- Oh I sure do love the zoo!
Look at the cute little pandas.
I'm gonna get a little closer.
Come here your little-- (crunching)
Ah, it bit my face!
You know, this world is filled with
all kinds of dangerous animals,
that I don't need to tell you.
However, what I do need to tell you is
Most of the animals that you think are cute and cuddly and
just adorable, can actually kill you.
(growling)
Here are 10 Adorable Animals That Can Kill You, Part Two.
(growling)
Number 10 are dingoes.
(growling)
"That dingo's got my baby" was a famous phrase uttered by
Lindy Chamberlain in 1982, who claimed that a wild dog
stole her nine-week-old baby right out of
her tent in the Australian Outback.
Authorities thought Chamberlain was lying and
she was convicted of killing her child and
sentenced to life in prison.
That was, until, part of the baby's jacket was
discovered four years later in a dingo's lair.
Chamberlain's sensational story became A Cry In The Dark,
a film starring Oscar-winner Meryl Streep in 1988.
Despite this gruesome tale, most dingoes do not prey on
human babies and are actually shy and timid of most humans.
However, all the same, Australian authorities
still have to remind people that these are wild animals,
not just cute dogs and urge a lot of caution,
especially when around children and never to feed them.
Look at this cute little Australian doggy,
I'm gonna pet him. (crunching)
I lost my hand.
(growling)
Number nine are cows.
(mooing)
(growling)
(grunting) More murder.
Cows are so darn cute.
Especially little baby calves.
However, they'll kill ya.
The bovine has helped human civilization develop
as a beast of burden, provider of milk,
and keep us warm in the winter,
and looking sharp in our Gucci boots,
unless you're a vegan, in which case that's murder.
But cows, especially bulls, can be
deadly to humans who mess with them.
Like bull fighters who taunt the poor creatures
with red flags and swords and sometimes
end up on the business end of their horns.
Olé!
Attendees of the Running of the Bulls that kicks off the
San Fermín Festival, in Pamplona, Spain,
have been gorged, trampled, and impaled,
with 15 recorded deaths since they
began keeping records back in 1924.
Now, bulls are obvious,
but in case you're wondering how cows can kill you,
well, if you ever go cow-tipping and one falls on you
(laughs) you deserve it.
(growling)
Number eight are squirrels.
(growling)
Visit any park in North America and you're likely to
encounter a collection of cute, bushy-tailed
little rodents gathering acorns and performing
acrobatic leaps from tree to tree.
Now, most squirrels are harmless and
have adapted to living amongst and, often,
off of humans, and delight us with their antics.
Now, that's all well and good.
However, there are some instances where
squirrels can carry rabies and have been known to
attack and bite humans when you least suspect it.
Imagine being on a picnic date at the park.
"Oh baby, you look so nice.
"You want some cheese?
"I have rabies."
Typically, when this happens, it's one lone-wolf squirrel,
like the one in Marin County in Northern California,
who supposedly attacked eight people in three weeks
back in 2015 with bites and scratches.
Wildlife experts indicate that humans feeding
these wild animals is what causes the
brazen and aggressive behavior.
So put away those Funyuns, it's makin' the squirrels crazy.
(growling)
Number seven is the puffer fish.
(water flowing)
(growling)
The puffer fish, sometimes called the blowfish,
looks innocent enough when it's deflated.
You know, just your average little fishy smilin',
swimmin' around, it's lovely.
It swims around eating various invertebrates and algae.
That is, until it's threatened and then inflates
to two to three times its normal size with water and air.
Ah, it's just a regular day, shark!
But this isn't just for show, as the puffer fish's body is
brimming with tetrodotoxin,
a foul tasting and lethal toxin,
1200 times stronger than cyanide.
There's enough in each puffer fish to kill 30 adult humans.
But that being said, in Japan, brave foodies will
pay ridiculous sums of money in order to eat puffer fish,
which they call fugu, cut with precision by
only the most experience and
highly trained sushi chefs in the world.
Oh, but as long as an experienced chef is cutting it.
Nope, 23 people have been known to
die in Japan from poorly cut fugu.
Which makes this one a delicacy that I'm happy to blow off.
Pardon the pun.
(growling)
Number six are giant panda's.
(growling)
Panda, panda, panda, panda, panda, panda, panda.
Giant panda's are one of China's great symbols.
With those kind, docile-looking
faces in a big, cuddly package.
But this carnivore with an over-active sex drive is
no teddy bear and can kill you with its bite,
one of the highest pounds per square inch
bite forces in the animal kingdom.
It developed this through evolution
to chew through bamboo stalks.
So it's just gonna bite through your arm like a twig.
Just as Zang Zinyan, who drank four large beers and
decided to have a one-on-one encounter with
a giant panda at the Beijing Zoo.
He jumped into Gu Gu the giant panda's enclosure,
just to show off to some friends and show off he did.
As you could imagine, he startled Gu Gu just a little bit,
who attacked Zang, nearly biting his right leg off.
