Elephants can be very dangerous. They are extremely large animals. They are also territorial, and will attack if you get too close to them. Male elephants also go through musth, which is a form of "heat" that means they are ready to mate. During this time, they are very aggressive and will attack almost anything that moves.

What Eats elephats?

Humans are the only predator that a elephant has. ADDENDUM: Humans are not elephants' only predator. Elephants are also hunted by lions, hyenas and wild dogs. Elephant calves are far more vulnerable to attacks from these predators and are frequently taken from the mother if there are no other adult elephants to help her defend her offspring. Large groups of lions have learned how to attack and kill juvenile elephants who have wandered away from the herd and lone adult elephants, too. These carnivores have to have large enough numbers and be hungry enough, though, to risk such a dangerous undertaking.

What is the most dangerus animal on earth?

mooses are dangerous and are the most agressive animals in the north :))One of it is lion but it's not as dangerous as a Mosquito! I know! Mosquitoes can kill u! They Are VERY dangerous PeterFoster111: Yes, the mosquito is the most dangerous. But, the most dangerous animal in the whole whide world besides the mosquito, is man.Last time I checked mosquitoes were classified as insects, not animals. And enough with the cliches about how "man" is the most dangerous animal - the person is simply asking which animals are the most dangerous. To answer this, I would base it off of the number of humans killed each year by the specific animals, so that would make snakes, crocodiles, elephants, hippos, and lions the most dangerous animals.Some of the most dangerous animals are elephants. really. They are large, fast and if you get stepped on by one, or charged, you are a goner. Also, wild cats like tigers and leopards are the most dangerous wild cats. Of course, there are more dangerous animals than these. Also, the Komodo Dragon is quite dangerous, but they are not common.
