    "In Africa, now, dont every creature there have fur except humans?"

    Well, no. Only the mammals do, and not even all of them. Elephants, for example, have very sparse hair.

    "Obviously blowing every lame asst answer I got from earlier question out of the water."

    Again, no. If you read my answer (though I may not have explained it very well), I suggested that people started using animal pelts to keep warm when it was really cold. Those with less hair had the advantage of being able to take them of and stay cool when it was warm. This would have been a very considerable evolutionary benefit when hunting on a hot day.

    Viruses are technically now not viewed alive however bacteria are they usually simply kill extra men and women than all different creatures mixed. Mosqitos would must be 2nd on the record because of the wide number of diseases they bring. Malaria, Encephilitus and many others. With regards to gigantic animals historically with mammels it can be been the rat. In the course of the plague the rat served as a flea transport which carried the bubonic plague. Rats have also contributed a lot to many famines. If you mean currently puppies are simply probably the most usual killer among mammels. Endure assaults are rare. Lions, tigers, Elephants, bulls and so forth kill a dozen to might be 100 every 12 months each and every. Puppies kill at the least 300 a year, in most cases more. Many breeds are used in struggle nonetheless as well as more commonly used by police and as protection. Wild packs of dogs will attack human. Wild species such will as good. Lions nonetheless kill at a small quantity of men and women every year. Historically dogs had been for decades used as warfare animals though Elephants had been additionally traditionally used as conflict animals. Horses nonetheless beat them each. Throwing their rider or kicking persons have killed enormous quantities of thousands over the final 1,000 years but any person dieing from a horse is rare in many of the world today. As for fish it's certainly the jelly fish or stone fish. Shark attacks get plenty of awareness but jelly fish and stone fish are more normal attacks. With reptiles it'd quite simply be the Mamba or a small green snake in SE Asia. Can't recollect it can be title off hand. Hundreds and hundreds die each yr of snake bites. As a rule in Africa and Asia though.
