Here is an example of lies, damn lies, and statistics.

The cdc compiled the total annual deaths by animal to find out cows are more lethal than sharks. Well no.

Because what they should have done is taken the fatalities and normalized them with estimated human proximity hours. Cows kill more people, but a lot of people are handling a lot of cows everyday.

While an incredibly small number of people are within proximity to a shark. Once normalized for proximity hours I would be willing to bet your intuition about which animals are the most dangerous is about right.
