Kangaroos

Cute as they may seem, you’re not likely to get fluffy warm hugs and cuddles from Kangaroos. You are to expect, though, either a kick, a bite, a punch, or worse, a combo of everything when they see you as a threat. Male kangaroos, for example, fight with other males to assert the ‘ownership’ of the female, and if they can go violent with their fellow kind, humans are no special exception if you meddle with their affairs. Same goes with female Kangaroos carrying joeys in their pouch, they’re too cute but you have to resist approaching them as they will not hold back a fight to keep their little ones safe.

Cone Snails

When will we ever learn to never judge a book by its cover? We know snails are slow and thus can rarely do us any harm, but Cone Snails shouldn’t be overlooked. They have a radicular tooth that can launch like a harpoon, likely to hurt your foot when you step on them. What’s even more alarming is that their stings can be painless and noticeable only until you’ll notice changes in your vision and speech -it may be too late already.
