Why do some countries have super deadly animals while others dont?
In: Biology
Deadly animals live in all habitats. Before humans were around, there were deadly animals virtually everywhere in the world, save for perhaps a handful of deserted islands.
As humanity grew and spread, and learned how to defend themselves, animals also learned to keep away from human populations. For this reason the countries with large predator populations are generally the ones with large, mostly uninhabited spaces. The countries with high population density and few places more than a few miles from human settlement are generally the ones with no pllarge predators anymore.
One other factor to consider – especially in Europe, as society grew more advanced and more organised, there was in the last few centuries a growing trend of hunting and culling those large predators. That’s another major reason why Europe has very few dangerous animals in the wild.
