TV’s Steve Backshall has been branded a scaremonger for saying snakes are deadlier than sharks.
The adventurer, 48, listed a killer animals top ten with sharks — ten human victims a year — in last spot.
Snakes (138,000) were second after mosquitoes (725,000).
A snake catcher in Australia fumed on Facebook: “Just more of the same really plus fearmongering for these other species as well. Anything for ratings hey Steve.”
Another user said: “You host kids’ wildlife shows, be more responsible.”
Steve, hosting Shark on Sky Nature, said: “This post is pure and simple reporting actual statistics.
“Shark attacks command much media attention but the statistics demand a little context.”
