animals in asia: Most Dangerous Animals in Asia

For those of you who’ve seen the Jungle Book then you’re halfway there on this one. We’ve got snakes, bears and even tigers, but there’s also a few even nastier deadly animals to be found across the vast continent of Asia. Stretching from the deserts of the Middle East to the steamy jungles of South East Asia and reaching northwards to the Arctic Circle, there’s dangerous animals for all tastes.

When dealing with the developing world it’s nearly impossible to get anything approaching reliable statistics on animal attacks on deaths. If there were then we’d probably be writing about mosquitos (yawn!). Instead I’m going to concentrate on the meanest, scariest and most notorious of Asian animals. The one’s on this list are capable of dealing out some of the most unpleasant deaths known.
