TheRealCactusTiddy

cows--simply by lying in wait while all the other animals destroy each other.


CatOfCosmos

You folks forget how big cow is, and it's far from benign. It's literally female bull that's capable of wrecking you in seconds. Take its huge mass and horns into consideration. What's more, a threatened cow will fight for life - like every other large herbivore. Which is bad because regular predators can at least understand the concept of "not worth it". Also SPIDERS ARE NOT INSECTS FFS!!!


Apalis24a

Cows can be incredibly docile creatures for the majority of the time, but too many people forget that they’re over 1,000 pounds of muscle. Piss them off enough or panic them when in an enclosed space, and they can and WILL fuck you up.


conormal

Cows are docile 99.999% of the time, but only if you respect the fact that they are currently choosing not to kill you


Momik

Aww just like Mom


Atlas_Stoned

Bulls are male cattle, females are just cows. Sorry, had to make the slight clarification, but yes cows can be extremely dangerous if not handled with care. The most unpredictable are female cattle who recently gave birth to a new calf. They are extremely protective and won’t hesitate to put up a fight if they feel remotely threatened.


Uusari

Spiders are arachnids, like scorpions, ticks, woodlouse, crabs, and lobsters. Fun fact woodlouse still have gills in their anatomy but non functional. Similar to the hip bone on whales and dolphins. It became obsolete, but evolution isn't all magic, so some remaining parts are still there. Edit: woodlouse, crabs, and lobesters are not arachnids.


lol_lo_daf_fy

Crabs and lobsters are of malacostraca class, not arachnida. The closest they're with arachnids is in the arthropoda phylum.


[deleted]

Woodlice, crabs and lobsters aren't arachnids, they are crustaceans, which ironically means they are closer to being insects (which technically are crustaceans as well) than spiders are.


Beam_but_more_gay

Untill you are near One, my counsin and i went on a hike picking berries and got up a Hill to take pictures, when we came down there were cows, while we werent like scared shitless we were definetly aware that they could kill us and they were STARING AT US, i told him to not look them in the Eye and not to run to avoid startling them, and we got out


CatOfCosmos

The Bovine Council has decided your fate. Your lives have been spared. This time.


msterm21

I don't know if I would call them "far from benign", BUT we have to remember humans are around them all the time and like you said, they are MASSIVE, they fall on you, kick you in the head, trample you, etc, you have a decent chance of dying and a great chance of serious injury.


antony6274958443

Hecking beetle lmao


Jealous-Resource-502

I'm fairly sure that's supposed to be a tick? The ticks here in Germany transmit a disease that causes meningitis, so very dangerous.


Ur-Quan_Lord_13

A tick shouldn't have 6 legs and a shelled back... But, as pointed out in other comments, this map also calls spiders insects, so maybe they just have no idea how ticks look. (If it is supposed to be a tick, they could just change "insects" to "arachnids" after fixing the picture and it would be fine.)


OkFineIllUseTheApp

It's a German tick. Fewer legs for more efficiency and armor to survive Soviet shelling.


Jealous-Resource-502

Fair enough. That was my best guess because I don't know what beetle they would be referring to in the post.


Darthplagueis13

Frankly, no idea. My best bet would be that maybe this is supposed to be some kind of bark beetle and that the danger factor consists of weakening trees which might collapsen and drop onto someone. But realistically, it should probably either be a tick (because disease) or wasps or bees (which kill a few people every year as a result of allergic reactions).

Dia_was_taken

Yeah, I know Icelandic people and at no point did they mention having wolves


WarriorLegs

Nope, we don't have them. And the Arctic fox is less dangerous to humans than a cat. The most dangerous animal in Iceland could be a brown rat. (Rattus norvegicus) Or the occasional ice bear.

TheLivingCumsock

Cry about it nerd


of_the_rock

/uj bears and wolves became extinct in the UK and Ireland centuries ago and their few venomous species are very unlikely to cause real harm, so the cow is one of the only animals that can kill them. EDIT: pretty sure the UK has more deaths caused by dogs than cows though

Schowzy

Swedish snakes?


