Man Vs. Beast used data from the Centers for Disease Control to plot your odds of dying via animal on a map of America. They also figured out which animal is most likely to kill you in each state.

Bad news if you live in Montana: you’re more likely to be killed by an animal than residents of any other state in the nation. In contrast, Massachusetts residents have the least to fear from animals.

Mammals are the leading cause of animal-related death in America, with horses, cows, and deer leading the pack. Coming in second to mammals are hornets, wasps, and bees, which can cause deadly allergic reactions in some people. Your chances of dying from a venomous spider bite are pretty low – just 50 people in America met their end via spider in the past 16 years. How about snakes? Only 26 people have died from a venomous snake or lizard bites in the last 16 years.

This just goes to show that you’re in more danger from a sleepy-looking cow than you are from that garden snake. To learn more about this awesome research done by Man Vs. Beast, click here.
