Georgia – Snakes
Copperhead, cottonmouth, and coral snakes are Georgia’s deadliest snakes, accounting for the majority of the state’s animal-related fatalities. Notably, the frequency of snake bites in Georgia rose by 40% in 2017, most likely as a result of shorter, warmer winters.
Hawaii – Tiger Sharks
Contrary to popular belief, the deadliest animal in Hawaii is not the great white shark, but the tiger shark. While they are considerably smaller than sharks, they are the primary cause of shark attacks in the Hawaiian islands, especially off the coast of Maui.
