25 Most Dangerous Animals in the World

3. Saltwater Crocodile

Dangerous Because of: Bite force of 3,700 PSI

The saltwater crocodile underlined its fearsome reputation by being the only species to exhibit agitated tail twitching followed by lunging head strikes on its opponents. The Saltwater Crocodile can grow up to 23 feet in length, weigh more than a ton, and its species is known to kill hundreds each year. Florida’s alligators may be scary, but not as much as the short-tempered, easily provoked, and aggressive toward anything that crosses its path saltwater crocodile. These ferocious killers are especially dangerous as they’re remarkable swimmers in both salt and fresh water and can strike quickly with a bite delivering 3,700 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure.
