RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

7/24/2026

FUN AND GAMES

 Okay, test yourself.  Try to guess which creatures cause more human deaths than any other.  I've listed 21 killers in alphabetical order.  Your mission, should you accept, is to put them in the proper order from those that kill the most to least.  Good Luck!

1.  Bears.
2.  Bees, wasps and hornets
3.  Big cats (lions, tigers, etc.)
4.  Crocodiles
5.  Dogs
6.  Elephants
7.  Jellyfish
8.  Freshwater snails
9.  Gray wolves
10.Hippopotamuses

Hint (because you'd never guess):  Freshwater snails kill more people than all but one on this list so far.  Now you should know that some kill by the diseases they spread. 

11.  Humans
12.  Kissing bugs (chigas)
13.  Mosquitoes
14.  Round worms
15.  Sandflies
16.  Scorpians
17.  Sharks
18.  Spiders
19.  Snakes
20.  Tapeworms
21.  Tsetse Flies

If the task is too daunting, at least guess the top five.  Answer comes next week.
