Coyotes are commonly viewed as wily scavengers not dangerous man-eaters, but in just two years, two teenage girls have been attacked by coyotes in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Highlands National Park. In fall 2009, Canadian singer Taylor Mitchell was killed by two coyotes while she was on a hike. Then this fall, a teenage girl was mauled while camping in the same park. Authorities have warned visitors about the coyotes and are actively working on trapping them. There are about 8,000 coyotes in Nova Scotia and authorities hope to cut that number in half.

In 2008 at least 30 bears trapped a team of geologists working for a coal mining company in east Russia. The giant bears (some measuring 10 feet in length) caught two of the scientists out in the open and killed them, forcing the rest of the geologists to take cover in their camp. Hunters were taken to the camp in all-terrain vehicles to dispatch the bears and save the geologists.
Shark attacks on the East Coast occur from time to time, but none have been more gruesome than the attacks in 1916. In the first attack a young man was gored by a shark while swimming in shallow water. Not much was known about sharks at the time, and experts suggested the culprits to be everything from sea turtles to killer whales. But a few days later several people were attacked by sharks while swimming in the freshwater Matawn Creek. Today experts believe bull sharks were responsible for the attacks. In total, four people were killed and one was injured. The brutal event later inspired the Peter Benchley's book Jaws and the subsequent movie.
Hyenas are not typically known for attacking humans in large numbers, but in 1992 a pack of Hyenas killed six people around the Malawi Lake area of Tanzania. Locals feared that the hyenas were possessed by witchcraft, but the government sent in rangers to track down and kill the animals. Photo: Ikiwaner
