It’s also accounted for almost 100% by mosquitos, specifically the diseases they carry…so not really the mosquitos at all. Quick searching shows snakes following mosquitos with 100,000 deaths caused per year. In any case, the scale is prodigiously unbalanced. Human animals kill trillions of non-human animals, almost entirely for their own pleasure. Non-human animals kill a few hundred thousand human animals (or a bit over a million if you count mosquito-borne disease) in self defense or by accident.
fun fact: we kill 3 TRILLION animals a year, most of which are sea animals.
fun fact: animals, exluding humans, kill about 1 MILLION of us humans a year, most of which are not sea animals.
Weird mathematical fact about that,
That works out to almost exactly every person on Earth killing exactly one animal every day.
Actually very interesting, I wonder if this ratio holds up throughout history.
Wow that’s 0.0000003% as much, which is conveniently exactly the same ratio as my balls to your mom.
