Take a guess: What creature on Earth is the most deadly to humans? | National Geographic

In this animation we created, we visualize the world’s deadliest animals — not by size or strength, but by the number of human lives they claim each year. Each grave-like object shown in the video represents a real number: an actual casualty tied to each animal. From the deceptively small mosquito to the unexpectedly dangerous freshwater snail, the figures are based on verified data, transformed into a powerful visual representation. | The Brain Maze
