The World's Deadliest Animal

What is the most deadliest animal in the world?? is it tiger?? lion? or snake?? each year there's many cases of mortality caused by wild animal but do you know what animal is kills the most??

Here are the top ten and with their method of predation/subtrafuge. Ranked by who kills the most people annually.

10) Posion Dart Frog, clearly not for kissing and one wonders if its habitat has extended into the Marina district in San Francisco (but that is another story)

Wanna see the other World's Deadliest Animal?? Can you guess the 10 deadliest animals on the planet?


9.) Cape Buffalo, also commonly known as the water buffalo. When faced with a predator, cape buffalos charge head on. That's 1,500 pounds of beast topped off with two big, sharp horns. You're lucky if there's only one - the real danger comes when a herd of thousands stampedes in your direction.



8.) Polar Bear, not so cuddly anymore! But one might have guessed this since I bet they get pretty hungry and have few chances at prey--making each kill important and a ruthless competitor.



7.) Elephant, Elephants kill more than 500 people a year worldwide. African elephants generally weigh in around 16,000 pounds. Here is a story of a friend of man/domesticated animal--which when mistreated can turn nasty. I have to say, I am rooting for the elephant on this one. Ever hear the story of how Louis Leaky would go after the poachers in africa?



6.) Australian Saltwater Crocodile, I don't know how they determined this would be the worst preditator after the Louisana type...We used to joke in Savannah about how the crocs would come up from the river and eat unwary poodles.



5.) African Lion, (or lioness to be more exact)



4.) Great White Shark, isn't interesting we have at least four animals/insects/fish/amphibians who are from the Cretaeous on this list?



3.) Australian Box Jellyfish,Also known as the sea wasp, this salad-bowl sized jellyfish can have up to 60 tentacles each 15 feet long. Each tentacle has 5,000 stinging cells and enough toxin to kill 60 humans.



2.) Asian Cobra, While the Asian Cobra doesn't hold the title of most venomous snake, it does the most with what it has. Of the 50,000 deaths by snakebite a year, Asian Cobras are responsible for the largest chunk.



1.) Mosquito, Sort of an unassuming predator, no? But some mosquitoes carry and transfer malaria causing parasites. As a result, these little pests are responsible for the deaths of more than two million people a year.

1. Weaver Bird Nest



Weaver birds build permanent nests in trees and other tall objects. These nests will be large enough to house dozens of families of birds, containing several generations at once.

Their Nests are highly structured to give the birds a sense of who is more comfortable than the conditions outside. Central heat and used equipment room for the night and lay eggs. Outer space is used for shelter during the day.

The Oldest Facebooker Lillian Lowe

The Oldest Facebooker Lillian Lowe - Facebook as the biggest social networking sites really takes a big attention from many people such as this cyber granny. this 103 years old woman from Tenby, Pembrokeshire, south Wales, may be a grandmother and great-grandmother at 103, but she is still young-at-heart and her online adventure on Facebook is proof of that. Well I think she's hardly find her schoolmate on facebook today.

Her grandson Steve is the one responsible with wetting her up with a Facebook account and he’s also the one who lent her his iPad, but she is planning to replace it with a newer version, seeing that she’s also up to date in terms of gadgets, as she admits herself “At the moment I use my grandson’s iPad but I am very hopeful to get one of my own, there are some great new models out at the moment.”

The reason that got her whole cyber adventure started was her wish to keep in touch with her seven grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Lillian thinks Facebook can be useful for other grandparents as well “I can recommend it for any grandparents to keep in touch with their family with ringing all the time.”But although she is very impressed with all the different things one can find on-line, she still considers it a terrible waste of time.

She now has 34 “friends” on her Facebook account but the most active one, by far, is her 10-year-old great grand-daughter.

One can say the young-at-heart grandmother,whom her family call “Supergran”:, has seen pretty much seen it and done it all: She was born in 1907 and can still remember the news about the sinking of the Titanic, by the time the First World War started, she was already in school and she most certainly “was there” when computer industry made its first steps – “Apple 1″ computer was launched in 1976, followed by the “Osborne 1″ in 1981, first version of Windows in 1985 and she’s now not just witnessing but also using the IPad. As she says “I think virtually everything has been invented during my time. What I particularly like now is this Google Earth.”

Her experience may be the reason she finds herself unimpressed with things happening nowadays, “I have seen a few things over the years, so nothing really shocks me these days anyway.”

The Oldest Cat in Britain - Blackie

The Oldest Cat in Britain - Blackie, Well this is the first time i heard about a cat could survive after 24 years old!! While the average age of cats is 12-15 years. Here's the story of Blackie, the oldest cat in brotain.

The leading candidate for Britain’s oldest cat, Blackie is a cat who will turn 24 in January of next year, the equivalent of 118 in human years. Quentin Shaw, 49, is the proud owner of Blackie and he’s had her since forever. He got her and her brother 24 years ago, and named them Tan and Blackie from the spots they each had on their heads – one was brown, the other one black . Unfortunately Tan died at the age of five, after being hit by a car.

