Human kills: 57,000 per year

Almost every human on the planet is afraid of snakes, and there is a good reason for that. Every year, around 57 thousand people die from a venomous snake bite. Snakes can be found everywhere on the planet, except Antarctica. Usually, snakes get away from people, but if you accidentally step on it, or if it feels threatened by you, it will bite you. There are around 3000 snake species, and 450 of them are lethal to humans. Having in mind that there are so many different venomous species of snakes, and that their habitat is so widely spread, it is no wonder that so many deaths occur.
