild creature. Elephants have killed a zoo keeper more than other animals, and because of the size and weight of kekuatann them, they are very difficult to stop. Elephants will attack for several reasons; protect their babies, where they, or only when they are in a bad mood. Male elephant also has a periodic condition known as musth, in which their hormone levels rise so much, then they rampage attacking creature they see, including lions, rhinos, and people. Therefore, zoo and circus elephants are often avoided to maintain the male. 

9.Babi forest 

Has a very sharp canines and mutual wielding every time the beast closes its mouth (like a pair of scissors).They roam in herds of a very large, up to 500 or even 1000 individuals. Just as Cape buffalo, if one group member was attacked or shot, the whole herd will retaliate. The only thing to do when attacked by a swarm is to climb trees as fast as possible, and in South America some cases body parts missing hunter or even bitten to shreds when they are not able to climb quickly. wild predators such as the jaguar and the Cougars are creatures who are smart enough to avoid this herd. If attacked, only forest Babai young or weak to be separated from the others. 

10.Kudanil 

Hippos are the most dangerous animal of all herbivores in Africa, killing more people every year than lions, tigers and crocodiles. 
Animals are territorial, the hippopotamus (especially males) can weigh three tons or more, and have been known as the frequent attacks on the water on water (even a boat and kayak upside down) and on land, he can run very fast even if obese . He has the largest and strongest jaws with the longest canine teeth of any mammal species, and can bite a crocodile dewasa.Bahkan these animals can beat the lion if the lion was too close to their territorial, when the dry season and the lions need a drink .. 

In some cases due to fights kudanil two males in one group, not infrequently they are oppressed and die anak2 

Top 10 Most Venomous Snakes

If you are a long time reader of Listverse you will remember that we have previously had two lists on snakes: 10 lesser known venomous snakes and 10 unusual and amazing snakes. Surprisingly, we have not published a list of the most venomous snakes – and so, today, we fill that void with the following list. This is probably also a good time to point out (which we have done on a previous list) that something is venomous when it injects you with venom, and something is poisonous when it harms you through touch or eating.

10

Rattlesnake

The only snake from the Americas on the list, the Rattlesnake is easily identifiable by the tell tale rattle on the end of its tail. They are actually a part of the Pit Viper family, and are capable of striking at up to 2/3rd their body length. The Eastern Diamondback in considered the most venomous species in North America. Surprisingly, juveniles are considered more dangerous than adults, due to their inability to control the amount of venom injected. Most species of rattlesnakes have hemotoxic venom, destroying tissue, degenerating organs and causing coagulopathy (disrupted blood clotting). Some degree of permanent scarring is very likely in the event of a venomous bite, even with prompt, effective treatment, and can lead to the loss of a limb or death. Difficulty breathing, paralysis, drooling and massive hemorrhaging are also common symptoms. Thus, a rattlesnake bite is always a potentially fatal injury. Untreated rattlesnake bites, especially from larger species, are very often fatal. However, antivenin, when applied in time, reduces the death rate to less than 4%

Death Adder

The appropriately named Death Adder is found in Australia and New Guinea. They actually hunt and kill other snakes, including some on this list, usually via ambush. Death Adders look quite similar to vipers, in that they have triangular shaped heads and short, squat bodies. They typically inject around 40-100mg of venom with an LD of 0.4mg-0.5mg/kg. An untreated Death Adder bite is one of the most dangerous in the world. The venom is a neurotoxin. A bite causes paralysis and can cause death within 6 hours, due to respiratory failure. Symptoms generally peak within 24-48 hours. Antivenin is very successful in treating a bite from a Death Adder, particularly due to the relatively slow progression of symptoms, but before its development, a Death Adder bite had a fatality rate of 50%. With the quickest strike in the world, a Death Adder can go from strike position to striking and back again within 0.13 of a second.

Vipers

Vipers are found throughout most of the world, but arguably the most venomous is the Saw Scaled Viper and the Chain Viper, found primarily in the Middle East and Central Asia, particularly India, China and South East Asia. Vipers are quick tempered and generally nocturnal, often active after rains. They are also very fast. Most of these species have venom that cause symptoms that begin with pain at the site of the bite, immediately followed by swelling of the affected extremity. Bleeding is a common symptom, especially from the gums. There is a drop in blood pressure and the heart rate falls. Blistering occurs at the site of the bite, developing along the affected limb in severe cases. Necrosis is usually superficial and limited to the muscles near the bite, but may be severe in extreme cases. Vomiting and facial swelling occurs in about one-third of all cases. Severe pain may last for 2-4 weeks. Often, local swelling peaks within 48-72 hours, involving the affected limb. Discoloration may occur throughout the swollen area as red blood cells and plasma leak into muscle tissue. Death from septicaemia, respiratory or cardiac failure may occur 1 to 14 days post-bite, or even later.

7

Philippine Cobra

Most species of Cobra would not make this list; however the Philippine Cobra is the exception. Drop for drop, its venom is the most deadly of all the Cobra species, and they are capable of spitting it up to 3 metres. The venom is a neurotoxin which affects cardiac and respiratory function, and can cause neurotoxicity, respiratory paralysis and death in thirty minutes. The bite causes only minimal tissue damage. The neurotoxins interrupt the transmission of nerve signals by binding to the neuro-muscular junctions near the muscles. The symptoms might include headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, collapse and convulsions.

