From huggable giant panda bears to smiling leopard seals, here are 11 cute animals that
00:06
are evil.
00:18
Number 11: Platypus.
00:21
The platypus is one of the most unusual mammals on earth.
00:24
In fact, when British scientists laid eyes on a specimen from Australia, they thought
00:28
that it was an elaborate fake.
00:30
It had the tail of a beaver; a duck’s bill and webbed feet; and an otter’s body and fur.
00:36
We have since come to know a lot about these small mammals.
00:39
For instance, how they hunt by scooping up insects, larvae, worms, and shellfish from
00:45
rivers and streams, and how they store their loot in their cheek pouches for later mashing
00:49
on land.
00:50
You may have also noticed that it’s one cute animal, but don’t let its looks and small
00:55
size fool you.
00:56
The male platypus has a spur in its hind feet, which excretes venom.
01:01
Young females have a similar spur, but it doesn’t contain venom and they lose it around
01:05
the age of ten months.
01:07
The venom cannot kill a human being, but the sting is very painful and the stung area rapidly
01:13
swells.
01:14
Unfortunately, the platypus is nearly threatened as a species.
01:19
Number 10: Panda Bears.
01:21
Look at this picture of a huggable Giant Panda Bear.
01:25
He loves to eat bamboo all day, and sleep soundly at night.
01:28
You might even jump at the chance to hug and pet him.
01:32
But, you might want to hold on, as appearances can be deceiving.
01:36
While there is nothing more huggable than a panda bear, they are a formidable carnivore,
01:41
which can attack a human being, particularly when it’s frightened or threatened.
01:45
Mr. Lui, a 20-year old male student, learned this the hard way.
01:49
He believed that pandas were just cute, harmless and dumb.
01:52
In fact, he was willing to scale a tall fence and enter a panda’s enclosure at a zoo in
01:58
the Jiangxi province of China.
02:00
“This is nuts,” you might say.
02:02
But, Mr. Lui was out to impress two female friends, who had accompanied him to the zoo.
02:07
He landed with a huge thud that woke up a slumbering panda bear.
02:11
It wrestled him to the ground and came close to killing him.
02:15
Luckily, he escaped with only torn pants after a short wrestling match.
02:19
There are about 1,000 pandas left in the wild.
02:22
The best we can do is to protect them, and not provoke them since they have an adorable
02:27
reputation to uphold.
02:29
Number 9: Elephants.
02:30
Humans and elephants have a lot in common.
02:34
Just like us, elephants are highly intelligent, social, and gentle.
02:38
They display a series of complex behaviors and feel a host of different emotions.
02:43
They even mourn when a family member dies.
02:46
Every elephant has an individual personality…Some are introverts, who keep to themselves, while
02:51
others are extroverts, and like to interact.
02:54
Then, there is the old adage that says, “Elephants never forget.”
02:58
While elephants are mostly peaceful, they can become violent, aggressive, cruel, evil,
03:04
and murderous like humans.
03:06
They deliberately kill about 500 people each year.
03:10
Elephant researcher Joyce Poole believes that this aggression is the result of the ill-treatment
03:14
of elephants by humans.
03:16
They have been massacred to quench the voracious demand for Ivory in Asia.
03:20
Moreover, according to the United Nations, about 100 elephants die every day at the hands
03:26
of poachers.
03:27
Captive elephants kept in zoos and those used as show animals suffer ill-treatment.
03:32
They are forced to work by their masters, instead of roaming in the wild freely.
03:37
This leads to frustration and ultimately results in violent outbursts that can become fatal.
03:43
For instance, on August 20, 1994, Tyke, an African bush elephant that belonged to the
03:49
Circus International of Honolulu, killed her trainer, then bolted from the circus arena,
03:54
and went on a violent rampage around town.
03:57
The police shot Tyke 100 times before she succumbed to her injuries.
04:03
Number 8: Leopard Seals
04:06

It only takes a second, but, we appreciate it more than you know!
04:17
There is nothing more satisfying than spotting a smiling leopard seal during a trip to Antarctica.
04:22
You will find it resting on floating ice blocks, and it won’t mind posing for a picture or
04:27
two.
04:28
But, don’t be hasty to trust the cheerful leopard seal.
04:30
It’s a fierce hunter with a powerful jaw lined with lengthy teeth.
04:35
It’s also a remarkable swimmer than can reach a top speed of 25 miles per hour.
04:41
Leopard seals mainly hunt smaller seals, squid, penguins, and fish.
04:45
But, there have been three known attacks by the seals on humans.
04:49
In 2003, a leopard seal killed marine biologist Kirsty Brown, by dragging her underwater while
04:55
she was diving in the Antarctic coast.
04:57
It was the first documented human fatality attributed to the leopard seal.
05:03
Number 7: Orcas
05:05
These black and white sea mammals, popularly known as killer whales, are in fact, the largest
05:10
dolphins on the planet.
05:12
They are formidable ocean predators, which hunt in pods that consist of up to 40 members.
05:17
They typically hunt sea lions, seals, squid, fish, and seabirds; but they can also kill
05:23
whales.
05:24
In the wild, orcas have shown no desire to kill humans.
05:27
All documented orca attacks and deaths have occurred at marine parks.
05:32
Tilikum, a male orca owned by Sea World, was the most prolific human killer, held responsible
05:38
for three deaths.
05:40
His last victim was Dawn Brancheau, a 40-year-old trainer, and the attack occurred on February
05:45
24, 2010.
