The Most Deadly Animals: Mosquitoes. The most deadly Â­animal in the world is the mosquito. It might seem impossible that something so miniscule can kill so many people, but it's true. Mosquito bites result in the deaths of more than 1 million people every year [source: WHO ].
Unfortunately. âTheyâ are mosquitoes. Like other insects, such as hornets, black flies, ticks, gnats and fleas, theyâre part of the ecosystem. Theyâre an important food source for frogs, fish and birds, but annoying to humans and they can spread disease. Insects bite us not to spread disease, but for food or protection.
