After so much social distancing, the world is slowly opening its doors. And you, of course, are already thinking about what your next trip will be, aren’t you? Life is short, opportunities are gone, and that’s why we must organize ourselves and take advantage of the travel possibilities. However, before jumping into the adventure, you need to take some precautions. Some regions of the world are home to the most dangerous animals that exist. And it doesn’t matter if you have health insurance: in many cases, insurance won’t cover problems involving animal.
From North America to southern Africa, or even more remote regions like the Arctic, it doesn’t matter: wild animals exist and can pose danger to travelers. We must respect animals and their spaces, as this is the only way we can also take care of our own health and safety.
Viper With Saw Scale

If you are planning your trip to dry regions, be careful! Certain regions of India and Africa are known to be the natural habitat of saw scale vipers. This species is extremely dangerous and usually hunts at night, when it goes out in search of food. The dry terrain of these regions favors its action, providing it with perfect conditions to also attack humans who travel to the place. With its lethal bite, the viper can cause irreparable damage, poisoning the blood and causing brain hemorrhages in its victims. Just to give you an idea of the danger, this type of snake is the one that kills the most in the world.
Portuguese caravel

You mean you like to spend your holidays at the beach? In fact, it’s a delight to dive into the sea and get lost in the waves, especially in summer. But have you ever heard of the dangers of jellyfish? This animal, also called the Portuguese caravel, can cause trouble for unsuspecting swimmers. Its bite is extremely painful and leaves deep marks, as if the person had been beaten with a whip. Affectionately nicknamed the “floating terror”, this animal can be found in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans. When you see jellyfish, run away as fast as possible! And in that case, take a conventional boat: you certainly don’t want to go by caravel…
White shark

Do you remember the movie Jaws? Whenever this scary villain was about to attack, that sinister music would start and fill his heart with dread. Things are different in real life, but not that much. The white shark is a marine animal that could not be left out of this list, precisely because it is one of the most dangerous beings on the planet. This ocean dweller, from time to time, frightens unsuspecting bathers and attacks them with great fury. Its bite is intense and causes deep damage, and can even cause the death of its victims. If you still have doubts about the dangers of swimming on beaches where there are sharks, read the news about shark attacks. It’s really shocking.
African Buffalo

The African buffalo is an animal whose size and beauty fascinate the most sensitive souls: if you have never read Clarice Lispector, start with the short story “O buffalo” and see how this quadruped enchanted the famous writer. But fiction doesn’t always reveal the dangers of real life. Known for its huge tusks, the African buffalo can be found in Sub-Saharan Africa and weighs approximately 2,000 pounds! In addition, these animals are great hunters, facing equally strong animals such as lions and elephants. So, the message is given: if you are planning a trip to regions where there are buffaloes, be extra careful.
