- [Narrator] Looks can be very deceiving. Beneath the extreme
cuteness of the animals in this video lies something sinister, something that can harm you, or worse, outright kill you if you're not careful. You better be on the lookout for these twenty cutest animals
that can actually kill you. (quirky music) Number 20, honey badger. Contrary to their name,
honey badgers are not sweet, they are vicious. Touted as the, World's
Most Fearless Creature, honey badgers are willing to take on animals twice
their size, including lions. And yes, humans are not exempt. When threatened, they will readily attack and bite into any aggressor
with its sharp teeth. And it will not bite just any part, it goes straight for an attacker's balls. Its main tactic is to
castrate its attacker and wait for it to bleed to death. Ouch. So yeah, better pack an athletic cup if you intend to meet this
monstrous creature in the wild. Number 19, giant anteater. With its cartoonishly long
snout and droopy little face, you may wonder how an
anteater could possibly harm other animals, let alone humans. Well, you might want to take a look at its giant claws. While they're mainly used
to rip apart anthills and termite nests, they can also be used to disembowel larger predators
such as jaguars and pumas, and humans as well. Don't believe me? Then why was this jaguar so scared? Giant anteaters are
generally docile and passive, but if you dare threaten
their peaceful existence, you better watch out. Its giant claws may be the
last thing you will ever see. Number 18, beaver. Beavers may look cute and cuddly, but don't let their
innocent looks fool you, as they're highly
aggressive and territorial. Their razor-sharp buck teeth are not just for gnawing trees and building dams, they can also be used
to chew through skin, causing massive bleeding. In fact, one fisherman in Belarus died after a beaver bit his thigh which pierced through his femoral artery, resulting in immediate
blood loss and death. The cause of the attack? The fisherman just wanted to
take a picture of the beaver. Maybe the outcome would
have been different if he asked for permission first. Number 17, magpie. Short and small in stature, surely a magpie can't hurt anything? But in Australia, these birds
are considered a menace, posing harm and danger to anyone who comes into their vicinity. Highly territorial and fierce, magpies will dive bomb anyone
who they deem as a threat to their nest, causing bruises, scars, and even eye injuries. It's become so problematic that the government have
put up warning posters where magpies frequently attack in order to reduce injuries. They even made a website
for it, wherein victims of magpie attacks can
narrate their experiences. If you're planning to visit Australia, you better check if it's magpie season. You wouldn't want your
vacation ruined thanks to a common bird. Number 16, sand cat. Sand cats may look like
your average house cat, but make no mistake,
these cats are dangerous and are cut out for the wild. As their name implies, sand
cats live in desert areas, where they feed on small insects, birds, and venomous snakes. You heard that right, venomous snakes are part of their diet, so these cats are clearly
not to be trifled with. To give you an idea of just
how dangerous they can be, a cheetah's bite force
quotient measures at 119, whereas a sand cat has a
bite force quotient of 136. Can you imagine getting
bitten by a sand cat? You'd probably die due to their cuteness, or blood loss, whichever comes first. Number 15, Koala. With their baby-like appearance, it's no surprise that koalas are adored. But like other animals in this video, koalas can be ferocious. With their sharp teeth and claws, they pose a real threat to
anyone who comes across them. Take the experience of Mary
Anne Forster for example, who was attacked by an koala
while walking her two dogs. The koala bit her left leg violently, resulting in an inch-long gash
that required 12 stitches. While it was believed that
her dogs provoked the koala into attacking, Australian locals advise to stay away from koalas
as much as possible, unless you want your legs
to be torn apart by them. Number 14, leopard seal. Seals can often be seen in water shows, playing along with their trainers and captivating the
hearts of the audience. However, seals are wild animals
that should not be provoked. Leopard seals are one of the top predators in the Antarctic region. They're majestic sea creatures
with ruthlessness rivaled only by killer whales. Their jaws are extremely powerful, allowing them to bite huge
