10 Deadliest Animals You Should Never Touch
You can look, but please, never ever touch these animals, that is if you don’t want to prematurely meet your maker. From a cute but deadly mammal to the an extremely deadly fish that isn’t a shark, here are 10 of the deadliest animals you should never touch.
Number 10. The Slow Loris
Those beautiful eyes will make you fall in love with Slow Loris. They are a kind of nocturnal animal found in Southeast Asia and nearby regions. Don’t let their big round eyes and soft fur fool you. They are one of the most venomous mammals in the world.
The Slow Loris excretes a special type of venom from its elbows. This venom, when mixed with the loris’s saliva, becomes a highly toxic concoction that is very dangerous when it gets into the bloodstream. When threatened, the slow loris takes a mouthful of this toxin, then proceeds to bite its attacker. And when it bites, it’s usually game over for the victim.
Poison notwithstanding, there are a lot of people who keep them as pets, feeding a huge demand for them in the pet black-market. They are hunted and put in inhuman conditions. To avoid poisonous bites, some people remove their teeth as well. The thing is, getting rid of the teeth is not a way to get rid completely from the poisonous effects. They cause anaphylactic shocks in humans which is, needless to say, not really a good thing.
Number 9. The Fire Salamander
The fire salamander is an amphibian mostly found in European countries. They are famous for their superb black and yellow coloration, although some specimens also have shades of red and orange. They can live for up to 50 years and all these characteristics make people think that they are awesome pets to have. In fact, there are already people who do have them as pets. The thing is, taking in this creature as a pet is equivalent to petting an angry diamondback rattlesnake under its chin.
The skin of this animal is covered with a toxin which it secretes from glands located just under the skin. This toxin is extremely toxic and when ingested attacks the victim’s central nervous system directly and can cause a variety of problems, which includes uncontrollable muscle convulsions and hypertension. Needless to say, the toxin is extremely harmful to humans.
In the animal kingdom, bright colorations usually is a sign of danger, and this fact can’t be true enough for this dangerous amphibian.
Number 8. The Wolverine
If you didn’t know what a wolverine was, I bet you would be tempted to pick it up or cuddle with it when you see it. They are found in large numbers in Northern Canada and Alaska. Although these fuzzy animals look like teddy bears, they are not as cute as they look! They are very strong and aggressive carnivores with a vice-like bite and sharp claws.
They are capable of attacking animals larger than itself, and yes, that includes humans. Their jaws and sharp claws make them more than a match for any creature. They prey on a vast array of animals ranging from small squirrels and rabbits to moose and even elk. And of course, they will attack humans if they get provoked.
There are documented cases where these animals were taken in as pets only to attack their owners later on, even though they were reared by humans since they were cubs. Truly, you can take an animal out of the wild, but you can never truly eliminate the wild out of an animal.
Number 7. The Black-footed Cat
The deadliest cat on Earth isn't a shaggy-maned lion, a sleek leopard or a stealthy tiger. It's a wee cat that you've probably never heard of: Africa's smallest feline, the black-footed cat.
Native to the grasslands of southern Africa, the black-footed cat has an endearingly round face and a light brown, black-spotted body that is small even compared to domestic cats. The wild feline measures only 14 to 20 inches long, stands about 8 inches tall and weighs about 2 to 6 pounds.
Admittedly, those measurements don't sound very impressive when compared to the sizable big cats that are among the world's most fearsome predators. But despite its small size, the black-footed cat hunts and brings down more prey in a single night than a leopard does in six months.
