What Killer Animals Means
This game compares estimated annual human deaths associated with a species through direct attacks, venom, or disease transmission.
- These are composite estimates, not a single official species-by-species surveillance table.
- Some rows come from direct fatality lanes like shark attacks or snakebite; others come from disease burden linked to a vector or reservoir species.
- Each species is assigned one primary lane so the game stays playable, but the values are still approximate and source-shaped.
The point is not fake precision. It is which animals sit closer to real human death burden once you look past pop-culture fear.
