10 CUTEST Animals You Should NEVER Touch

[Music] today we're bringing you the 10 cutest animals you should never touch better stick around for number one because you should seriously reconsider before making this popular road in 20 of your household pets quick hints it's a lot cuter than a rat we know it's hard to turn down a soft hug from a koala or play date with a dog like dingo but some of the world's most adorable animals are indeed best left alone as they could quite literally kill you with their cuteness seriously you should never judge one of these sweet creatures by their welcoming appearance one of them carries an ancient disease we haven't seen in over 700 years and another has got enough venom to kill you 30 times over and some of the others will straight up just claw your eyes out so before you go petting one of these angels make sure they're not one of the 10 animals you're about to see buckle up thrill seekers and welcome to another episode of facts junkie want to keep boring away forever then make sure you hit that subscribe button so you don't miss another exciting moment all right let's get started number 10 slow loris they're shy they're slow and just look at those eyes can you imagine anything cuter well you probably should since the slow loris is one of the most poisonous mammals in the world weirdly enough their venom is laced with the glands in their elbows which they rub onto their hands and lick up with their mouths before transferring a dose of toxicity with a simple bite it's highly uncommon for a mammal to carry venom as is and scientists have compared the poison of a slow loris to that of a king cobra the fact that they seem to like us humans makes it even harder to resist the puppy dog eyes and slow movements of a slow loris but even if alors bites you by accident you could go into anaphylactic shock or experience all other sorts of dangerous conditions on the bright side a bite from a slow loris is only fatal if you're allergic to the toxin but do you really want to take the chance of hugging a slow loris to find out it's like playing a really adorable version of russian roulette and if you're rethinking adopting dolores as a pet just wait until you see animal number one number nine leopard seal you certainly wouldn't expect any danger from those puppy eyes would you but did you know the only natural predators of leopard seals are killer whales and great white sharks they may look happy all the time but leopard seals are secretly deep sea killers that lure in their prey with underwater melodies and their sweet unsuspecting smiles guys have been known to decapitate penguins and drown humans and it's never a quick death either as these guys like to sharpen their hunting skills by playing with their prey before killing it even if you did manage to befriend a seal a playful bite from one of these slippery animals could infect you with cellulitis and cause your skin to swell up all that to say you should probably rethink your wish of swimming and cuddling with these sea puppies before sacrificing yourself to these gods of the ocean on every story i do you need that superstar charismatic number eight koala those fluffy ears and beady eyes sure make them look cute and cuddly but you should think twice before picking up and hugging a koala these tree dwelling creatures look deceptively adorable but koalas are known to chase and claw your eyes if they feel threatened and it's not hard to provoke one in december 2014 a south australian woman received a vicious bite after trying to protect her two dogs from an aggressive koala we humans often mistake them for bears but they're actually marsupials meaning they're far more closely related to the equally cute kangaroo and wombat we know it's hard to resist using baby talk when you see one of these real-life stuffed animals at the zoo but marsupials are not meant to be cuddled or petted [Music] number 7. platypus the platypus is perhaps the most interesting and cutest animal hybrid you've ever seen it's got the best of both worlds the quirky snout and feet of a duck coupled with the pot belly and signature paddle tail of a beaver it's hard to resist wanting to pick up and pet one of these endangered creatures even if you did know about their assassin-like tendencies that's right the platypus may look super cute especially when it's a baby but who knew these duck feet come with a set of retractable claws that are poisonous the platypus is one of the few living mammals on earth to carry venom which is mostly produced during the mating season they sprout from the back legs as a defense tactic and if sprayed you're almost guaranteed to end up crippled and in the hospital number six puffer fish if you see a puffer fish smiling at you it's only because it's imagining your reaction once it blows its painful stingers into your face it's not hard to want to pinch the cheeks of the cute little puffer fish that made a cameo in finding nemo but did you know that these big fluffy cheeks make the puffer fish the second most poisonous spined animal on the planet not just that but it's got enough poison to kill a group of 30 adults if you're bitten by one the venom from its teeth will paralyze your diaphragm and you'll suffocate to death nor should you think of biting into one for lunch either unless it's been professionally prepared yep the puffer fish is famously served up as sashimi in japan some even consider the liver to be the tastiest part but it's also the most poisonous whether you're a fan of sushi or finding nemo we hope we didn't ruin things for you you're ready yeah here we go number five hedgehog those dangerous quills coupled with that cute little snout quite literally says i know i'm cute but don't you dare touch me the quills on a hedgehog can easily penetrate your human skin and in doing so inject you with a strain of bacteria that leads to flu-like symptoms you're almost guaranteed a good rash high fever and perhaps even some stomach pain but for some reason the fact that hedgehogs pose a serious threat to our health hasn't stopped us humans from adopting them as pets and even giving them tickles from time to time it probably works in your favor that hedgehogs won't prick you unless they feel dread and who doesn't mind a good backrub just keep in mind that they're like miniature porcupines with the skills of a silent ninja if need be number four bottlenose dolphins dolphins are a human's best friend right wrong in case you didn't get the memo dolphins are secretly psychopaths of the sea who commit gang rape and play volleyball with baby sharks before killing them as if that wasn't bad enough there have been numerous reports of dolphins killing their own babies bottlenose dolphins specifically are a very special breed of sadis the males of the species have been known to stalk couples of swimmers or divers and try to get intimate with the human female of the pair oftentimes they will even kill the human male just to win the competition for the lady in waiting makes you think twice about wanting to go swimming with these things on your next vacation right number three dingo let's get one thing straight here a dingo is not a dog dingos are wild untamed disease-carrying animals with much larger brains than domesticated dogs oh and they're much more closely related to a wolf than your golden labradoodle is we know they're gorgeous little puppies you'd love to pet but these dogs are all about the fight they've run in packs hunt down kangaroos and would have no problem ganging up on you either bottom line these puppies do not need rescuing so stay away humans number two red fox if you shouldn't pet a dingo you probably shouldn't pet a fox either especially not a red one so what makes the red fox more dangerous than the average one for starters red foxes are notorious carriers of rabies and they often perceive your kids and small family pets as dinner yep they may appear cuddly and romantic but especially urban foxes are a pest and threat to small humans back in 2013 a fox snuck into a london family home and tried to drag off a four week old baby boy before his mother frantically intervenes and back in 2018 an eight-year-old girl was hospitalized after being attacked by a fox while walking with a friend near her new jersey home [Music] so it's best to let these shy animals be and face the fact that the contents of your trash can will end up on your front yard and then i fell down when i was running away and then it started biting me number one prairie dogs prairie dogs are so adorable and small how could they be dangerous to touch first of all these cute little guys are not dogs they're rodents secondly they're a common food source for many predators such as coyotes and eagles even the cute badger will hunt these guys it's no surprise that these guys can get quite jumpy and snap at you when you suspiciously approach them regardless of their intelligence and social nature these rodents do not make good house pets because they're big on biting to protect themselves what's a little bite here and there you say while it's important to remember that some prairie dogs are still carriers of the bubonic plague you know the disease that wiped out half of europe about 700 years ago if that's not enough to discourage you from adopting one of these little critters take into consideration their sharp claws too they're quick clever and good at cutting there you have it those were the 10 cutest animals you should never touch are any of
