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.
Deer is just chilling and minding its own business when some dumb motherfucker comes driving 70 mph into it
I would love this to be the case, I live in Ohio, I love deer they are beautiful and we have a family of them that live in our woods and I love seeing them.
Deer though are the stupidest motherfuckers on the planet.
One time my mom was driving down a country road with me in the passenger seat. A deer came out of the woods, my mom saw it and stopped, the deer looked at the car and froze. Ok so far nothing crazy, deer just doing deer things. Then the deer runs full speed and at the last moment turns and runs into the side of the completely motionless car ripping the side view mirror off and breaking its own neck.
For as much as I can sympathize with the fact that a deer is an animal that evolved for a completely different environment than the constructed one that humans have pushed them into. Growing up around them you realize that they are beautiful majestic dangerous stupid 200 pounds of muscle and ticks and madness ready to run 30 miles an hour in a random direction if you look at them wrong.
I was about to ask if that was the case, because I’ve never heard of one attacking anyone.
The bucks can get a little rambunctious during mating season, but getting charged by a deer isn’t quite in the same league as, say, a moose.
Me, I’m more taking exception to the copperhead zone, there. You are exceedingly unlikely to die if you’re bitten by a copperhead. These are the most weaksauce of all vipers and the least dangerous venomous snake found in North America. I think you’ll have a much more miserable time of it if you happen to get tagged by a timber rattlesnake, which encompasses all of the copperhead’s range as depicted by that map and also continues quite a bit further, as far north as New York and as far west as eastern Oklahoma and Texas.
Furthermore, I think the chances of being eaten by a Great White in Delaware or Maryland are pretty overblown. The Maryland number one should probably also be the timber rattler or possibly black bears, especially in the western portion, and Washington DC drivers in the east. Similar with Delaware, where the most aggressive wildlife are probably the Juggalos.
Maryland should be a brown recluse, or one of their dozens of excitingly terrifying land critters.
Copperhead probably edges it out because they’re more common
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.
Turns out it’s Man.
There has only ever been one fatal mountain lion attack in the entire history of Utah
Mountain lions kill almost nobody.
Pretty sure it should be “human” in each of these states.
Black bears for MN? Not Timberwolf? Black bears run from you if given the chance.
There has only been one fatal wolf attack in the US in recorded history. Any attacks by wolves are extremely rare, as most are quite way of people. I’d assume that’s why they aren’t included.
Beauty and the Beast (1991) contains TWO wolf attack scenes. Are you telling me that Disney didn’t research nature correctly?
To be fair, Beauty and the Beast was set in France.
Sorry for being a pedantic shit, because you made me giggle.
