They've been caught on film eating great whites (among other sharks), and given that great whites themselves have been seconded it seems only fair to have something that takes them out on the list.

Ah, now if you can nominate more than one then I propose the humble COCKROACH. Anything that can live for weeks without its HEAD needs to be on the list.

I dispute that the mosquito actually kills, like the tsetse fly, it unintentionally infects you with a parasite which kills you which is different to venom. Not hard, case closed.

The black mamba is much more aggressive therefore harder. Just being venomous doesn't make it hard on its own. If you want a cobra, i'd go for the spitting cobra as it spits venom in your eye just because it can......

Australian Saltwater Crocodile:
The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), also known as saltie, estuarine or Indo-Pacific crocodile, is the largest of all living reptiles, as well as the largest terrestrial and riparian predator in the world. The males of this species can reach sizes of up to 6.7 m (22 ft) and weigh as much as 2,000 kg (4,400 lb).
However, an adult male saltwater crocodile is generally between 4.3 and 5.2 m (14 and 17 ft) in length and weighs 400–1,000 kg (880–2,200 lb), rarely growing larger. Females are much smaller and often do not surpass 3 m (9.8 ft). As its name implies, this crocodile can live in salt water, but usually resides in mangrove swamps, estuaries, deltas, lagoons, and lower stretches of rivers. They have the broadest distribution of any modern crocodile, ranging from the eastern coast of India, throughout most of Southeast Asia, stretching south to northern Australia, and historically ranging as far west as just beyond the eastern coast of Africa and as far east as waters off the coast of Japan.
The saltwater crocodile is a formidable and opportunistic hypercarnivorous "apex" ambush predator capable of taking almost any animal that enters its territory, including fish, crustaceans, reptiles, birds and mammals, including other predators.

If being agressive towards larger creatures that actually have little interest in you other than as a curiousity just like a Honey Badger does, then i will nominate the Chiwawa.
If not already nominated then i will nominate the Black Mamba

If this is a nomination for the seagull, I'll second. The Irish Times is reporting that they are getting drunk on ants: http://www.irishtimes.com/news/envi...eagulls-have-become-more-aggressive-1.1885385
And they will attack people even if they haven't got chips.

The Bengal tiger
The Bengal tiger beats the African lion hands down when it comes to who’s the hardest. Tigers kill humans because they like to be alone, so invade one’s space and he may well end up having you for dinner. In Sundarbans National Park in Bengal, Bengal tigers kill around 30 people a year.

The Hippopotamus. An angry Hippo is not something you ever want to come across! I got charged by one when white water rafting in Kenya many years ago and shit my pants! I did actually shit myself as I had a bad case of the African trots!
They kill plenty of people each year and its quite rare for any predators to ever bring one down.

I am seconding this thing. Christ, this guy is HARD.
I am nominating two creatures, firstly, the Elephant.

And secondly, the tabby cat. A true menace to tadpoles.
(Not this one, his heart was soft and he passed - but the hardest creatures pass eventually! RIP)

Just in case of pedantry deployment I shall make sure the Honey Badger gets at least a nomination (should get an automatic seed in my opinion) and can do little better than repeat my previous rant on that upstart shrimp.
"Honey Badgers survive 300 bee stings, sleep off venomous snake bites, break in to lion enclosures to pick fights, can handle four hyenas at a time, see off rhinos by biting their balls, break into locked rooms and out of triple locked enclosures."
and they are about the size of a small cocker spaniel
