Beware – These Are The Most Dangerous Animals In Each State

Cows in Iowa

Iowa’s most dangerous animal is not a wild predator but a seemingly docile cow. With over 3.85 million head of cattle in the state, working in a farm setting can be risky. Agriculture is among the highest-risk occupations, with many fatalities resulting from interactions with animals, particularly cattle and horses.

The CDC reports that cows kill an average of 20 to 22 people annually in the United States. Most are from blunt force trauma from kicks or trampling to the chest. If attacked by one, aim for the nose to deter the animal.
