Really? Check your definition: "Predator- an animal that naturally preys on others"

What is the deadliest predator to humans? Put forth your best guess. If you must look up the answer, please don't post it. That takes all the fun out of it. Well at least for me anyway.
I'll post the correct answer Friday night.
Until then be safe and go fishing 🎣

Yep. Between yellow fever and malaria t b at they carry, they ve probably killed more people than our wars.
All very true; but may I ask the question...Does the mosquito qualify as a "predator?"

that would be my guess not sure a mosquito is a predator just spreads diseases so maybe viruses would be the predaror
I previously questioned the "predator" angle.
Now having looked it up...
"noun
Zoology. any organism that exists by preying upon other organisms."
Against my initial instinct, I now think a mosquito qualifies.

Going with other humans. Mosquitos aren't the killers. Diseases they spred do it.

Poisonous Snakes are not predators to humans. They'll kill ya, for sure, that's not predation, unless they eat you. But, Anacondas, Boas, & Pythons can be. They are true predators, that once sizable enough, will ingest people. Whole. Yow ! My guess for the original question is 🐜 ants.

Ants.. or maybe big cats or rats, but I'm goin' with the ants.
BTW Cmdr. B... It's lotsa fun for me as well. Way better than the Attic stuff, but that's fun too. Keep up the good work.

Mosquitoes cause malaria I have worked with a lot of guys that were in Vietnam and most of them that I've met suffered from malaria, but as far as predators go I'd have to say humans as well.
