Top 5 CUTE Animals That Could Kill You There are so many cute animals out there in
the world- but you know what they say never jusdge a book by its cover… just because
something’s cute that doesn’t mean theyre nice- and that’s what were going to be talking
about today.
Hey youtube im court mcginley and welcome back to the most amazing top 5.
Before we get started I want to know- what animal so you think is the cutest?
Let me know your answers down in the comments.
Also make sure subscribe to our channel if you havnt already and give this video a big
thumbs up.
Alright lets get started on out list of t he top 5 cute animals that could kill you.
Starting off at number 5--Dingo- im sure you all hear the phrase – A ding ate my baby.
And your probably like what the hecks a dingo…well that my friends is a dingo.
Cute arnt they?
They are a type of feral dog that’s native to Australia.
Basically they are half dog- half wolf.
The reason people don’t take in dingos as pets is because for one they are wild animals
and 2 they are naturally very aggressive.
They will often bite humans several times if approached in the wild.
However if unprovoked they pretty much keep to themselves.
At number 4--Bears- theres a reason teddy bears are still to this day the most popular
stuffed animal- and that is because they are so freaking cute.
My favorite childhood bear memory would have to be the Berenstain bears- little bear and
Wally bear from the teddy bears picnic.
But the bears im about to talk about are nothing like those bears.
Out of all bears Grizzlies and Polar bears are the most feared.
But really all large species of bear can potentially be dangerous if provoked.
Researches also found that male bears that are hungry and travelling without their young
are usually the ones that will kill.
But luckily in general you dot need to fear bears.
On average there are just under 3 fatalities a year.
But they still could kill you so watch out.
In at number 3--Leopard seal- Now most people find leopard seals cut but I never have- watching
pebble and the penguin as a child scared e for life.
Editors I put link can you insert 1 min 2 seconds to 1 min 10 seconds.
Yeah not about that.
As you can tell from that clip Leopard seals are at the top of the food chain down in the
Antarctic.
There are powerful and curious creatures that have been known to hunt people.
But as you now know from that clip I showed you they usually target penguins.
But theres been reports filed of these guys attacking humans.
Back in 1985 a Scottish explorer was bitten twice on the leg when a leopard seal tried
to drag him off the ice and then into the sea.
And more recently in 2003 a biologist was snorkeling when a leopard seal dragged her
deep underwater to her death.
at number 2--Elephants- elephants are my favorite.
I love them.
But even they have a bad side.
If elephants are agitated or abused they can become one of the most dangerous creatures
in the world.
Did you guys know that elephants experience unexpected bouts of rage?
Yep its true- and they are known to be quite vindictive.
In India alone hundreds of people are killed by elephants each year.
But this only happens in cases where the elephants are being mistreated.
So the lesson learned here- you be nice to the elephants and the elephants will be nice
to you.
Coming in at our number 1 spot--The slow Loris- these guys are super cute just look at that
face and those big beautiful doe eyes.
Normally these little guys are pretty chill and that’s a good thing because the last
thing youd want to do is get on their bad side.
They are often taken for illegal pet trade but If they feel threatened they can actually
release venom from the side of their elbows. and when this venom is mixed with saliva it
can cause death by anaphylactic shock.
Geez.
The loris warns off predators by biting- hissing and raising its arms above its head.
Some people believe they have evolved over time to mimic the cobra.
And there you have it that’s our list of the top 5 cute animals that could kill you.
