Oh my gosh, Nick! It's over!

The OP starts out with a blank list, and I fill it in as members guess correctly. Post #2 is a build up of incorrect answers.

Take it from me, Nick, ya gotta get up pretty early on Monday morning for this one. I slept in until 9:00am EST and there were only three left by then!

I got one that beats all the animals on here! The Ferdelance! Its a snake. When I lived in Panama the locals called them "2 Steppers" meaning one bite you get 2 steps and your dead. Which is kind of true. One bite and without IMMEDIATE medical attention your a gonner. My older brother saved my life from one. I was 6 years old and he was 11. We were walking down a trail through the jungle and he suddenly told me to stop. Right in front of me was a Ferdelance. If I had moved it would of bit me. But my brother cut its head off with his machete. The life of a military kid

Ahh, but the Fierce Snake is the world's deadliest snake. Not sure about deadliest animal, but it would be getting close.

This must be if not including Pit Bulls and Rottweilers as canines, which is accurate IMO, because I think they are in the "spawned from hell" genus.

And before anyone says it's the owners, not the dogs, I'm not seeing too many basset-hounds in the news for sinking their teeth into small children. :gah

I didn't know hippos killed crocs? But I guess they could, just didn't know.

That's strong argument for evolution because it explains why crocodiles are so short. They must have adapted so they could better hide from charging hippos, right?
