I have to admit I'm surprised...
I had no idea so many people are killed by wolves. 10! I'd have expected 1 or 2, if that.

Lots of wolf attacks in India, Russia, and Iran. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_attacks_on_humans

What happened to horses? I've seen other stats showing that horsing accidents caused far more deaths than dog attacks in the US . . . and far far more injuries. I suspect the definition of 'deadly' is a bit arbitrary.

Yes, horses kill about 100 people a year in the U.S. and cows about the same. Across the world, the numbers are going to be very high for both. Not a comprehensive graphic, clearly. See this for relative threats >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2012/07/beware-of-cows.html
