I assume in the question mark states you're most likely to be killed by a cryptid.

I find it hard to believe that scorpions kill more texans than cattle, horses, or 30-50 feral hogs. (feral hogs are common and genuinely scary as gently caress btw)

The bark scorpion is like the only you'd ever encounter that's lethally dangerous.

It's "most unique" way to die not most likely to die. So the one that sets you apart more than others. And the animals represent whole categories of creatures like "Large mammals"
Scorpion is venomous arthropods. In my heart I believe it to be the terror of my childhood:

I had a feeling they were including spiders and such in the scorpion graphic but good to know. We don’t have scorpions in NC but we sure do have some spiders who will ruin your day.

Edit: Nevermind I should read all the legend options! Now off to find a scorpion somewhere around here I guess.

If as many people die of insufficient data as that map would have you believe Greenland must be a very dangerous place.

Freshwater aquatic snails can carry schistosomiasis. It makes you poo poo and puke blood to death like turbo-dysentery. I'd figure that's what they're counting.

e: rather the snails carry the schistostomes which cause schistosomiasis in humans, but I doubt the distinction matters if parasitic worms are making you poo poo out all your blood in the moment

I've heard that a lot of spider deaths aren't from bites, they're just from people driving and then getting so scared by the spider they have accidents.

What confused me as a kid were towns that had an 'Upper' and 'Lower' part, with the upper part on a lil hill or something. With the Upper part of town being lower on the map (further south) than the Lower part.

Relatedly when I was in school I remember being taught a bunch of times not to say things like "this town is under this other town" when I mean "this town is to the south of this other town" because otherwise I'd be saying it's like, buried underneath it or something. But nowadays I hear everyone saying it the wrong way and it's written that way in the papers too.

Land just runs out in the Southern Hemisphere. Las Vegas and Gibraltar are further from the Equator than the southern tip of Africa is.

South America goes substantially farther, but it gets so narrow and even then, Scandinavia, Greenland, almost all of Alaska and Russia, and two-thirds of Scotland are further from the Equator than Cape Horn is.

Land doesn't run out, it's just covered in ice.

For now.
