1. Humans are the most dangerous creature on the planet.
2. Humans are the member of the animal kingdom that cause the most deaths (after all, we are mammals and do fall into that kingdom)
3. Bacteria are the most suscessful creature ever. Viruses would be except they are not considered alive by the standards of life (cannot reproduce without a host, do not require energy, cannot divide without redirecting a host cell to make more, do not respire, ....)

1 the most dangerous one is the one threatening your life at that particular point in time. Animal most responible for human deaths, not sure but mosquito sounds good, all the maleria deaths. But could be flea on the black rat that caused the black death wiping out 25% of world population.
Most successful ever, depends what you mean by success. man dominates the world now, but ants make up the greatest numbers in biomass terms i believe.

> 1) What's the most dangerous creature on the planet?
Human being. Homo sapiens sapiens. Hunts tigers for fun. Changes the local environment to match its needs, displacing indigenous species.
> 2) Which member of the animal kingdom is responsible for the most human deaths?
Human beings again! Homo sapiens sapiens. Kills its own kind in great numbers!
> 3) What is the most successful creature ever?
Well, a hundred fifty years ago, I might have said "passenger pigeons." Now, I guess I'll have to say "German cockroach." Found on every continent except Antarctica, large population, blah blah blah. If you're asking about mammals, I'd probably have to say "Norwegian rat." Found on blah blah blah, enormous population, blah blah blah.

ignoring bacteria which is not a creature, mosquito's kill more people than anything else.
therefore making it the most dangerous creature on the planet.
How do u rate success?
Crocodiles have remained pretty much unchanged for millions of years.
coral reefs live for hundreds of years and are an animal.
personally, i would choose the Spider. its live all over the world, on land, in water, on the ground, in trees, and look what nature has given it. webs that are stronger than steel!

1. Most consider the human to be the most dangerous, because it is the only creature on the planet that will willingly destroy it's own environment.
2. The flea, as it has been a carrier of many diseases, many of which caused epidemics of biblical proportion.
3. The cockroach; it had maintained itself in it's current state for possibly millions of years.

1) Class 4 viruses (tropical ones like Lassa Fever): mortality nearly 100%...
2) Mosquitos carrying Malaria amoebas....
3) Regarding the ability to be adopted in extreme environments and having excellent skills of competition: Rat amog vertebrate animals; beetles among insects; cactus among plants; lichens (= symbiosis of an algae and a fungi) among microorganisms...? I think that, after all, lichens are the winners!

First two go to humans... or possibly some kind of bacteria...
Number three would have to be awarded to the cat. I mean, it's just perfection... no, wait, the cat is the most successful carnivore, and the moo cow is the most successful vegetarian animal.

1)Man
although my next choice would have to be:
George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton- an evolutionary breakthrough, evidence points that they are actually a regression to the species
2)Yersinia pestis - the bacteria responsible for the 14th century Black Plague, it's still problematic even today
3)Sponges - they have survived mass species extinction after extinction and still they inhabit the earth. They are the oldest living animal phylum on this planet

1. Tiger - will kill for fun, all other creatures (bar humans) only kill when they want to eat, the Tiger will kill you just because you are there.
2. Would you believe the Hippo! (not counting the mosquito)
3. Sharks, been here since the time of the Dinosaurs, and has changed little, as it has evolved to the point of perfection for it's purpose.