Food and care were not the only ingredients that lead to Blackie’s longevity, but also the love of her owners., who believe love and care is definitely one of the main factors that help pets live a long life. Even though she’s no longer able to see in the dark, hunt mice and she hasn’t got stability in her paws, as she keeps falling over when brushed, Blackie hasn’t given up on life. She’s been in and out of the vet clinic a few times, but she’s a real fighter, and always managed to get back to full health.

Blackie is now living with her owner, Mr. Shaw, and his family, fiancee Kim Lanham and children Scarlet and Tom, in Thurnby, Leicestershire. “I think that with animals, when they’re loved, they live longer. She’s part of the family. She’s got a lot of attitude still but she’s amazing with the kids and good natured (…)every time we go to the vet she bounces back. She’s certainly a fighter.” said Miss Lanham.

Blackie’s story has even caught the interest of Daniel Fileds of The Guinness Book Of Records, as there is no current record holder of the title for Britain’s Oldest Cat. Hestia, who died in September at the age of 21 years and 11 months, was the last oldest living cat.

Blakie’s age certainly is impressive, considering the average life expectancy for cats is 16 years.

24 Carat Gold Tattoo in Dubai

24 Carat Gold Tattoo in Dubai, As we know dubai always offers a luxurious stuff to the world like this one you can Forget the henna and flashy jewelry or any other accessory, because the latest accessory trend for the fashion-conscious party-goer in Dubai is a temporary tattoo made of real gold yeah a Real 24 Carat Gold!!.

A new business in Dubai is offering temporary 24-carat gold tattoos as the ideal body adornment for weddings and other special occasions at a modest starting price of $50, an affordable option given rising gold prices.

Precious Skin has two outlets in Dubai - one at the luxury, sail-shaped Burj Al Arab hotel - which will design and apply body tattoos made of 99.9% gold or platinum to add a bit of glitz to your personal style.

"It's a revolution in the body art business, it's the first time we can use 24 carat gold and platinum on skin," said Arnaud Flambeau, managing director of Flambeau Luxury Trading and Precious Skin.

Originally a Japanese concept, Flambeau thought the idea would catch on in the Gulf, where many women have temporary henna tattoos applied for weddings and special occasions.

"We have had a lot of interest so far because it's a new idea and a new product that's between jewelry, makeup and accessories and it's a lot easier to make the decision to get a gold tattoo than buy new jewelry," said Flambeau.

A thin film of gold or platinum is used to make the tattoo which is then applied to the skin and can last for up to a week, he said.

"More elaborate and larger designs can cost up to $5,500, and the idea really is just to have something that is very unique and new," Flambeau said.

"We plan to have a total of 25 branches in Dubai over the coming year and by January we will be in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain."

Branded as the city of gold, Dubai's gold retail sector has faced huge drops in sales as cash strapped consumers struggled to keep demand up with rising prices for the yellow metal.

Spot gold gained 0.3% to $1,407.34 an ounce on Thursday, just off an all-time high of $1,424.10 hit on Tuesday. Well i wonder if this 24 carat gold tattoo could be the next tattoo or body modification trendsetter? I Thought that dubai people only uses gold to wrap their vehicle such as this Golden Audi R8 But now you can use a 24 carat gold as a tattoo on your body!!

Daad Murad Abdul Rahman Father with 88 Children

Daad Murad Abdul Rahman, a 64-year-old man from the United Arab Emirates, is the proud father of 88 children, but doesn’t plan on stopping until he reaches his 100th offspring. Well maybe he will get the new records as the father with the most children in the world in the next few years.

One thing is for sure, if good parenting was judged by the number of children, Daad Murad Abdul Rahman would definitely qualify for the title of world’s greatest dad. He is the father of 50 boys and 38 girls. His eldest son, Tariq, is 39 years old, while his youngest child was born just a few months ago. Over the years Daad has been married 15 times, and has had children with every one of his wives. Twelve of them have divorced him (probably tired of giving birth), but three still remain faithful.

To reach his goal of becoming the father of 100 children, this Arab superdad is planning on marrying once again, to an 18-year-old Indian girl. The Meher (money the groom pays the bride’s father) has already been paid, and the wedding is scheduled to take place in Jaipur. Naturally, the 64-year-old is thrilled about the marriage, and says he’s already applied for an Indian visa.

Believe it or not, Daad Murad Abdul Rahman is seen as a national hero in the UAE, and enjoys many benefits offered by the state. His 127 family members were offered seven free houses to live in, and Rahman himself receives pension from the military, as well as substantial financial aid.

Daad and his family first attracted the attention of international media in 2007, when he had “just” 78 mouths to feed. He’s been really busy, and managed to make 10 more babies in just three years time, so his goal doesn’t seem hard to reach at all.