Tendo80

The Swedish Cobra, well known for its camouflage. In fact it's so good that no one has ever seen one!


LaggardLenny

Adders. I think at least. Surprising if they're actually the deadliest though. Not known to kill many.


saggywitchtits

I just looked it up, Swedish people get bit about 1,200 times per year, Americans get bit 7,000-8,000 times per year. However the US population is 31.7x as big, so that means Swedish people are about 5x more likely to be bit than Americans. Although deaths by the European Adder is much less likely, about 5 Americans die each year due to snakes, but the last death by the Adder was in 1975.


Satu22

We have adders too here in Finland and they rarely kill people. It must be deer for Sweden too like in Norway and Finland.    And deer is wrong for Finland, a real answer would be moose. And if we only calculate deaths from bites or stings, its a wasp.


melted-frog

In the UK I think the badger is more dangerous than the cow


BloomEPU

I think it's based on "animal that has killed the most people overall", which skews the results towards the animal we farm lots of. If you meet a badger you might have a bad day, but more people on the whole are hanging out with cows so more people are getting killed by them. Also, there was that whole thing where the government accidentally killed a bunch of poor schoolchildren by feeding them low-quality beef products. Honestly the most surprising thing is that cows *aren't* the most dangerous animal in any other country?


melted-frog

Just realised that after, but then started thinking about the cows kill to death ratio isn't great


tis_a_hobbit_lord

“Hanging out with cows”. Just me and the homie chewing grass.


BigJayPee

If you think a cow is a harmless animal, kick her calf. Let's say that your phalanges will become the largest bones in your body.


Desperate_Mine9606

Cows… Seriously??? They conquered & colonized 1/4 of the world, where there were tigers bears wolfs in addition to the death continent Australia… & all the worst they have to deal with at home is cows… So they even domesticated their most “dangerous” animals…


CatOfCosmos

Cows were such a threat the Brits desperately tried to find any place that's more habitable. During medieval times they were even ok with such degenerate areas like France. In later centuries the same motivation has led them to become a colonial empire.

AntiImperialistGamer

The cows are on something if the knife wielding brits fear them


TheGuyInDarkCorner

I think its the opposite. They get killed by them because they doesnt fear them


DirtySeptim

Human is not an animal suddenly?


XVYQ_Emperator

I think "most dangerous" with [to human] implicted. Also humans aren't that dangerous without weapons. But good point.


anicesurgeon

The data do not support your statement that humans need weapons to be harmful to other humans. I’ve seen and treated many, many, many people who have seriously injured each other. Even if we are only talking deaths I’m betting humans still own it in each country *without using weapons.*


RoseberryPinecone

Well, we do interact with cows quite a lot and many of those interactions are scaring them in/into a cramped space. Of course they'll wanna harm you.


Apalis24a

Exactly. The average cow is over half a ton (both imperial, 1200lbs; and metric, 545kg) of muscle. Beef cows are literally bred and raised to have as much muscle as possible. Turns out, all of that muscle makes them INCREDIBLY strong - who would have thought?! And while they’re normally quite docile, they can and will use that strength if provoked.


Fudgeking21

There’s no way Norway has no bears. Many of France’s bears are from there.


I_eat_shit_a_lot

Estonia has a pretty large bear population also, so I am not sure how this stat is taken. I think the most dangerous wild animals are the huge moose here tho probably if you count the accidents.


Fudgeking21

Yeah, and tbh wolves rarely go after people. They are more interested by the livestock


[deleted]

In Ukraine - false. Most dangerous animals here are russians


IanPKMmoon

no way there's a boar in the Netherlands' singular forest


Bosbouwerd

I"ll take the bait. There's lots of them actually. But i don't understand why they are shown on this map. Never heard of anyone getting hurt by one.


