Big cats
They might look like an overgrown version of your pet, but don't forget that you're on the menu of almost all of the wild big cats. In North America, pumas are an occasional threat to lone hikers and small children. But all of the world's big cats — including tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards and cheetahs — can threaten lives if they are mishandled. There are an estimated 15,000 big cats kept captive in the United States, and only a small percentage of them are in accredited zoos.

Who cares if people keep them as pets, it's their life or body to take that risk. Do you know why domestic animals are domestic. Because someone decided to take the animal out of the wild and breed it until it was properly domesticated. They bred the hostility out of it, they bred the docility into it, and they basically selectively bred the animals until they could be owned with minimal danger to the owner.
You know why we probably never domesticated large cats, because even with the.... More
Cheetahs are one of the most tame animals.

Remember who you are."

Thankies for your quote. hahaha so funny, it made me really smile! ^_^
HAHA! That made me laugh so hard! I love that movie!
Most animals are cute but some have to have a bad side to their cuteness.I like it that way Cute and Dangerous at the same time!
Growing up in suburban Jacksonville, FL, some people moved in to a house next door to my best friend, built a huge cage in their back yard, and occupied it with a young Leopard. No kidding. It got out of its cage on three occasions that I know of. Parents in the neighborhood were terrified. Once, while swimming at my best friend's house, we decided to climb up on the wood pile and peak over the fence at the cat in the cage. We couldn't see it in the cage. Then it popped up right in our.... More
What a sad world. Poor leopard. Why do people think it's okay to keep animals in cages? Humans wouldn't like it if it happened to them. Don't anyone dare say houses or work places are cages. We are free to go wherever we want and that leopard should have been free-roaming the wild in Africa.
Go Jacksonville Jaguars!
hasn't the cat got a long neck there in his once-in-a-lifetime pose? they are scary, though and can only be considered cute when they are still kittens... they are gentle and sweet, always scraping their fur on your legs, but it is unimaginable how they grow into fierce clawed hunters matched with fearless inch/es-long teeth.. scary, indeed!!
really a 700lb predator with claws could be dangerous, nah, just like 60 mph bus in your face...harmless
Slow loris bites actually aren't fatal. Most people just experience painful swelling, and even then it's pretty mild and can't kill you.
Anaphylactic shock is just a big fancy term for allergic reaction.
Being allergic to ANYTHING can kill you.
Peanuts are pretty harmless, yeah? No murderous intentions at all, but if a person allergic to them eats them, they can die.
Slow lorises are not a threat to most people. Don't treat them as if they are.
Not only that, but loris' don't gather poison in their mouths intentionally. It occurs from grooming. Once the oils secreted from the glands on their elbows mixes with saliva it Becomes poisonous. Loris' do not leak venom from the elbows.
Wow thanks for the right info!
i have a cat like this in my house
Most of this stuff is really not that cute. But most of them are!
Any way my favorite is a pufferfish!
They are all cute.
All animals are cute.
CUTENESS!!!!!

Behind your comments, please have reasoning other than sarcastic/bias views.
if you dont like the article get over it! why are you reading it and posting comments if you dont like it
Yeah it's not surprising that this puma will shred you, but you can't deny they are cute. This isn't "Most Surprising Animals that are Deadly."
Who'd have thought a creature with razor sharp claws and teeth, built both for speed and silently stalking and pouncing on prey, would be DEADLY?!
Oh, pretty much everyone.
