Jedes Jahr werden 1,5 Millionen Menschen durch Tiere getötet. Fast eine Million durch andere Tiere und mehr als eine halbe Million durch direkte Konflikte untereinander.
Fast alle Todesfälle durch andere Tiere werden durch nur zwei Arten verursacht: Mücken und Schlangen.

It feels a little unfair to the mosquitoes to only count intentional human killings. After all, the mosquitoes don’t intend to kill humans either, it is just a side effect of the diseases they can carry. It seems to me all the human deaths caused by humans infecting each other with diseases should also count for the „humans“ stat.
Snakes are just assholes though.
Dogs killing 40k annually gives me real pause. That’s crazy.
Where are the cows???? I heard many times cows kill more humans than sharks 😂
Hippopotami.
My day is ruined.
Considering in 2023, 50k people died to suicide in the US alone, a ridiculous amount of effort must have went into this project not to make humans the number one leader in deaths. I salute you, hardworking data spinners! 🫡
i thought snakes would be way lower
Flies go underrepresented imo
dogs being high is crazy, do hyenas or like wild dogs in australia or something go really hard or does it get downplayed a lot just how dangerous dogs can be with children in particular?
I wish you hadn’t changed from being a volume based display to a bar graph display of the data. It should be consistent.
Ha, this is so silly. Just read the documentation for gray wolves.
does it also include deaths by dogs because of rabies? because it would be unfair to not include them
I’ll be great to have the opposite graph: How many animals are killed by humans each year?
The real interesting information would be peer interaction or incident. I rarely come across a bear, but when I do I’m certainly more scared than when I see a mosquito.
We are only second, have to push it harder.
This seems like a made-up chart with maybe directionally correct data but not that accurate? The data is all over the place. Dogs kill 40k people a year? What? According to cats? Deer are missing (200+ deer-related deaths a year in vehicle accidents). Cows are missing. Should dragons be included?
Downvote.
great chart? how did you make this?
