25 Most Hated Mammals On Earth

I'm Mike with list 25 and here the 25 most hated mammals on earth and I'm pretty sure if it were up to you guys my puns would be on this list that's just silly puns are mammals 25 hyena the hyena is the first to start off our list of the top 25 most hated animals known to man though primarily a scavenger the hyena can also hunt for prey if there's not enough carrion dead animals around during periods such as war when there are high human casualties hyenas have been known to develop a liking for human flesh and even hunt live humans if not enough corpses are around they helped kill Mufasa hidden 24 red fox though it may look cute the red fox is more of a menace and no I don't mean the comedian kept in check and keeping small mammals in check in its native habitats of Eurasia North Africa and Central America the red fox has become an invasive species in Australia where it was introduced in the mid 1800s for hunting the Fox often kills newborn lambs and carries rabies with a range of a hundred and ninety miles or 305 kilometers the red foxes effects can be devastating on an ecosystem 23 Bush tail possum the bush tail possum is a native mammal to Australia and was introduced to New Zealand in the 19th century since then the animal has ravenously devoured eucalyptus leaves and threatened many local bird species even worse for Kiwi farmers possums are the main method of transferring bovine tuberculosis which can quickly rip through a herd for the benefit of Kiwi beef it's probably best we keep hating this animal 22 honey badger popularized by a comedic YouTube video of a man narrating a day in the life of the crazy nasty honey badger the honey badger holds the Guinness Book of World Records prized as the most fearless animal on the planet known to send even Lions scurrying off their prey the honey badger is incredibly difficult to kill due to its loose and tough-skinned neither dogs nor machetes have proven effective against this beast which can easily rip up hen houses even worse the honey badger is known for surplus killing whereby it kills way more prey than it can eat 21 nutria sounding more like the latest health food bar the nutria is a semi-aquatic rodent which mildly resembles the beaver once cultivated for their fur large feral populations now roam territories outside its native South America though only in herbivore the nutria devours River plant stems and has now become the most common herbivore in Louisiana's marshes everyone down in the Bayou hates the creature which contributes to Louisiana's loss of a football-sized patch of wetlands every hour partially by destroying local dikes and irrigation systems 20 deer deer are some of the most hated animals in the world especially on roads which wind through forests in wooded areas known for crossing the road just as a car passes by deer caused about 1.5 million collisions annually resulting in 1.1 billion dollars of damage and the death of about 150 people in the US alone 19 African wild dog also known as the African hunting dog the African wild dog is one of the best hunters on the Savannah whereas Lions only come back with a kill on about 10 percent of hunts this dog has a success rate of about 80 percent making one of the most efficient and deadly African predators ironically one of the biggest and most successful predators of the African wild dog is the lion some groups in Africa have turned fear into respect for the beast with locals in Ethiopia formally believing that killing the wild dog with a spear would lead to it dipping its tail in the blood and whipping it at its attacker causing instant death sounds pretty scary 18 monkey though they are our closest relatives monkeys are seriously hated in some parts of the world especially Asia though revered in India as the monkey god Hanuman monkeys have been known to infect humans with rabies and destroy crops in temples and tourist spots throughout Southeast Asia monkeys have been known to attack humans 17 platypus not many mammals in our world are venomous nor secret agents but the platypus is one of them this egg-laying mammal one of only five is endemic to eastern Australia with the spur on its rear foot the platypus can inject its prey or a human with venom so powerful it can kill a dog the venom is not lethal to humans but has been reported to cause excruciating pain sometimes causing the victim to fall unconscious some people stung by the platypus even report a heightened sensitivity to pain that can last many months doofenshmirtz 16 kangaroo the Australian Highway version of a deer kangaroos are also perplexed by headlights and are often hit by travelling cars in more remote areas hitting a kangaroo can easily destroy a small car in fact 18 Australians died last decade from roo related collisions 15 that yes the bat is a mammal rather than a bird and most of us are pretty freaked out by these nocturnal creatures though often dramatis eyes dat halloween time as bloodsuckers bats rarely bite humans then actually prefer insects to blood they act as an effective pest control plant pollinator and natural fertilizer producer if there's any mammal on this list we should love rather than hate it's the bat 14 short tailed weasel these cute looking short tailed weasels are anything but cute these greedy little mammals have hunting instincts bigger than their stomachs and often kill way more than they can eat they can also swim up to a mile in the ocean and can wander up to 40 miles or 65 kilometres at one time in New Zealand these hated animals have been responsible for the extinction of quite a few bird species 13 feral cat one of humanity's most common house pets cats are generally thought of as harmless and docile though a bit lazy creatures but when cats go feral meaning one house cats become wild