Forget snakes. Mosquitoes (and humans) are the biggest killers of humans
Description: Mosquitoes and people are the biggest killers of humans, according to a new graphic, released by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The third-deadliest species for humans are snakes, which are responsible for 50,000 deaths every year. Nearly ten times as many people meet their deaths at the hands of other people, totaling 475,000 annual fatalities. Mosquitoes are the world's number one killer, according to the 58-year-old philanthropist. [Source: Tech Times]
