Not even close, Scorpions, Dogs and Snakes are deadlier, and I'm relatively sure Mosquito's count as land animals as well.

Freshwater snail being in the top 10 is not something I expected

I think that is the invincible snail that chases you forever but if it touches you you die....but in return you are immortal until you get touched.

It was never a hypothetical, those people asking that were asking the internet for help. RIP

Why friend shaped then?

It might be per unit population.

I couldn't find estimates for snakes and scorpions and completely ignored the invertebrates here, but from those options, Tigers kill the most humans yearly per wild individual.

There are about 5500 Tigers in the wild killing 50 humans yearly, while 115000 Hippos kill 500 humans yearly.

So Tigers kill 9 humans per thousand individuals, Hippos kill 4, next would be Lions with 2.5 .

Maybe they are the more deadly than Tigers on a per species basis since there are only 2 species of Hippo while 6 living species of Tigers exist... but then the other kill statistics would get a lot more precise as well. And I wont even try to analyze how often humans interact with specific animal groups.

Just like everyone always says Dog man’s worst enemy.
