Not sure where the OP lives but deer are the most dangerous animals in the USA. Alligators are #9, well below livestock, dogs and bees/wasps/hornets.

That list sort of bends the truth. Would you rather have a face-to-face encounter with a deer or a shark? Deer do not attack the automobile. It attacks them and there is an accident. A shark can attack a human but encounters are rare because sharks are rare. At least compared to deer. And there are only black bears in Florida, not Grizzlies. Blacks are nocturnal and normally NOT aggressive. I believe that about spiders .....again because of numbers. But, I would put large alligators up high on MY list of dangerous Florida critters.
