Cute, but Deadly Animals
1) Swans. When you see two swans together, it is natural to think of love because swans represent the notion of love. What makes animals so dangerous? Swans have extremely protective instincts of their babies. When a swan feels their young is being threatened, they will attack. Unlike other birds, these beautiful creatures do not walk away from a fight. For a swan, it is a fight to the death, either theirs or yours.
2) Elephants. Most of the time Elephants are gentle, friendly creatures but even Dumbo can have its bad day. When an Elephant gets upset, even for the slightest reasons, it can kill. A simple kick would be enough to kill any human.
3) Hippopotamus. Cute as these animals are with their adorable ears, and sweet temper, these ferocious creatures can become extremely territorial. Like many animals in the animal kingdom, hippos will kill anyone that invades their territorial.
4) Polar Bears. With that snowy, white fur, it is hard not to love a polar bear, but like any other bear, they are still carnivores. These beautiful animals are known to kill 20-90 people a year.
5) Bottlenose Dolphin. How can anything so cute be dangerous? If you ever had a chance to go SeaWorld to pet, and feed, the dolphins you would think that these animals should not be on the list. Not only that but dolphins are known to save humans who have gotten lost in the ocean. So why are these beautiful creatures so dangerous to humans? Dolphins have an uncharacteristic sexual appetite and have been known try to rape humans. Males humans have also been killed by dolphins after they were seen as sexual competition.
Now that you know what the top cute, but deadly animals are you may want to think twice before getting to close to them. As cute as they are, these animals can easily kill you without even thinking about it.

Post a CommentDolphins are my favorite animal, and I had a chance to go to Seaworld this past fall. While there I got to feed them, and pet them. I was scared to death. Beautiful but deadly.
I never thought about Koala's. They are cute, adorably so. You are right Catherine, cute does not equal nice.
This makes me think of the koala bear when I was in Australia. They have signs posted warning people of how dangerous they can be. Cute doesn't = nice! :)
Wow. I'm especially shocked over the dolphins.
Thank you, Sherri
great information, thank you!
