The White Tailed Deer in the yellow states is not from the animal directly attacking people, it's from the dumb motherfucker stepping out into the road way and standing there as you're driving 70 mph on the freeway.

Pretty sure it should be "human" in each of these states.

There has only ever been one fatal mountain lion attack in the entire history of Utah

I could NOT figure out why Texas and Oklahoma had just a tiger shark problem and then I thought it must just be pet tigersharks in private enclosures... then I though, "ah its just a shit post"... And then I realized it was a badly color differentiated key.

Mountain lions kill almost nobody.

Thought I read "feral hag". The south is friggen crazy!

Illinoisian here

I used to enjoy hiking a lot when I was younger. I'd just go wherever. Private property. Sometimes reservations or parks but just wherever.

And I would occasionally come across some deer. Majestic animals. Also the bucks are huge.

I mean. I don't think people realize how big these animals are. Pure muscle.

They aren't as big as a horse but not that much smaller. Like a little smaller than caribou.

I was always scared of the bucks.

In the winter (mating season and hunting season), they do get pretty territorial. And I had heard of urban legend stories that they would attack women on their period. Idk if that's true but if one of them took a run at you, yeah they would fuck you up. Impale you. Stomp you.

They got cute faces but just avoid them. Especially in the winter.

It's like our version of a smaller moose.

Idk if this statistics includes attacks only or car accidents.

They certainly cause a lot of fatal car accidents in the rural areas too.

In Georgia you're more likely to be killed by a rattle snake than by an alligator.

Turns out it's Man.

FL has tons of things that will kill you besides gators, even if you take away the most dangerous one "Florida man". Gators aren't as much of a problem as rattlesnakes or water moccasins in my experience. Or the black/brown recluse spiders, those fuckers are everywhere.

Do a lot of people die from alligators?

As a florida man I guess the alligators are just extra spicy because we have MOST of these here.

Hogs are scary AF!

That is some terrible color coding.

Pigs can pretty much murder you in any US state. 👮

We definitely got great white sharks on the west coast

Black bears for MN? Not Timberwolf? Black bears run from you if given the chance.

White tailed deer: "Hey kid, you want a cigarette? No? That's OK. Say, you mind if I just sit here next to you and smoke, then?"

Those cotton mouths in Louisiana have got to be more dangerous than alligators.

MD here, very few sharks in Cumberland, great, white or otherwise.

They're not kidding about the hogs. They're not just road hazards, they will fuck you up in person and they're tough as fuck. They're invasive, and in Texas you can pay to hunt them from a helicopter.

I'm ok with this. We need more mountain lions. Hopefully she's feeding cubs.

Alligators don’t kills that many people.

I'm pretty sure Rhode Island should also be colored blue
