Without a doubt rattlesnakes. My buddy got bit by one on the thumb, and it was a shitshow. Only the biggest cities carry more than one vial of antivenom, because it degrades so quickly and is really expensive (each dose costs $18k). Excruciating pain for weeks and they wouldn't release him from the icu for 3 days. His thumb was fricked up and basically a swollen bruised mess for months. Whole ordeal costs over $100k, but luckily insurance covered most of it. DON'T get bit by a rattler, it's bad news.
Man I've been within spitting distance of rattling hissing rattle snakes like dozens of times and very few have ever tried to bite me. They're kinda pussies like Blackbears from my experience, but that might just be the specific species in my area of the desert Rockies.
I was once bitten on the leg far from civilization with no emergency radio or anything and rested it off in my tent. It was miserable, but not the most excruciating thing I've ever been through. Just fever, shaking sweating, pain, heart palpitations, nausea for about a day, then I was able to walk home. Humans have hurt me worse for less of a good reason.
My personal most dangerous was when I was walking around a blind corner along a mountain game path and a moose happened to also be walking around the same corner the opposite direction. So In a second there was this gigantic frightened moose about 4 feet away from my face. We both just jumped startled and then I scrambled off the trail and let it pass. Glad that it wasn't a season or situation where the meese would be high adrenaline.

Meece are more dangerous than black bears but you still get clowns trying to stroke them because they have a heckin' connection to nature and you JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
It’s hard to get statistics on this, because most attacks don’t happen in any kind of wilderness. It’s usually dogs, which are found around people.
Are we talking severity, likelihood, or what? Because bees can kill some unfortunate people with a few stings, and there’s like a billion bees in the US. There are also plenty of sharks in the shallow waters of the Gulf Coast, and lots of swimmers. I’ve seen a few, and one time I saw what was either a huge barracuda or a piece of drift wood like two feet away (I ran instead of staying to investigate).
The South has alligators, and when I was young and stupid I tangled with them on three occasions. Twice because they needed to be removed and once because it was funny. They were small but the smaller ones have more energy.
Supposedly feral hogs are dangerous too. I’ve run into pigs dozens of times and they always just run away, sometimes streaking like I was out to get ’em. I don’t believe the “sow with piglets” thing either, as I’ve seen sows trample their children to escape. But they’re pretty big and could definitely do some damage.
There are 5 species of venomous snakes in my state (technically 7 but 2 don’t count). The only ones you’ll generally see are water moccasins/cotton mouths, which are everywhere. Copperheads are everywhere as well, but they’re very tame (I’ve stepped on one and he just slithered away) and their venom is very mild. I mean, it’ll probably frick you up but not as bad as a rattle snake or coral snake.
I’ve heard that there are a lot of deer attacks but that must just be a short seasonal thing. They always run away. Plus hunters go looking for them, so that probably doesn’t help.
Wild hogs will frick you up anon, those things are the Soviet red army of wildlife. Massive numbers, don’t care for their own safety, and quite moronic. Their cutters can get long and sharp and they’re at perfect kneecapping level. Hogs aren’t nearly on the same level as grizzly, moose, cougar, etc but in the eastern USA I think that’s probably your biggest concern.
>moronic
They’re the smartest wild animal in the US, outside of marine life. They’re supposedly smarter than dogs.
I’ve heard that they can learn the days of the week, and avoid popular trails on the weekends when people are more likely to be around. My own confirmation bias has confined it.
>hog gets wounded >sounder attacks whatever is nearby
Pretty standard.
Did you guys know that sounders are almost exclusively female? Males are only found within the group when they’re adolescents or when breeding. Pigs have a heat cycle like dogs rather than a breeding season like deer. The sounder is led by a matriarch, who isn’t always the biggest, or the oldest, or the strongest. Some researchers think they might be chosen by intelligence, but no one really knows. Plus, how would the dumber pigs know the leader is intelligent? Sounds like hog wash to me. The males get run out of the group (which is called a sounder, but you knew that, or figured it out by now) when they reach adulthood, and are generally solo, but will team up with other males, forming friendships and small groups of their own. Of course these are wild animals so competition for food and territory may come into play between males, so the male sounders are often much smaller.
This has been Pig Chat. Tune in next week when we discuss false charges and wallowing habits.
You know those special names for groups of different animals are fake, right? Like it started as an ironic circlejerk and then tryhards went and took it seriously for the rest of forever?
>camping in Florida >sleeping on ground under tarp >sun sets >grunt.mp3 >piggies, piggies everywhere >sleep with frick huge bayonet, praying the hog menace does not stampede or gore me in my sleep
I'm always the most scared of snakes in my area, what the frick is the point in camouflage if you want me to leave you alone, you stupid c**tsnake. I'd leave you alone if I could SEE you.
Statistically these are far from the most dangerous, but I worry about them the most since I do a lot of outing in their territory. The thought of waking up to one breathing in my face is just horrifying.
We've got grizzlies, we've got polar bears, mountain lions, bull moose, gators, coyotes travelling in packs dozens strong, hell a deer can frick you up those hooves are sharp.
But the most dangerous thing you'll run across in the wilds around my area are junkies. Huge drug problem across all of North America, turns regular people into criminally insane ghouls, does even worse to those who were already crazy.
You learn to recognize them right quick.
A male pig is called a boar
A female is a gilt before it’s had its first litter
After it’s had a litter, a female is called a sow
Adolescents between piglets and adults are called shoats
And a neutered male pig is called a barrow
So the term “wild boar” is factually j core t. Pic related is me telling everyone this even though they don’t care and didn’t ask.
Black folk
Black folk don't go out.
The real answer is meth heads.

