Just as a disclaimer – all animals are potentially
dangerous (yes, even your cuddly hamster). If you mess with them they’ll
mess with you. This list is not intended to make anyone hate cuddly
animals. End of disclaimer. With that said, get ready for a safari
because these are some dangerous animals that are deceptively cute!
|
Cassowary
Found in Australia, this bird looks rather ridiculous but trust us, if
you disturb it, prepare for attempted disembowelment (yes, that is
actually their go-to attack strategy). |
|
Deer
You thought they just prance around and eat grass? You better adjust
your preconceptions. Deer, especially bucks, have been known to charge
and trample humans.
|
|
Cats
We’re not talking about house pets, nor are we talking about lions. We
mean the mid-sized cuddly looking pumas and panthers. Don’t be deceived
by their smaller stature, they are often just as dangerous as their
lion/tiger counterparts. |
|
Dolphins
They look like fun animals, but guess what? They kill sharks. And guess
what else? They could easily do the same to you. |
|
Beavers
They are extremely territorial and do not hesitate to use their teeth.
|
|
Pufferfish
Pufferfish poison is very potent and will easily kill you by paralyzing
your diaphragm…which means you can’t breathe.
|
|
Red Fox
It’s usually wolves that get the bad rep, but foxes can be just as
vicious. In fact, they have been known to hunt small humans aka
children.
|
|
Raccoons
Although you usually think of them as just playing in the trash, if you
try to steal their pleasure they will use their claws to seriously mess
your life up.
|
|
Chimpanzees and Apes
Have you ever seen Planet of the Apes? Seriously though, monkeys may act
funny, or entertain you at the zoo, but if you make them angry be
prepared to face their wrath.
|
|
Slow Loris
It might be slow, but the poison it secretes from its elbows is insanely
dangerous. |