chunks off their prey. They are so powerful, they
can drag a full grown adult to the depths of the sea, leaving them with no hope of escaping. If you happen to chance upon one, better look at them from afar, their menacing grins are
definitely not to be trusted! Number 13, bottlenose dolphin. Another common feature of water shows, bottlenose dolphins are
often portrayed as playful, lovable underwater creatures. But in truth, they're far from gentle, as they're incredibly
aggressive and violent. In fact, marine experts deem them to be, cold-blooded killers, as
they are willing to maim, or even kill, anyone
that gets in their way, including their young. Humans are no less of a target for them, as they will lash out
their tails and bite them, often for no reason. So if you're lucky enough to encounter a bottlenose
dolphin in the wild, think twice about swimming with them or you may end up
swimming with the fishes. Number 12, giant panda. Often regarded as a
symbol of love and peace, giant pandas have the adoration of people everywhere
thanks to their cuddly and gentle appearance. Unfortunately, they're
anything but cuddly and gentle. They're highly territorial and vicious, and those unfortunate enough
to come into contact with them in the wild will
inevitably get hurt, a lot. Giant pandas can severely injure humans with their pointed
canines and sharp claws. And despite their bulky appearance, they're incredibly agile
and efficient swimmers, so trying to run away
from them would be futile. Remember, giant pandas are
closely related to bears, meaning it would be wise
to treat them like one. Number 11, wombat. Short-legged, pudgy, and cute, these words best describe a wombat. They also happen to have the
second highest danger rating in Australia, which pretty much invalidates
the previous sentence. Like all wild animals, the wombat can be ferocious
when encountered in the wild. Its bulky build allows it to topple and overpower its predators, as well as unsuspecting humans who they often deem as intruders. Sharp incisors and equally
sharp claws also come with the package, resulting
in victims getting bruises and gashes all around their body. Best to stay away from wombat burrows, because these cute critters mean business! Number 10, shrew. Having an incredibly miniature size and lacking any distinguishing features, it's hard to believe that shrews
can be dangerous to anyone. But regardless of their size, shrews can be a formidable foe, as they're one of the few mammals
that pack a venomous bite. Incredibly lethal to
rodents and other animals, a shrew's bite can
incapacitate an adult man, resulting in burning sensations and swelling on afflicted areas. While not lethal, it can
produce debilitating pain that can last for days. Shrews may be small, but
they can be as troublesome as other animals in this
video, so be very careful when handling these
adorably cute creatures. Number nine, duck-billed platypus. With its awkward-looking appearance, the duck-billed platypus
can be quite cute, if viewed at the right angle. Initially believed to
be an elaborate hoax, the duck-billed platypus
possesses features that are prominent on other animals. What is not a hoax, however, is that they're one of the few mammals, alongside with shrews, that
are considered venomous. Hidden beneath its hind legs
is a spur laced with poison, which is potent enough
to kill small animals and rival platypuses. While their poison cannot kill humans, it can cause massive pain
to afflicted areas and, in worse cases, paralyze
the limb permanently. Fortunately, only male
platypuses are venomous, so if you happen to come across one, you better hope it is not
a very aggressive male! Number eight, swan. Usually found relaxing
on rivers and lakes, swans can be seen as
calm, docile creatures. But pose a threat to them and you'll be in for a world of hurt. Swans are highly aggressive
and very territorial, especially during mating season. With a wing span of up to 2.4 meters and a weight reaching up to 13 kilograms, this bird is a heavyweight, able to take on grown men with ease. Swans are so powerful, that according to one reported incident, they were able to capsize a boat and drown the victim by
actively blocking him from swimming towards the shore. Brutal. Fortunately, attacks
like this are very rare, unless you provoke them
when it's mating season. You definitely would not want to do that. Number seven, porcupine. With a face that says pet me, it's hard to resist adoring
such a cute creature. But as I've said time and again, looks can be very deceiving. Porcupines' bodies are mainly covered with soft hair mixed with quills. Once agitated, their quills
