Ranking 10 Large Predators By Their Fatality Rate When Targeting Humans

Large predator attacks on humans are rare yet terrifying, but not all predators attack humans for the same reasons. Some predators attack humans because they see us as a threat, some attack out of curiosity or because they feel cornered, and in some very rare cases predators attack humans because they see us as potential prey. The reason behind an attack can affect how vicious the attack is, and it also affects the chance of the attack being fatal. In today's video I'll be taking a look at the stats behind large predator attacks on humans, and I'll be ranking some of the world's deadliest predators based on their fatality rate when attacking humans. There are often many strange factors that can affect these statistics, and I'm sure the first entry will surprise some people.
