1] The African, or Cape buffalo, picture one, is the most dangerous. It is very aggressive and may charge without provocation. It also likes to lurk behind thick bushes or trees waiting for short-sighted Japanese businessmen to wander into range. It's the biggest killer of humans in Africa.
2] The hippopotamus is runner-up man-killer, especially females with young nearby, like the one in picture two.
3] Although lionesses such as the one in picture three kill far more game than their mates, lions - who are in fact lazy, good-for-nothing sex-machines, kill far fewer humans than the other two animals.
