The most dangerous animal in your state.

Louisiana. Probably a toss up between the Timber Rattler and the Cotton Mouth. Though I must say the Black Bear is making a comeback. Of course, tick and mosquito spread diseases are always present. And though verified attacks in our state are practically non-existent, Alligators have been seen as large as 13 feet.

Up here, our 'biggest' threat is the Polar Bear. That being said, more folks have been bothered by Moose over the years. We've got a healthy population of Black Bears here too, but they are timid in comparison.

Insects such as tick's, mosquito's, and black-flies are a daily concern. When you literally see 'clouds' of the flying bastards, you know it's time to un-ass the vicinity.

Flame-throwers should be on EVERYONE'S Christmas list.
