Which cat is the deadliest of course that depends on how you define deadliest when it comes to which one is taking the life of the most people then the tiger is the clear leader from 1800 to 2009 about 373000 people were killed by Tigers mainly in south and Southeast Asia other big cats such as leopards or lions don't even get close to these numbers
tighers still the largest and probably the strongest cat species in the world but if it's not about the strength of the animal or the number of people killed what about the best kill rate the winners suddenly looks completely different in this case
The cute little black footed cat wins and leaves the fearsome competition far behind looking at it from this perspective especially Tigers are performing pretty poorly only about 5 to 10 percent of their hunting attempts are successful the other times the pre escapes and the Tigers left empty handed with 17 to 19 percent lines are doing a bit better if several lions hunted a group they even managed to reach a success rate of 30 percent with their hunting attempts but that's nothing compared to the black footed cats this cute little creature has a hunting success rate of 60 percent this is made possible by its different hunting styles and its patients when selecting prey animals the black footed cat is the smallest cat in Africa with a body length of about 40 centimeters and a weight of 1.3 to 1.9 kilograms but it still has to eat quite a lot every single day the cat needs 250 grams of food which is about one sixth of its total body weight to meet this need the black footed cat is out about all night searching for suitable prey there are many smaller animals such as mice and birds but some prey animals are even larger and heavier than the hunters themselves such as K. pairs and southern black or hands to catch these animals the black footed cat curls extremely slowly and carefully covering only 20 meters in 20 minutes the last 3 meters it then sprints and bites the pre in the neck to find its. Food in the first place the cat uses its excellent hearing sometimes it even hides with its eyes closed and listens to every sound in its surroundings on average it then starts a hunting attempt every 30 minutes of which most are successful every night the black footed cat manages 10 to 14 kills that's what makes the sweet an inconspicuous looking animal that looks almost like a domestic cat the deadliest feline predator in the world but domestic cats are not that much worse either with an average hunting success rate of 32 percent they are among the deadliest hunters as well as you've seen you should not be fooled by the look of an animal because sometimes the cutest animals can also be the most dangerous