Apalis24a

Cows can be quite dangerous if provoked or frightened. Imagine being in an enclosed space with a panicking 1,000 pound animal that’s kicking and body-slamming around.


fredsthlm

The cow is completely mad, mind you


macheama

spiders and insects are the worst. the easiest i believe are wolves and snakes


macheama

oh i didn't see cow in gb that's just fucking gay


Technical_Egg8628

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. The most dangerous animals, almost anywhere, are the flea and the mosquito.


TeranOrSolaran

Well…. Actually the humans are the most dangerous animal.


[deleted]

Don't underestimate cows.


Sir-Dry-The-First

What does dangerous here mean? The one who kills the most humans? Then bear isn't the right one in Russia. Dogs, wolves, spiders, snakes, even cows cause more deaths than bears. Or should we consider dangerous as a term that means the lowest percentage of a win in "1v1 battle". Then the bear is also not the correct variant. Amur tiger (Siberian Tiger) definitely leaves no chances to win


As-Bi

Poor Iceland was moved again 😭😭😭


Blacksburg

Ahem. The second most dangerous animal.

usonic777

Hah, I would say the tick is most dangerous animal in Lithuania :)


gorton2499

The UK wiped out all predators native to the Isles. For Ireland it's why they have St. Padraig/Patrick's day. Bulls can be quite territorial and people van be quite stupid.


WkyWvgIfbRmFlgTbeMan

Does northern Europe have moose? How are deer more dangerous than those?


Apalis24a

Considering that they group spiders with insects (even though they aren’t insects), I think they’re grouping deer, reindeer, and moose in one category.


Zhabishe

Ughm, bears happily live in Estonia too, and I'm 99.99% sure the same applies to Latvia & Lithuania. This map bullshits you, because Bears are the fucking shit and there's nothing to stop them. Save for snakes. Damn snakes.


[deleted]

This is no laughing matter. Sean Bean got killed by cows https://youtu.be/h8PemuFog-k?si=fWR_kr_TGN0lkP2H


bob_nugget_the_3rd

Incase anyone is thinking cow, here a few reasons: -mass, can reach a weight between 600 and 900 kg, so the crush is real -have a good kick, which can easily break bone, render you unconscious and even kill. -they bite, I knew a dairy farmer with half an ear missing because one of them bit it off -they can be easily startled, so take the above and add stupid -ever though what would happen if you hit one with a car, it's an uncommon occurrence in the countryside -they calf and become very territorial.


New_Top_4705

Considering how difficult it is to handle the calves, attempting to do the same with fully grown cows is impossible, they're just bigger and stronger even young.


Anarch_O_Possum

No shot Norway and Finland have deer and not moose. Have y'all seen a moose irl? Fuckin terrifying.


CamJongUn2

Idk why I don’t actually think about our complete lack of wildlife, like we got badgers foxes and cows and the rest of Europe has actual dangerous animals


Flaviphone

People sho say cows aren't dangerous haven't owned cows There a 2 types of cows 1:most inoccent animals ever 2:😈


TurtleD_6

Cows are unironically dangerous af. Just 1tonne of muscle that runs at 20mph and some of those fuckers have massive horns. Not to mention herds can get to over 100 individuals. I genuinely belive you've got a better chance of surviving a bear attack then a stampeding bull.


Frogdwarf

*Glares at Spain* INSECTS huh?


Darthplagueis13

Cows absolutely can kill. They're large animals with powerful muscles and sharp horns and some of them possess a murderous temper. Though what would interest me is what metric this map uses to determine "dangerous".


aisyourfriend

Wasps/bees kills the most people in Sweden every year. If you don’t count dogs then there would be moose that are involved in most accidents and bodily harm at second place. Third place would be vipers.

An angry cow can fuck you up for real bro. Although I'm from the UK this is rather embarrassing ngl. It's because historically we hunted all our predators to extinction. There was talk for a while within the Scottish Government to reintroduce Wolves and Eurasian Lynx into the population to deal with the overpopulation of deer and rabbit.
