26. Bears

Despite our teddification of bears, in which we turned them into a display of love between high schoolers at a carnival or family members at a hospital, they are still frightening wild animals. Every year, about 12 people die from being mauled by a bear. This includes bears around the world, from the brown bears of North America to the sloth bears of India.

Sloth bears, despite eating mostly insects and fruits, are possibly the most aggressive bear. It’s probably because they have to fend off tigers, who sometimes try to eat them. Bears most often kill people when bears and humans accidentally encounter each other, which is especially dangerous if the bear has cubs.
