The Animal Most Likely to Seriously Harm You

Methodology Baseline: Evaluated using a weighted index measuring risk profiles across three categories: Human Fatalities (50% weight), Serious Injuries & Hospitalizations (30% weight), and Incident/Collision Frequency (20% weight). By merging Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) vehicle mortality datasets, Statistics Canada ICD-10 mortality markers (Code X23: Hornet/Wasp/Bee stings), and peer-reviewed Canadian Veterinary Journal canine attack archives, this tracking matrix highlights local ecological and infrastructural realities over raw countrywide volumes.