6

Tiger Snake

Found in Australia, the Tiger snake has a very potent neurotoxic venom. Death from a bite can occur within 30 minutes, but usually takes 6-24 hours. Prior to the development of antivenin, the fatality rate from Tiger snakes was 60-70%. Symptoms can include localized pain in the foot and neck region, tingling, numbness and sweating, followed by a fairly rapid onset of breathing difficulties and paralysis. The Tiger snake will generally flee if encountered, but can become aggressive when cornered. It strikes with unerring accuracy.

5

Black Mamba

The feared Black Mamba is found throughout many parts of the African continent. They are known to be highly aggressive, and strike with deadly precision. They are also the fastest land snake in the world, capable of reaching speeds of up to 20km/h. These fearsome snakes can strike up to 12 times in a row. A single bite is capable of killing anywhere from 10-25 adults. The venom is a fast acting neurotoxin. Its bite delivers about 100–120 mg of venom, on average; however, it can deliver up to 400 mg. If the venom reaches a vein, 0.25 mg/kg is sufficient to kill a human in 50% of cases. The initial symptom of the bite is local pain in the bite area, although not as severe as snakes with hemotoxins. The victim then experiences a tingling sensation in the mouth and extremities, double vision, tunnel vision, severe confusion, fever, excessive salivation (including foaming of the mouth and nose) and pronounced ataxia (lack of muscle control). If the victim does not receive medical attention, symptoms rapidly progress to severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, pallor, shock, nephrotoxicity, cardio toxicity and paralysis. Eventually, the victim experiences convulsions, respiratory arrest, coma and then death. Without antivenin, the mortality rate is nearly 100%, among the highest of all venomous snakes. Depending on the nature of the bite, death can result at any time between 15 minutes and 3 hours.

4

Taipan

Another entry from Australia, the venom in a Taipan is strong enough to kill up to 12,000 guinea pigs. The venom clots the victim’s blood, blocking arteries or veins. It is also highly neurotoxic. Before the advent of an antivenin, there are no known survivors of a Taipan bite, and death typically occurs within an hour. Even with successful administration of antivenin, most victims will have an extensive stay in intensive care. It has been likened to the African Black Mamba in morphology, ecology and behavior.

3

Blue Krait

The Malayan or Blue Krait is, by far, the most deadly of this species. Found throughout South East Asia and Indonesia, 50% of bites from the deadly Blue Krait are fatal, even with the administration of antivenin. Kraits hunt and kill other snakes, even cannibalizing other Kraits. They are a nocturnal breed, and are more aggressive under the cover of darkness. However, overall they are quite timid and will often attempt to hide rather than fight. The venom is a neurotoxin, 16 times more potent than that of a Cobra. It quickly induces muscle paralysis by preventing the ability of nerve endings to properly release the chemical that sends the message to the next nerve. This is followed by a period of massive over excitation (cramps, tremors, spasms), which finally tails off to paralysis. Fortunately, bites from Kraits are rare due to their nocturnal nature. Before the development of antivenin, the fatality rate was a whopping 85%. Even if antivenin is administered in time, you are far from assured survival. Death usually occurs within 6-12 hours of a Krait bite. Even if patients make it to a hospital, permanent coma and even brain death from hypoxia may occur, given potentially long transport times to get medical care.

Eastern Brown Snake

Don’t let the innocuous name of this snake fool you, 1/14,000 of an ounce of its venom is enough to kill an adult human. Coming in a variety of species, the Eastern Brown snake is the most venomous. Unfortunately, its preferred habitat is also along the major population centers of Australia. The Brown snake is fast moving, can be aggressive under certain circumstances and has been known to chase aggressors and repeatedly strike at them. Even juveniles can kill a human. The venom contains both neurotoxins and blood coagulants. Fortunately for humans, less than half of bites contain venom and they prefer not to bite if at all possible. They react only to movement, so stand very still if you ever encounter one in the wild. [Image Source]

Fierce Snake or Inland Taipan

While I did say that I would not include multiple sub-species in this list, the incredible Inland Taipan deserves a spot of its own. It has the most toxic venom of any land snake in the world. The maximum yield recorded for one bite is 110mg, enough to kill about 100 humans, or 250,000 mice! With an LD/50 of 0.03mg/kg, it is 10 times as venomous as the Mojave Rattlesnake, and 50 times more than the common Cobra. Fortunately, the Inland Taipan is not particularly aggressive and is rarely encountered by humans in the wild. No fatalities have ever been recorded, though it could potentially kill an adult human within 45 minutes.

Belcher’s Sea Snake

The most venomous snake known in the world, a few milligrams is strong enough to kill 1000 people! Less than 1/4 of bites will contain venom, and they are relatively docile. Fisherman are usually the victims of these bites, as they encounter the species when they pull nets from the ocean. Found throughout waters off South East Asia and Northern Australia.
