There's a whole other world of killers every bit as dangerous as the deadly defenders. These are the animals we love to hate and we're the food they love to eat. But who are the modern day man-eaters and what are we doing to encourage them?
The popularity of surfing, swimming and diving has given sharks endless opportunities to attack us. If there's one shark most likely to get the blame for killing people, it's the great white. Counting all different species of shark, there will be around 80 shark attacks on humans, with some 10 fatalities, with just one of them down to a great white. Besides great whites, you can see bull sharks, mountains lions and alligators in this edition.
Today you can buy snake, spider or lizard as your pet. In USA, every year over 300 people find themselves being eaten alive by mini man-eaters and they may not even know it.
