25. Spiders

While spiders are probably one of the scariest animals on earth, they aren’t even close to the deadliest. It’s true that there’s potentially lethal spiders (the worst of which live in Australia) but they don’t actually kill a lot of people. In the US, about seven people die each year from the bites of either black widows or brown recluses.

Since antivenom was invented for the funnel-web and redback spiders, Australians really aren’t dying from their bites either. In 2016, the first Australian in 37 years died of a spider bite. Actually, many of the bites from these venomous pests aren’t severe enough to kill a person. However, plenty of people still are hospitalized because of them.
