Humans Over 300 Times More Dangerous Than Sharks

Jul 3 2023

We’ve all sort of known how dangerous humans are in terms of impact when compared even to the largest predators on the planet, including great whites.

However, scientists officially placed a number of the danger scale we pose to the creatures we share Earth with. According to research published in Communications Biology and later reported by BBC, humans are hundreds of times more dangerous to all other animals around them.

Analysing data on almost 50,000 different wild animals – from birds, reptiles, fish, mammals and amphibians – it was found that humans use or trade 14,663 species and are driving 39% of these fauna to extinction.

14,663 species means a third of all vertebrates (animals with a backbone and the aforementioned groups), making us up to 300 times more dangerous than lions, tigers and sharks.
