15 dangerous animals that we consider cute and kind

When you think about dangerous animals, snakes, rhinos, crocodiles and other clawed, toothy or poisonous fauna come to mind. I don't even want to approach them, except to admire them from a distance. Whether it's deer or dolphins, right?

In fact, many animals that seem cute and safe may well pose a threat to humans. And in the wild, they should not be approached under any circumstances. Here are 15 examples of such deceptively cute creatures.

The Sibilant Swan

Raccoon

Long - tailed weasel

Koala

Red fox

Panda

Fat Lori

Cute creature fat lori looks like a Disney cartoon character: he has huge round eyes, a cute muzzle, and adults resemble harmless cubs. However, lori has one of the most dangerous poisons on the planet. On the elbows, the animal has special glands that produce a dangerous toxin, with which females smear their cubs to protect them from predators. Lori sucks the poison out of her elbow, puts it in her mouth and, if an uninvited guest approaches, bites him painfully, injecting the poison into the wound. Predators already know this feature of lori to defend themselves, so they try not to touch him.

Wild dog dingo

Sea Leopard

Sea leopards have killed several people in recent years. Their last prey was a marine biologist, whom they managed to drag 50 meters under water before he drowned and drowned.

Beaver

In 2013, there was even a fatal case in Europe: a beaver bit a fisherman twice on the leg, sharp teeth pierced an artery, and the man died before help arrived.

Badger

Dolphin

Tree-climbing frogs

Deer

Platypuses

Each sting is connected by a duct to the femoral gland, which during the mating season produces a complex "cocktail" of poisons. Males use spurs during mating matches. Platypus venom can kill a dingo or other small animal. It is believed that it is not fatal for a healthy person, but in case of defeat, it is necessary to urgently take the patient to the hospital. The affected muscles may ache for several months even in the case of emergency care.
