So be warned, beware, and know what you’re getting into before you do anything foolish, like try and pet an animal that can take your hand off with one swift bite. Here is our list of the Top 5 Cutest Animals That Can Kill You.
1. SLOW LORIS
These little guys are about the size of a teddy bear and look like a miniature Ewok. you can’t get much cuter than that. But if you see one, stay far, far away. Even though they look like they’d love to be picked up and held, chances are good it’s the exact opposite. They’ll bite if they feel threatened, and their bites are laced with a deadly, fast-acting poison.
2. POLAR BEAR
White, fluffy, and totally deadly. Most bears are predators, and the polar bear is no exception. They’re not often found living close to humans, and it’s a good thing. These critters will actually stalk you for miles before finally attacking and eating you.
3. LEOPARD SEAL
Leopard seals are almost too cute. Something about their slick skin just makes you want to reach out and touch them. Especially if you catch them splashing around in the water. But don’t be fooled. These guys are aggressive. They’ve been known to attack researchers that get a little too close, and though one bite might not kill you, it can leave permanent damage.
4. KOMODO DRAGON
Okay, so not everyone thinks Komodo dragons are cute, but those of you who do better watch out. These reptiles have one deadly bite. Their saliva is among the most deadly known to man. It’s not just poison, it’s bacteria. It lives in the dragon’s mouth and transfers to your blood with one bite. Anything bit usually does within 24 hours. No thanks.
5. SWAN
They’re beautiful, elegant, and romantic. If you spot one swimming in a lake, chances are good you’re gonna want to feed it, maybe even touch it. Don’t. Like most wild animals, they perceive humans as a threat. If you feed them, they’ll come closer, and when they get closer, they tend to bite.
