2. Africanized Honey Bee
Africanized honey bees, also known as killer bees, were originally created by cross breeding African bees with European bees in an effort to produce more honey. They were kept in quarantine until 26 swarms of them escaped in 1957. This caused them to spread out from Europe and into America. The extent of the location of these bees increases year over year.
These bees are known for their defensive behavior and tendency to swarm in excessively large numbers. They are much more aggressive than regular bees and chase perceived threats for a much longer distance.
3. Deathstalker Scorpion

This is not the case with old, sick or young people, whose risk of dying is much greater, even if antivenin is used as treatment. This type of scorpion is the 3rd most venomous worldwide and is responsible for 75% of deaths caused by scorpion stings each year.
4. Boomslang
The boomslang is a deadly snake that resides south of the Sahara desert in Africa. These snakes normally only bite when they feel threatened.
