could be the death of you

counting down our picks for the top 10
adorable animals that can kill you
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at the prettiest most endearing
seemingly huggable creatures in the
animal kingdom that in reality could and
your life tour at least cause you some
serious harm the only adorable but
dangerous creatures we’re not
considering are those that are deadly as
a result of their ability to spread
disease we’re in the market for more
directly deadly animals number 10 the
Wolverine listen no one in their right
mind would suggest trying to hug that
cigar-smoking questionably co-opted
berserker with adamantium claws and a
heart of gold but honestly you might be
better off trying to snuggle up with
Wolverine than his namesake Wolverines
are a type of weasel and while they
might be the cutest weasel you’ve ever
seen they are also among the most
dangerous despite being one of the
largest of the weasel family typically
weighing between 20 and 50 pounds they
are still quite small relative to the
animals they’ve been known to hunt like
caribou deer sheep elk and moose they
may look like the miniature bear you’ve
been dreaming of but they are
notoriously ferocious number 9 the dingo
these Australian hounds might look like
your run-of-the-mill adorable mutt but
they are truly wild genetically speaking
they share a lot in common with domestic
dogs but from a behavioral standpoint
they are more akin to wolves and coyotes
as the largest land carnivore on the
continent the dingo is an alpha predator
within its environment people have
captured or raised dingoes to be kept as
pets but it’s discouraged as their wild
instincts can prove too difficult to
overcome dingoes are naturally shy and
avoid humans but have been known to
attack when cornered or desperate
typically these attacks result in mere
flesh wounds that’s that whole a dingo
took my baby story it actually happened
you know maybe she had good lawyers
maybe there was something
and bingos who knows that they’re
dangerous number eight the pufferfish
outside of a Pixar film fish typically
aren’t described as cute but just take a
look at this face anyone who says they
don’t want to cuddle with this adorable
little bundle of joy is either lying or
a cyborg who’s also lying sadly a
pufferfish snuggle fest is more than
ill-advised it’s quite possibly a death
sentence not only are most species of
pufferfish
toxic many of them are also counted
among the most poisonous creatures on
the planet
they contain tetrodotoxin which is a
highly deadly neurotoxin a small dose
can prove fatal and there is no known
antidote puffer fish have the ability to
inflate their bodies which in some
species are literally covered in sharp
poisonous spines so maybe keep them in
the aquarium number seven the Glaucus
atlanticus you know it sounds even less
likely to be adorable than a fish a slug
but this little beauty with a big name
looks like a later generation Pokemon
seemingly too bright colorful and
whimsical to exist outside of anime the
good news is they are totally real but
before you get your hopes up you should
know that handling these pocket-sized
fantasy creatures is highly discouraged
concealed in the tips of their long
tentacle-like appendages are venomous
‘no mat assists or stinging cells which
they acquire naturally via their diet
they can deliver a concentrated sting
that is sure to hurt but in rare cases
can even prove fatal
of their two nicknames the blue angel
and blue dragon the latter seems more
appropriate number six the Swan perhaps
more beautiful than adorable these large
water birds are commonly associated with
poise Grace and elegance in popular
culture we all know the story virginal
girl curing sweets
toppling the body of a swan and from a
distance they certainly appear calm and
serene but then you get too close to one
at which point composure be damned swans
are straight-up vicious swans have a
habit of aggressively chasing humans
when they feel threatened
but during mating season it’s often the
swans that wind up doing the threatening
in the town of thrush Gloucestershire
two swans had people afraid to leave
their homes as they indiscriminately
attacked humans and cars alike Swan
excuse me
I was attacked by a swan in 2012 a man
was actually knocked out of his kayak by
a swan which then proceeded to attack
him in the water until he drowned number
five the poison dart frog not all frogs
are cute but poison dart frogs or arrow
frogs with their small size and bright
colors are admittedly pretty endearing
unfortunately those colors which make
you so desperately want to pick one up
are intended as a warning to stay away
as a result of their diet which consists
of ants and termites specific to their
rainforest habitat their bodies collect
and store toxins which is then secreted
from their skin the name poison dart
frog comes from an historical use of
their skin secretions by indigenous
tribes who would dip their darts and
arrows in the toxin to deadly effect
thankfully when kept in captivity and
given a simplified diet their toxicity
diminishes making handling possible
don’t be mad
number four the monkey or primate not
all of them are deadly and not all of
them are that cute either but there’s no
denying the popularity of monkeys as
exotic pets humans have a long history
of bonding and developing close
relationships with our primate cousins
there the animal species most similar to
ourselves and exhibit many human-like
behaviors and characteristics now I’m
the king of the swingers who the jungle
VRP unfortunately our familiarity with
monkeys and comfort working with them in
close proximity and sometimes yield
dangerous or even deadly results
chimpanzees gorillas and orangutans all
possess remarkable strengths and when
threatened frightened or angered they
can easily bite or pummel a human to the
point of causing serious injury or death
number three the Panda they’re cute
they’re cuddly and thanks to videos like
this one people are deaf
to get some first-hand experience play
fighting with these delightful creatures
in fact pandas are so desirable and
inaccessible that people in China have
started shaping and coloring the fur of
dogs to look like pandas unfortunately
real pandas aren’t nearly as manageable
as their canine look-alikes
despite their roly-poly clown-like
behavior real pandas can be incredibly
violent when the mood takes them they
have the weight behind them to cause
some serious damage they might be
vegetarians but their bite is among the
most powerful of any carnivore in 2006 a
man drunkenly climbed into a panda
enclosure and was savagely mauled so
just stick to watching silly panda
videos okay just don’t fight just go
fight number 2 the bottlenose dolphin
beautiful super intelligent graceful and
incredibly playful what more could you
ask for in a swimming companion and swim
with them you can its a popular tourist
attraction in many countries an
opportunity to get up close and personal
with these remarkable aquatic mammals
however the issue lies in the popular
assumption that they are all friendly
and peaceful despite the fact that
they’ve been known to save swimmers they
are still wild animals and can respond
negatively if harassed or agitated
dolphins have been observed ganging up
on other creatures like sharks or
porpoises bludgeoning them to death with
their noses for fun
they’ve also bitten and pulled humans
underwater in one case a male dolphin
even charged a woman aggressively
attempting to mate with her remind me
never to go skinny-dipping that the
bottlenose dolphins before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
[Music]
and you should see plainly colored
animal take on incredible agitated
colors like neon blue circles like that
Wow it’s just electric
[Music]
number one the slow loris we’ve all seen
videos of them online they hold cocktail
umbrellas in their tiny hands stay stare
at the camera with those massive
adorable eyes and need we mention the
tickling they’re the closest thing in
the animal kingdom to a living breathing
Furby you likely thought to yourself if
only I had a slow loris I’d never be sad
again and who can blame you they’re
undeniably cute and known to be
particularly docile unfortunately
they’re also one of the few mammals on
the planet to be toxic they have a gland
on their arm which secretes a toxic
substance when threatened they lick this
gland mixing the toxin with their saliva
to deliver a bite that can result in
anaphylactic shock
beware the cute elixir saliva then he
licks his armpit it comes venomous is
that amazing very similar to myself do
