7 superfofo animals capable of killing you
Looks can be deceiving and you already know that. The problem is that we do not always use this maxim for relationships beyond those social ones we bring with people like us humans. That's why there are a lot of people out there who say they prefer animals to humans - and if you're a part of them, beware: some pets that look harmless, cute and beautiful can just kill you.
1 - Puffer fish
Of course, such a beautiful, colorful and friendly fish should do nothing but be cute, right? Wrong. This little animal is simply the second most poisonous vertebrate animal in the world, and if you are bitten by one of these little critters, you will suffocate as the blowfish poison paralyzes the diaphragm. Detail: There is no antidote against this fatal toxin.
2 - Nycticebus
Why are these eyes so big? To look cute and harmless. Still, if you meet one of these animals, it's best just to look far and go in the opposite direction, after all they are the only poisonous mammals in the world. Not that he'll bite you and kill you, but this little animal exudes a very dangerous toxin by the elbows. Yes, elbows.
When you feel threatened, Nycticebus brings your elbow to your mouth and mixes this toxin with your saliva and then licks some parts of your body. This makes it easier for the poison to contact a predator. The mere act of touching one of these animals can cause death by anaphylactic attack.
3 - Cassowary
This colorful and cute bird, whose natural habitat is in Australia and Papua New Guinea, is quite aggressive and, when threatened, attacks its victims with one goal: to devour their guts. That is: do not provoke.
4 - Bear
While your childhood may have been stuffed with teddy bears and cartoons of these creatures as cute and friendly characters, this is not the reality. Bears are among the most dangerous carnivores and the animals that most hunt and kill humans. They are huge, threatening and in no way look like Teddy Bear.
5 - Elephant
This is another creature that is known as cute and nice, but can be quite aggressive when it feels threatened. Elephants are known for their unexpected outbursts of rage and their spiteful, vengeful temperament. In India there are frequent records of people who are killed by these animals.
6 - Monkeys
They are the animals most similar to humans, which means that they can transmit us many diseases. A simple bite of a small monkey can transmit the hepatitis C virus. Large monkeys such as orangutans and chimpanzees can strangle humans when they feel threatened.
7 - Anteater
What harm could an ant-eating animal do? Much. Anteaters are quite large and their claws are extremely sharp, capable of killing a person with one blow.
