Siafu Ant
The Siafu ant, also known as the driving ant and the dorylus, is a species of ant that is often found in Central and East Africa. As soon as food supplies are depleted, the siafu ant colony goes on the attack, unleashing a veritable army of 20 million individual ants that devours everything in its path. In addition to cutting through their hapless prey, the powerful dissolving acid that flows from their lips allows meals to be digested fast, without ever causing the column’s unrelenting march to be slowed or stopped. The flesh of small or immobilized animals can be eaten by swarms of ants in large quantities. Because the colony does not move very quickly, you should be able to easily dodge them. However, if they decide to pass through your home, it might be an extremely dangerous zone, and they will almost certainly attack you if you are not moving. The bite of these ants is extremely painful, and when they are removed, they leave two puncture holes. Furthermore, removal is incredibly tough because the ant’s jaws are extremely strong and can pull 5000 times the weight of the ant’s body (BBC). Because of the strength of their jaws, local tribal peoples in East Africa utilize them as natural, emergency sutures to sew wounds together by enticing the ants to bite on both sides of the gash and then tearing off the rest of the body.

Black Mamba
The Black Mamba, which is toxic, aggressive, and capable of moving at breakneck speed, has earned a fearsome reputation throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Approximately 1.5 million individuals are bitten by a snake every year in this region, which is a large number considering its size. Have you been attacked? You’d best hope it was a different species from what you were expecting. The majority of people that come into contact with a Black Mamba end up six feet under. However, the Black Mamba is the fastest land snake on the globe, and it can travel at rates of up to 12 miles per hour, making an escape on foot extremely difficult or impossible. Have you been cornered? This is one of the most poisonous predators on the planet, and death can occur in as little as 20 minutes after a lethal bite from one of its members. Every year, over 20,000 people die as a result of snakebites in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the Black Mamba accounting for a disproportionately large number of these deaths. Avoid this situation at all costs, or you may find yourself paying the ultimate price.
