8 Animals That You Had Better Not Touch

eight animals that you had better not touch the world is full of strange and wonderful creatures that can be beautiful interesting and of course deadly the animals that can be dangerous to touch however are not always the ones that you expect everyone knows that you should never try to pet a tiger for example but would you believe that a koala cat or even a chipmunk can be incredibly dangerous to interact with [Music] number one Pinto Hawaii the pizza why is beautiful graceful and quite deadly in fact it's the only bird in the world which is poisonous at least three species of Pitt oh I have powerful neurotoxic a colloidal Erskine and feathers the while it is believed that the pit ahoy birds do not secrete this toxin called batter a toxin themselves it is still unusual to find a poisonous bird it was discovered that pit oh I could be poisonous when in 1989 Jack Dunn Bakker caught a hooded pit away in the process of untangling it from his net he received a scratch when he put his finger in his mouth his tongue and lips went numb this shook the scientific community to its core so if you see any of these stunning creatures flitting around be sure to give them space to [Music] Pepper's flamboyant cuttlefish also known as metasequoia Pfeffer peppers flamboyant cuttlefish is one of the most beautiful creatures in the ocean however it is also one of the only three cephalopod species known to be toxic in fact its venom is toxic as that of a blue ringed octopus this means that Mehta CPF every despite being dainty beautiful and relatively placid is one of the deadliest creatures in the ocean that's right Pepper's flamboyant cuttlefish can deliver a lethal dose of venom to an adult human being with that in mind it's probably best that you don't try to pet this little cutie no matter how lovely they look three siberian chipmunks there are a few animals as cute as the siberian chipmunk but this seriously adorable little mammal is not always the most approachable they are often kept as pets but in the wild these tiny rodents should not be touched above and beyond the fact that they are fighting and easily stressed they have sharp teeth and powerful jaws that can deliver a painful bite furthermore a bite from a wild Siberian chipmunk carries the risk of transmitting multiple infectious diseases including rabies it's wise to stay away from Chipmunks in general because of their sharp teeth but this breed in particular is a huge danger you should never ever try to pet a wild Siberian chipmunk for slow loris slow lorises are small primates with large eyes and very cute faces they are so precious that there are those who smuggle these delicate primates into their homes as exotic pets what most people don't know however is the fact that the slow loris is the only venomous primate in the world I don't know that's right these cute doe-eyed primates can kill you with a single bite they suck poison out of their elbow before they bite in order to administer a toxin that can cause anaphylactic shock so even though they look cuddling we would recommend that you admire the slow loris from afar [Music] five giant pandas the giant panda is without a doubt the most iconic and beloved member of the bear family they are a symbol of conservationists and animal lovers all around the world but giant pandas are also very dangerous the giant panda has in fact one of the strongest pounds per square inch bite forces in the whole animal kingdom a giant panda could actually bite through a human limb with ease which makes it a cute cuddly potentially lethal teddy bear that should not be petted under any circumstances six koalas koalas really had the life that we all want a busy schedule of sleeping and eating interrupted by occasional moves from tree to tree these cute mammals are iconic and pretty much synonymous with Australia sleeping 22 hours per day in the Sun and snacking on eucalyptus leaves which have a slightly opaque effect makes these creatures docile however koalas do have incredibly sharp front incisors and have been known to attack dogs and even people if and when they feel threatened 7 Glaucus atlanticus blackest atlanticus are tiny pastel coloured iridescent slugs which have been nicknamed both blue angels and blue dragons they grow to about one-and-a-half inches in length and look a little too pretty to be real they are real however and they look like fantastic creatures from an anime nonetheless handling these sparkly little creatures is not a wise decision each of their tentacle-like limbs contains cells which can administer a painful sting furthermore these stings can actually prove fatal they can trigger anaphylactic shock as well as other negative side effects when you think about this fact the nickname blue dragons seems far more appropriate and number eight sand cat sand cats are adorable this is just a fact feline lovers all over the world adore these wild kitties and why wouldn't it they are soft fluffy graceful and live wild in desert areas where they feed on birds small insects and venomous snakes furthermore these small feisty cats have a bite force greater than that of a cheetah that means that they can easily break bones and with those razor-sharp teeth they can inflict real damage - like most cats sand cats did not like to be handled over mush and so we would definitely recommend that you do not try to approach or touch them if you see some in the wild if you want to know more about the weird and wonderful creatures of the planet
