From blood-squirting lizards to deceivingly cute killer sea otters, here are 13 strange
and terrifying facts about animals that’ll send a shiver down your spine.
The golden poison dart frog is the size of a paperclip...
but don’t be deceived by its tiny size!
Its skin is coated in a lethal toxin that leaves the nerves and muscles of its victims inactive, leading to death.
This little frog contains about one milligram of poison, enough to kill 10 - 20 humans if the poison reaches their bloodstreams.
The dominant female meerkat in a clan controls breeding and kills the young of those that
aren’t her own, ensuring that her own offspring has the best chance of survival.
The platypus is an odd creature: it looks like the hairy love child of a duck and a beaver.
The male platypus has half-inch poisonous spurs located on the inner side of each back ankle.
Scientists believe that males use these spurs to compete with rivals during the breeding season.
A kick from one of these bad boys is potent enough to kill small animals and cause intense pain in humans.
While the pufferfish might've made a cute cameo in Finding Nemo, the marine species is actually quite dangerous.
If eaten, these inflatable animals are toxic—1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide, to be exact.
The largest box jellyfish is common to Australia’s northern oceans (lucky us) and its sting can
cause cardiac arrest in its victims.
With tentacles that can grow up to three metres, it’s probably not ideal to go swimming with
these horrors during the summer holidays.
While they might look beautiful, cone snails have one of the world’s most painful and fatal ‘stings’.
They fire a harpoon that can cause muscle paralysis and respiratory failure.
Nicknamed the ‘cigarette snail’, its victims are said to only have enough time to smoke a cigarette before death.
Yep, you read that right.
More people die annually from getting kicked or stepped on by a cow.
Also, it’s said that cows all over the world, simultaneously face the same direction while grazing.
How’s that for a conspiracy theory?
Female black widow spiders will often eat their male partner while mating
There have been reports that these lovable sea otters are serial harassers.
Male sea otters have been known to assault and even kill seal pups.
When males copulate, they’ll grab the female and aggressively bite her face.
Not really the perfect date.
Aptly named vampire bats, the most common one feeds solely on the blood of mammals, including humans.
They’ll identify a warm spot on your skin to bite then create an incision with their
razor-sharp teeth, lapping up the blood from the wound.
Best to stay out of dark alley ways at night
Can you imagine waking up one day, looking in the mirror, and seeing that your tongue
had been eaten and replaced by a sinister-looking parasite?
That's exactly what the tongue-eating louse does to fishes.
Cymothoa exigua, is a parasite that latches onto a fish’s tongue and feeds on the blood vessels.
Eventually, the tongue falls off and the parasite attaches itself to what’s left and becomes the fish's new tongue.
Isn't nature wonderful?
At least eight species of horned lizard can aim and squirt blood from their eyes.
They restrict the blood flow to their head until the pressure builds up, rupturing the
vessels in their eyelids.
They do this as a defense mechanism to confuse their predators.
Freaky!
With over 7.4 billion people and counting,the human population is putting immense pressure
on our planet as demand for the Earth’s natural resources grows.
According to the World Health Organization, one person is murdered every 60 seconds—and there is no animal
in the wild to ever come close to such a number.
Now that’s a horrific statistic.