05:47
She was rubbing Tilikum as part of a post-show routine when he grabbed her ponytail and pulled
05:52
her underwater.
05:53
Tilikum’s aggression was blamed on stress and frustration because of long-term confinement.
05:59
Number 6: Horses.
06:02
We have enjoyed a profitable relationship with horses for the past 5,000 years.
06:07
They have fought in our wars, provided a reliable means of transportation, entertained us, and
06:12
done more than we ever bargained.
06:14
But, behind the close partnership lies a deadly secret.
06:18
While horses may do all our bidding silently, they injure and kill humans.
06:24
In Australia alone, 10-20 people die each year due to horse-related injuries.
06:29
Most of the injuries are caused by the horse’s powerful kick.
06:33
It’s like being struck by a bowling ball traveling at 80 mph.
06:37
This force can fracture bones and skulls, and turn internal organs into jelly.
06:42
Horses also bite.
06:43
According to research, you are 20 times more likely to become injured, while doing a horse-based
06:48
activity than riding a motorcycle.
06:52
Number 5: Poison Dart Frog.
06:55
The Poison Dart Frog wears the most radiant colors in nature.
06:58
However, this tiny 2-inch frog has enough poison to kill 10 men.
07:03
You can actually die just by touching it.
07:06
Surprisingly, the dart frog doesn’t manufacture the fatal toxin.
07:10
It acquires it from the ants, beetles, and millipedes it eats.
07:14
The species is found in the tropical forests of South America, from Costa Rica to Brazil.
07:19
It may have different colors, including gold, yellow, blue, black, and copper.
07:25
There is an essential point to note about brightly colored animals such as coral snakes
07:29
and monarch butterflies; they are poisonous.
07:33
It’s an adaptation called, Aposematism or Warning Colors, which signals predators to
07:38
avoid a poisonous prey.
07:41
Number 4: Puffer Fish
07:43
It’s difficult not to love a puffer fish.
07:45
It looks like a fat tadpole with protruding eyes and a long snout.
07:50
And it’s famously known for inflating itself by ingesting huge amounts of water or air
07:55
when threatened by a predator.
07:56
Though no fish can rival the looks of an inflated puffer fish, it’s a dangerous creature.
08:03
Puffer fish are covered with spines laced with a powerful neurotoxin known as tetrodotoxin,
08:08
which is 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide.
08:12
A single puffer fish has enough of this poison to kill 30 grown men.
08:17
Just like the poisonous dart frog, it obtains its poison from the bacteria it eats.
08:22
Despite this, the puffer fish is a delicacy in Japan, where it’s known as fugu.
08:27
It’s served in specific restaurants, but chefs have to undergo extensive training before
08:33
they are qualified to prepare the dish.
08:35
What’s more, they take the first bite, before the customer.
08:38
That way, if the fugu is badly prepared, they are also poisoned.
08:44
Number 3: Dogs.
08:47
Some dogs get more love than humans do.
08:50
It’s a terrible world epidemic.
08:51
But we are not here to call people out for their dog obsession, but to highlight the
08:56
fact that they can be evil and dangerous too.
08:59
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 4.5 to 4.7 million
09:05
Americans are bitten by dogs each year.
09:08
About 900,000 bites become infected, and 20-30 of the bites result in death.
09:15
Here is something more chilling; dogs cause 66% of animal-related deaths in children below
09:20
the age of four.
09:21
Regardless of how docile your dog seems, or how well trained they are, never allow them
09:26
to interact with an infant or child without supervision.
09:29
It may turn into a killer.
09:31
We are not denying that pooches are cute, loyal, and willing to please; and there is
09:37
no shame in having a dog obsession; but, always remember that dogs are capable of violence.
09:43
Number 2: Slow Loris.
09:46
The Slow Loris is an Internet star.
09:49
Videos on YouTube of the Slow Loris being tickled or chewing a banana have millions
09:54
of views.
09:55
Why do we love the Loris so much?
09:57
Is it because of the primate’s bulging eyes?
09:59
Or have we fallen for their charm and delicate look?
10:03
These are solid reasons to ogle at pictures of this adorable creature for hours.
10:08
But there is a completely different side to the Slow Loris than you see on the Internet.
10:12
They are the only venomous primate, and they derive their venom from a gland in their arm.
10:18
They activate it by mixing it with their saliva and deliver it to the enemy through a bite.
10:23
This can be life-threatening if you’re allergic to the poison.
10:27
When in danger, the Slow Loris hisses and slithers like a cobra.
10:31
Here is an unusual fact.
10:33
In 2014, Lady Gaga was bitten by a Slow Loris, while attempting to feature it in her music
10:38
video.
10:39
Sadly, the primate is currently threatened due to the illegal pet trade.
10:44
Number 1: Cows
10:47
Cows sustain human life through their life-giving milk and meat.
10:50
Moreover, their docile nature makes them perfectly harmless.
10:53
So, why is the cow on this list?
10:57
Well, in 2015 cows were officially declared the most deadly animal in Britain.
11:02
It had killed 74 people in the last 15 years.
11:06
Keep in mind that we are talking about cows and not bulls.
11:10
In the USA, the CDC estimates that 22 people are killed by cows every year.
11:16
These heavy herbivores kill by trampling and crushing their victims to death.
11:20
In most cow attacks, two things stand out.
11:23
Most attacks happen around the calving season, and dogs are usually present.
11:28
What do you think is the cutest evil animal?
