Read the text about three very dangerous animals.

Pufferfish or blowfish (you might also have heard of them as "fugu") are extremely poisonous. Unlike the other predators, these fish won't attack you and bite. Its toxins are contained in its bones, skin, and muscles. Thus, it can pose dangers to people while being consumed. In fact, this fish is a popular delicacy in Japan, where only specially trained cooks can prepare it. However, it doesn't prevent several deadly cases per year caused by poisoning with fugu toxins.

Black Mamba is a snake that inhabits savannas and rocky areas in several parts of Africa. It isn't as poisonous as its close relatives, but it has another advantage that makes it especially dangerous for those who meet it: Black Mamba's speed. This snake can move extremely fast, up to 20.1 kilometres per hour, which makes it practically impossible to avoid its attack. Fortunately, this species will only want to bite you if you frighten it. Unfortunately, if you make it scared, it'll bite you with the amount of toxins allowing to kill up to ten people.

You may find Tsetse fly in Sudan, Congo, or Angola. It's a small insect whose main occupation is to suck human and animal blood. However, it's not the main reason why this species is such an effective killer. The fly carries parasites called trypanosomes, and delivers them right to people's blood. These parasites, consequently, cause fatal disease which is represented with such symptoms as disruptions in sleep cycles, changes in behaviour, and bad coordination. As since there is no specific anti-trypanosomes vaccine, people are advised to avoid spending time in the bushes and wear clothes of neutral colours (tsetse is known to choose bright and dark ones more often).