cats they can be quite the pest one study found that 62 to 82 percent of feral cats carried toxoplasmosis a parasite which causes neurological damage to marine mammals beyond their danger to health feral cats have also hunted the okinawa woodpecker and cayman island ground iguana into endangered statuses twelve dog though we know them as man's best friend maybe we should rethink our relationship with dogs in a period of just over thirty years up to 2013 over 450 people were killed by dogs in Canada and the US and over 2400 people were maimed furthermore in India alone about 20,000 people die each year due to rabies infections from dog bites the source of 90% of human rabies infections globally 11 hippopotamus named from the ancient Greek words for river horse the hippopotamus is one of the deadliest animals in Africa it's unpredictable nature and aggression has led it to charge quite a few boats in humans for example in 2014 a hippo charged a boat near 90 years capital which led to the death of 13 people in Colombia a local drug lord decided to raise for after his death his estate was abandoned and they multiplied rapidly about 20 years later the population was almost 5 times as large and some of the hippos even escaped and killed nearby cattle and attacked humans making it quite the hated animal in the area 10 goat the goat though it might seem like a simple animal which goes great with Indian curry this is one tough animal domesticated in western Iran over ten thousand years ago goats can survive some of the least hospitable climates on earth add in a rabid appetite and ability to consume almost any tough plant matter and hers can ravage small islands and lead to ecosystem collapse goat herds have been known to grow so large they cover an area up to 12 miles across and sometimes they beat up New York architects nine mongoose originating from central and southern asia the Mongoose is a wily predator introduced to islands such as Mauritius and Fiji to wipe out surging rat populations on sugar cane plantations the Mongoose took a liking to other local foods it found and now both the rat and Mongoose are invasive and destroying the ecosystem eight lion though many people think of lions is only hunting prey such as zebras and wildebeests Lions have caused quite a few human deaths as well and actually enjoy human meat one of the most shocking recent deaths was when a tourist at a South African game reserve was mauled by a lion through an open car window from 1990 to 2005 lions are known to have killed 871 people in Tanzania alone these days they still regularly kill 100 people per year there in one of the most gruesome lion attacks - lions killed 28 railway workers in Kenya in 1898 and I'm not lying you added that didn't you no really no bad seven raccoon often known for their mischievous behavior knocking over trash bins and eating food waste raccoons can pose another major annoyance to humans in many communities raccoons set up dens and warm attics causing thousands of dollars in damage raccoons are also disliked by farmers both for feeding on chickens and ducks in their eggs and for damaging corn plants it's estimated around 87% of damage to corn is raccoon related 6 coyote the coyote is one of if not the greatest menace to ranchers livestock related to the gray wolf coyotes used to hunt livestock only at night but have since become braver as human communities have expanded if you ever come across a coyote making as much noise as possible we'll help chase it off one person who will forever hate coyotes is Jessica Simpson who had her beloved multiple dogs snatched by one in 2009 five skunk known in cartoons is Pepe LePew the striped skunk is most known for its noxious odor when threatened skunk shoots sulphurous chemicals as far as ten feet or three meters from their anal scent glands the smell is so strong it can be traced a mile or one and a half kilometers downwind skunks are generally cautious about using its defense mechanism since the chemical takes up to 10 days to be replenished for rat Rattus Rattus yes that is its scientific name is one of the most hated mammals in the world experts scavengers the nocturnal rat is responsible for bringing infected fleas to Europe which launched the bubonic plague today rats continue to carry a host of diseases and have even been responsible for the extinction of a host of native species of reptiles invertebrates and birds such as the Tahitian Sandpiper 3 cape buffalo widespread across African grasslands the cape buffalo is responsible for more fatalities in africa than any other large animal able to rush at 40 miles per hour or 65 km/h with its full ton of weight the cape buffalo sometimes charges even when unprovoked scarily this massive beast won't stop charging even if it's shot through the heart and it's been known to attack and kill lions I'm not lying no you used it already - elephant though one of the most well revered animals on the planet elephants are also among the most hated despite Western peoples generally positive views of the largest land mammal in the world Eastern people often find the animal to be a nuisance highly intelligent elephants have been blamed for revenge killings in Africa and have even drunkenly killed 6 villagers in India's northeast after becoming intoxicated on local rice beer in retaliation the villagers killed up to 200 elephants one human I'd be remiss if humans the mammal at the top of the food chain didn't make this list humans have hated other humans since the dawn of time largely due to competition over food territory and mates there's even a word for a hated disliked or distrust of humankind misanthropy with all the tension going on around the world it seems human human hey May at an all-time high enjoying our lists be sure to click that subscribe button