I will add I'm pretty sure it didn't get much venom into me, as the pain only lasted about a week. So I'm thankful for that.
>Humans have hurt me worse for less of a good reason.
I'm genuinely sorry to hear that.

Moose as youve posted. Then probably mountain lions, rattlesnakes and copperheads.
Then probably ticks
Deer while I'm driving to my destination, especially during mating season
>Two women
of course
Seems like women drivers are the real danger
>being this ignorant

Got bit right on the chest by one of these. They blend right into the leaves and don't get out the way when you're walking towards them.

Going outside is fundamentally dangerous for you, isn't it?
No. OP asked, so I contributed. If you think the stuff I mentioned is a likely danger, then you’re a coward.
Wild hogs will frick you up anon, those things are the Soviet red army of wildlife. Massive numbers, don’t care for their own safety, and quite moronic. Their cutters can get long and sharp and they’re at perfect kneecapping level.

Even ultra giga morons can recognize patterns

Did you guys know that sounders are almost exclusively female? Males are only found within the group when they’re adolescents or when breeding. Pigs have a heat cycle like dogs rather than a breeding season like deer. The sounder is led by a matriarch, who isn’t always the biggest, or the oldest, or the strongest.

Crocodiles
Polar bears
Jellyfish
Realistically: pitbull
It starts with am N and ends with an R. That's right, a norfolk terrier
Grizzlies will kill you. So will alligators. Moose will stample you...
I'm always the most scared of snakes in my area, what the frick is the point in camouflage if you want me to leave you alone, you stupid c**tsnake. I'd leave you alone if I could SEE you.
I kinda brush the grass on front of me with a stick like a blind guy. They'll probably skedaddle if they hear you coming
Statistically these are far from the most dangerous, but I worry about them the most since I do a lot of outing in their territory. The thought of waking up to one breathing in my face is just horrifying.

Bear (black, brown, polar)
Pack of wolves
Mountain lion
Bull moose
Alligator
Large group of feral pigs
A single wild boar is far more dangerous than a wild black bear
A male pig is called a boar
A female is a gilt before it’s had its first litter
After it’s had a litter, a female is called a sow
Adolescents between piglets and adults are called shoats
And a neutered male pig is called a barrow
So the term “wild boar” is factually j core t. Pic related is me telling everyone this even though they don’t care and didn’t ask.
In northern Ontario I'd say moose, black bear with cubs, wolves.
