5. Tigers
“Tigers are recorded to have killed more people than any other big cat, and tigers have been responsible for more human deaths through direct attack than any other wild mammal. About 1,000 people were reportedly killed each year in India during the early 1900s, with one individual tiger killing 430 people in India.” (Source: Wikipedia)
The deadliest man-eating tigers on earth are found in the Sundarbans (“beautiful forest”) of Bangladesh. “Each year more people are killed by the tigers in the Sundarbans than in any other place where tigers are found,” reports PBS.org, “an average 50 people and several tigers are killed each year by this gruesome conflict. Some years as many 170 people are killed by tigers.”
