Map Of Canada Shows Which Animal Is Most Likely To Kill You In Every Province
Canada is a vast place that is mostly uninhabited. And in that wild, white yonder, animals reign supreme.
Every once in awhile one of these noble animals will cross paths with some unlucky soul, and although it happens rarely, these encounters can be deadly.
In Canada, hitting a moose or deer is still your #1 cause of animal death, but since we didn't want a map full of moose, we perused all the animal attack stats in North America to find out which animal attacks the most in every Canadian province and territory.
Here are the results:
Alberta
Deadliest Animal: Brown Bear
There were three times as many Brown Bear attacks than in any other province in Canada
British Columbia
Deadliest Animal: Cougar
B.C. is by far the province where you're most likely to get killed by a wild animal. The likeliest culprits are Cougars, Bears and Wolves.
New Brunswick
Deadliest Animal: Moose
People don't get attacked much in N.B. so the most likely way an animal can kill you is if you hit a Moose with your car
Newfoundland and Labrador
Deadliest Animal: Moose
Again, not many animal attacks take place here, so a Moose on the road in your number one threat.
Northwest Territories
Deadliest Animal: Black Bear
You would think Polar Bears had a better chance of sneaking up on you in the NWT, but you'd be wrong. Black Bears kill the most.
Nova Scotia
Deadliest Animal: Deer
Here again you're most likely to die hitting animal but chances are you'll hit a Deer instead of a Moose.
Ontario
Deadliest Animal: Wolf
I definitely wouldn't have guessed this one, but the stats are pretty disturbing.
Prince Edward Island
Deadliest Animal: Dog
Since no wild animal is likely to kill you in PEI, sadly it's dog that take the top prize here.
Quebec
Deadliest Animal: Black Bear
Moose and Deer are a serious hazard on the roads, but when it comes to wild animal attacks, Black Bears are the #1 threat.
Yukon
Deadliest Animal: Wolf
Looking back on this list, I think we need to organize a wolf hunt.
