Problem is, there are no reliable statistics to support any definite conclusion. In most African countries there are no statistics on deaths caused by animals at all.
Opinions on the matter are mostly conjecture and anecdotal.
The book mentioned in my previous post makes a decent effort at analyzing what evidence is available, but doesn't get beyond educated guesses.
