Your guide to Earth’s top 30 deadliest animals
22. Horses
While horse girls may be crazy for horses, they probably aren’t thinking about the dangers they pose to people. Horses kill about 20 people a year in the US, several a year in Australia, and probably more worldwide. Surprisingly, horses kill more people in Australia than the country’s superbly venomous snakes and spiders.

Many of these deaths are from people falling off the horses, so try not to fall off when riding them (it’s just that easy!). Occasionally, horses do attack people, but it’s pretty uncommon. There’s also hundreds of race horses dying at the tracks each year because they’ve been pushed too far, so maybe throwing a rider off is just a little payback.
