Monkeys and apesThese animals are most similar to humans, creating a natural bond and some pitfalls as well. Some diseases carried by monkeys and apes can be easily transmitted to humans. Even a small monkey can bite, potentially transmitting a virus like hepatitis C. Larger apes, such as chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas are powerful animals capable of mauling a human if they feel threatened.

We Humans are the most dangerous
The liberal agenda! Good lord!
There used to be a show on animal planet that was deadliest warrior with animals. They would test things like bite force or how fast the animal could move. A few matchups were gorilla vs. leopard, shark vs. saltwater crocodile, shark vs. hippo, and polar bear vs. walrus.
They put the hippo as winning against the shark, go hiphoppapotamus
what the heck does PETA stand for?
Enter your comments here The letters PETA stand for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. In my opinion, the organization is way over the top of reality. They are just too too for me.
I have always been an advocate for animals and children and as an environmental education specialist I have had plenty of opportunity to help people understand how important animals and plants and other people are. This is not to ignore mineral parts of the earth, either, but for my thinking, PETA is way.... More
The rat? They're cute, but one bite from them could give you rabies and plus they harbor fleas and fleas carry lot's of diseases. The deer? A male deer can kill a child. Hyenas? They're adorable, but they can kill you. And how about killer whales? The goose? They will chase you and rip off your face. The bat? They carry SARS. A fox? They carry rabies.... the the list of unamed animals is endless.....
Rodents can't carry rabies. They sure can bite though. You may end up needing a tetanus shot....thats about the worst of it....
If you've ever been attacked by a goose, you know that they can't tear your face off. They're weak and slow.
Geese don't have teeth. I had one bite my finger but it was harmless. There's no way they could rip your face off.
Your goose must have been baby goose, because anyone who knows anything about geese knows that they can get very big and teeth or not when provoked or if they are just in a bad mood they can really hurt a person, especially children, and if it is more then one attacking you granted they may not kill you but when thery are done with you, you may wish they had! They are mean and dangerous and should be treated with caution. Granted some can be tame and harmless, but they are very much aware that.... More
Geese are mainly harmless. You'd have to be a complete wimp with a serious case of anemia for a goose to even phase you
Since when has a platupus or a croc been cute????????????????????????????????????Enter your comments here
Come on all of you!! Does it really matter? These animals are capable of killing you, and not all of them are cute, but are you all really going to fight about it?
What about a hyena? I would want one for a pet.
If it feels threatened, it can/and will out run you and use it's super strength to kill you. It can kill lions.. and people.
YOU forgot the Hippo...those animals will wipe you out.
*kil people*
*kill people*
what about crocs? they may not kkipeople that often but some,lik a saltwate coc could easly kill somone.
since when are crocs cute? there are a lot of animals that can kill that aren't on this list - great white sharks, rattle snakes...this article was about animals that look innocent, but can be deadly.
did you even look at what you typed before you posted it? what the hell is kkipeople, lik, saltwate, & coc?
Hope that last word didn't end with a k. HAHAH

Amen, Kat. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. By the way, did we ever find out what those apparent words actually were supposed to be?????
i got hepatitis C once... but it wasn't from a monkey bite.
Ever heard of a Platypus
Have any of you read "The Lowest Animal" by Mark Twain? It's an interesting peice of satire about this exact topic. Personally, I prefer the Native American's point of view: we are all brothers and sisters. Of course that won't keep me from eating them or protecting myself as necessary.
Really, Gila Monsters and Poison Dart Frogs look tasty?
To all of you people who think these animals are "Tasty", you are the reason so many of these beautiful animals are going extinct.Why don't you all go to a library and check out one of those books for preschoolers about animals and start educating yourself.
Cute? Debatable.
Delicious? Probably.
Do I want to find out? Heck yes.
1) only half of this animals are actually cute
2)only half these animals will actually kill you. the other half will only kill you if they feel threatened
I guess some of these animals ARE cute, but they ALL look pretty Tasty!!!
Most of these animals can kill us but dont unless we threaten them first.For example my husband has encounterd moose in the wild several times, not once did one attack. My husband posed no threat to them. One was a mother with her baby, yes she was on her guard but did not attack. Were do we have the right to kill of a species because we are afraid? Educate yourselfs, learn how to prevent an attack or what to do in case of an attack.And if you are really that scared dont go into the.... More
I would just say leave them alone. Now if I'm minding my own business and a bear comes charging toward me and my family. I'm thinking it's my family or the bear well guess what? The bear is going down!! LOL!!
just throw me in a body bubble and i'll be fine
PETA! PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS! or in this case animals eating tasty people... =D
the only reason you say things like that is because you're trying to be "tough" or "manly"
you know that's not what PETA stands for, so just cut it out, if you were a civilized person you'd learn to accept people and not make fun of them cause they choose not to murder and eat the flesh of dead animals, so please, grow up and shut the f*ck up. thank you and have a nice life.
That comment was just as immature as the main one.
Oh, poor, anonymous, quit being a crybaby. "Late for Work" is funny, you are just plain uptight. Go cuddle a cute little animal and make yourself feel better.
How do you think everyone made it hundreds of years ago? Do you honestly believe that people shouldn't eat meat. If so, pull you head out of your ***. To hell with PETA and all you tree hugging queers. Now excuse me, I have a hog in the bed of the truck, that I gotta go cut up. You have a wonderful day. - Southern Pride
Hey, this is in response to Southern Pride's post. What exactly is it that makes you say things like tree hugging queers? I love the environment but I am not "queer" and I do not like being called a "tree hugger". Your attitude and comments suggest that you believe it is "manly" to allow our fellow humans to wreck the environment, like it is the right of the human race to destroy the life around us. I do not believe that people shouldn't eat meat because that has been essential to our diet.... More
Hunting is extremely gratifying and sportsmanlike. If you use a bow... But, that's beside the point. There's absolutely nothing wrong with killing an animal and eating it. Every carnivore does it. There's really no argument against it... unless you don't like the taste of meat or you just can't manage to pull the dildo out of you *******.
Yea...PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Any dog that's not a pitbull

Maybe you should take your own advice, employ a little civility and respect someone else’s point of view. Dropping
F-bombs and calling this man as a loser is not going to make anyone sympathetic to your cause. He was joking. Get over yourself.
I'm assuming you're the kind of person that would yell at Obama for swatting that fly? Have you not heard a joke since your childhood? But you're right, this person is obviously making fun of people, not making an innocent, playful poke at PETA.
I've seen 15 pictures of butt-ugly, God forsaken sacks of horrifying sh- *cough* anyway, this may be the only animal I would actually label "cute". And as far as I know, it could be DELICIOUS!
put the gila in a cage with the elephant and the dart frog and see who wins! then put all of them in together and see what happens!!!!! maybe the jaguar and the grizzly in a "forrested" fight??
Interesting idea, about having a tournament. PETA ppl would have a field day with that though!
duh, because we as the "higher species" should be more civilized than to force "lower species" into fighting and killing each other for our own enjoyment. do we really have to act like savages?
We call it football.
