Cute, but dangerous: several species of animals that can surprise you (15 photos)

Sharp claws of a loris, a frog that can poison a person and other “cute” animals





Looks cute, but stay away from these animals.



The hairy bun is quite dangerous, including for humans

It would seem, how can a small animal harm a person?

But it can! The claws are sharp, and the fangs are generally razor-like.





These animals are best admired from afar. Of course, they won’t eat you, but they can tear or tear off a limb. When necessary, cute but dangerous koalas move with great speed.

Fat loris



The slow loris is the only venomous primate and only one of seven known venomous mammals.



The toxin causes suffocation and death not only in small animals, but also in humans.

You shouldn’t be fooled by their pretty appearance and pet this baby.



Dolphin



Some of the smartest mammals we know.



But you shouldn’t think that these animals are good-natured. Yes, they save people and behave friendly, but not always.



They often have angry outbursts. In their natural environment, these marine inhabitants even attack sharks and sometimes kill their young.

Dolphins can maim victims with their teeth, beat them with their snouts, and leave them for dead.

Apparently, this guy definitely needs to see a psychologist.

Platypus



Aquatic mammal of the order Monotreme, living in Australia. The only species that has a number of reptilian characteristics. Dangerous beast.

When born, platypuses develop a sting that can inject poison. It is connected by a duct to the femoral gland, which produces a dangerous “cocktail” during the mating season.



Males also use these spurs during mating fights.



The poison can kill a dingo or other small animal. For humans, the toxin is not fatal, but if affected, it is better to go to the hospital. If you leave everything as is, the pricked limb will probably have to be amputated later.

Dart frogs



Family of tailless amphibians. Some of the members of the family are among the most poisonous animals on the planet.



As a rule, these are very small creatures, 12-25 mm in size, the largest reaching 60 mm.



Weigh about 2 grams, depending on size. They look cute, but don't relax. This cutie's toxin is enough to kill 10 adults.

As we have learned, appearances are deceiving and under the sheep's clothing there may be a stern, dangerous gray wolf.