But Zang was feeling no pain that day
and it Gu Gu right back before he was
rescued from the pen and later hospitalized.
That takes a lot of cojones when a giant panda bear
bites you and you're like, yeah take this. (crunching)
Kids, don't bite animals,
and don't jump into their enclosures at all.
How bout just stay away from bears in general.
(growling)
Number five are polar bears.
(growling)
Oh God, speaking of bears.
As it turns out, Coca-Cola has us all fooled that
polar bears just want to plop down on an iceberg and
watch Northern Lights while sipping on a refreshing Coke.
But yeah, actually, they're the largest land predators,
along with grizzly bears, and prey on
fish, seals, walruses, and whales,
but have also been known to actively hunt humans.
Now luckily, these solitary creatures are
isolated in the most desolate and
extremely cold places in the Arctic.
But with climate change on the
rise and their habitat threatened,
they're more likely to encounter more humans.
In August of 2011, British teenager,
Horatio Chapple, was part of the
British School's Exploring Society trip on a
Norwegian glacier.
That's where he was mauled to death by a polar bear,
while four others were injured.
And on top of that, the group had to shoot the bear and
were evacuated by helicopter to the hospital for treatment.
Maybe he was drinking Coca-Cola and the polar bear was like,
(breathes deeply) "I'm gonna have some of that."
(growling)
Number four are orangutans.
(growling)
Orangutans with their cute, orange hair, are the closest
DNA match to humans in the animal kingdom.
Due to deforestation, the illegal pet trade,
and bushmeat hunting, orangutans can only be
found on the islands of Borneo and Northern Sumatra,
where their habitat is contracting to a breaking point.
Known affectionately as the old man of the forest,
the largest of all of the arboreal animals are
the gentlest of all the apes.
But their hairy arms' wingspan can stretch for
up to 2.44 meters and are very
strong from swinging from the trees.
But in 2012, an orangutan tribe fought back against
palm oil plantation workers, knocking a man named
Kernadi out, and biting him in retaliation for
beating and shooting them with air guns.
So they're cute and gentle until you provoke them,
in which case they're like (grunting)
I eat you! (growling)
Number three are koalas
(growling)
Can I just ask, are there any animals in
Australia that don't want to kill you?
Even the koala, the cuddly vegetarian down under,
have been known to attack humans when they feel threatened.
Now, koalas usually stick to a busy schedule of
sleeping 22 hours a day in trees,
occasionally only interrupting that sleep for
snacking on eucalyptus leaves.
The eucalyptus leaves, of course, also
having a slightly narcotic effect,
making koalas stoned and even more docile.
But South Australian woman Mary Anne Forster
learned the hard way that even the
snuggliest marsupial can become a
viscous demon in November of 2014.
That's when a koala sunk it's razor-sharp
front incisors right into MS. Forster's leg when
she tried to protect her dogs.
The Australian woman had to pry the
koala's teeth open to release her leg and
hobbled two kilometers home before finally rushing to the
hospital where she required 12 stitches.
Okay, I have seen people cuddle these things,
and I am never doing that.
That's why I like sloths so much,
they're too slow to actually hurt you.
Sloths can bite you too?
They have razor-sharp teeth also?
Mess you up? Okay.
Well, nothing's safe.
(growling)
Number two is the slow loris.
(growling)
The slow loris's anime-sized eyes command you to hug it,
but don't, because they secret a
venom from the underside of their arms.
Oh yeah, you wanna go?
Check that out.
These arboreal primates all hail from Southeast Asia,
and come in four different versions,
all from the Nycticebus genus.
The slow loris's brachial glands produce an
allergen that's similar to the Fel d 1 that
causes severe reactions in people with cat allergies.
And the disturbing thing is how it's transmitted,
which is via their needle-like dental combs
which can cause anaphylactic shock.
Now they're called slow, not as an insult, but
because they sleep all day hidden in trees and
move deliberately at night, only a step or two ahead of
predators like pythons, eagles and orangutans.
Slow lorises are one of the most
coveted animals in the illegal pet trade
because they're so cuddly-looking.
But trust me, they're best enjoyed at zoos or
from the safety of your computer screen,
kinda like right now!
(growling)
And number one is the blue-ringed octopus.
(growling)
Oh boy, this one.
The blue-ringed octopus is one of the deadliest
animals in the sea with a venom so poisonous,
one could kill 10 large men.
These cephalopods are barely the size of a
pencil from tentacle to beak,
with bright blue rings on their body that
flash as a warning to would-be predators to back off.
Predators, prey and clueless humans can
receive a painless nip that injects tetrodotoxin,
the same venom found in puffer fish,
which blocks the channels that allow
sodium ions into your nerves.
That's all scientific jargon for you gon' die.
Within 10 minutes, your lips and face go numb,
your stomach turns, and then your lungs
cease working so without a ventilator,
you better hope that you had your affairs in order.
And the craziest thing is that there's no antidote,
so survivors have to ride it out and wait about
15 hours until their muscles work again,
at which point they will exclaim,
"maybe I shouldn't harass this octopi."
(growling)