become dangerously sharp and are able to penetrate through skin, deterring predators from approaching them. These same quills can pose
a risk to humans as well, as not only are they painful, they can also cause severe infections if not treated immediately. Porcupines are generally fearful, so approach them with care and you might be rewarded with
a cute and playful creature. Number six, sea otter. Donning an endearing appearance
and playful by nature, sea otters are touted as cats of the sea. But unlike the domesticated cats we know, sea otters are dangerous creatures, able to go toe-to-toe with
alligators once aggressed. They're extremely territorial and will harm any intruder
that may pose a threat to their cubs. Such is the case with two teenagers after a family of sea
otters attacked them, resulting in multiple bite
injuries to their necks and legs. Although attacks like this are very rare, experts advise to stay away from waters where sea otters are prevalent, or you may end up getting mauled by one. Number five, dingo. Having a strikingly
similar appearance to dogs, you can quite easily mistake
a dingo for a cute house pet. But contrary to their appearance, dingoes are cut out for the wild. Dingoes can be highly aggressive, especially when they're
defending their young. They're not afraid to venture
on human territory however, especially when they're in need of food. And according to one documented report, a dingo nabbed a 13-month old baby, which was fortunately rescued hours later. As much as you may be tempted
to pet them, try not to. Dingoes are not afraid to bite the hand that
feeds them, literally. Number four, golden dart frog. If there's one thing you should
remember from biology class, it's that bright-colored
creatures are highly poisonous, which rings true for the golden dart frog. Sporting a bright yellow color, this petite creature packs a
poison that is potent enough to kill 10 adult men. It's so poisonous, that a
small drop of their poison, less than a 20th of a milliliter, is enough to paralyze or even
kill an animal or a person. Golden dart frogs may be
beautiful and fascinating, but it'd be wise to stay away from one should you
encounter such a creature. Number three, Gila monster. Giant lizards are
generally feared by many, but the Gila monster has a
rather charming appearance that can melt your heart. Beneath its endearing appearance, however, is a beast that can make you
experience excruciating pain when provoked. Gila monsters generally
use their venomous bite on aggressors, clamping down on them to make sure that its venom
seeps into the victim's wounds. And while its poison is
non-fatal towards humans, its bite can debilitate
a fully-grown adult, causing swelling, nausea, and in worse cases, high blood pressure. Pretty sure you would
not want a giant lizard clamping down your arm
for more than 15 minutes, so its recommended to
stay far away from them. Number two, puffer fish. Other than the goldfish, there's no fish that is as
cute as the puffer fish. But if looks could kill, this
fish would have killed you, around 30 times over. The puffer fish is one of
the most poisonous creatures on the planet, carrying
poison 1200 times more potent than potassium cyanide. When faced with danger,
it quickly expands itself, revealing hidden spikes that
can deliver fatal poison to anyone who touches it. The poison remains in its
body after it has died, which can cause lethal food poisoning for anyone who dares to eat
this highly poisonous fish. Suffice to say, the
puffer fish will kill you, regardless of them being dead or alive. Before I reveal the most

arms, and a playful nature, it's impossible to resist the
cuteness of the slow loris, that is, until you learn the
fact that it can kill you. Yes, this cute and lovable primate is a
highly venomous animal. When threatened, its
elbows release a toxin which it can ingest, allowing them to bite and inflict poisonous
wounds on any aggressor. Said toxin can cause paralysis or even death to the unfortunate victim. Perhaps this fact might deter pet traders from marketing these poor
slow lorises as a pet. After all, they are not suitable pets. Just because some creatures are cute does not mean they're harmless, so you better think twice about petting any animal
you encounter in the wild. Which one surprised you the most? And, do you know of any other cute animals that we could have mentioned? Let me know in the comments down below! Thanks for watching. (upbeat music)
