Sudden Death - Which animals do not kill lots of humans?

Some of these animals are deadly, others are not. If you choose a deadly animal, you die a sudden death :-)
Some of these animals can kill, but are not on the list of the most deadly animals, eg you *could* be killed by a ray (Steve Irwin-Style), but it's not a common cause of death.
Feel free to google them after you've taken the quiz - they're really interesting!

I don't think dogs are dangerous. Almost every dog in the world gets rabies shots, so they rarely get it. Even if they do, rabies can't kill you. Also, dogs kill smaller animals when they get rabies.

Rabies kills nearly 100% of people who don't get the proper treatment before symptoms present. It still kills 60,000 people worldwide annually, the majority of whom are in Asia or Africa. Currently, there are ~30 well-documented people globally who have survived it, but all have lifelong profound neurological damage.

There is a pre-exposure vaccine for humans, and also PEP for after exposure may have occurred (but only works before symptoms present).

95% of these 60,000 human rabies cases follow a dog bite (the offending dog often gets put down). This shows that "almost every dog" doesn't necessarily get vaccinated in these regions, particularly as some offending animals are strays.

Yes, a dog can kill smaller animals when it has rabies. However, you are incorrect to state that rabies is not dangerous, that it can't kill you, and that the vast majority of dogs get vaccinated preventatively.
