- Pow!
Welcome everyone to a brand new Top 10.
My name is Matthew Santoro,
and today's video is all about
how appearances can be deceiving.
For example, no, I'm not Jason Statham,
Howie Mandel, or Mr. Clean.
Shocking.
I know.
But seriously, appearances can be especially deceiving
when it comes to lovable animals that you just wanna hug.
In fact, many of the animals that you may have thought
were cute little critters your whole life,
may have actually been capable of murdering you
this whole time,
and you didn't even know it.
So in this video, I'm going to tell you
which of the cutest animals
actually have the capability of being the deadliest,
so that maybe next time you'll think twice
before getting close to one,
so here they are.
10 adorable animals that can kill you.
Number one is the beaver.
Aw, but man, it's just a beaver,
with the cute little buck teeth and floppy tail.
Yeah, and they'll get ya.
In May of 2013,
a 60 year old man was trying to take a picture of himself
with a beaver, while on vacation in Belarus.
According to the official report,
without warning, the animal suddenly attacked,
biting into the man's leg.
Now, normally, that kind of ouchie
would just end up being a fun story to tell
over cocktails to your friends,
but unfortunately, what the man didn't realize
is that beavers have incredibly strong teeth,
capable of biting through wood,
so upon impact, the animal's teeth
severed a major artery.
And sadly, despite first aid from his friend,
the bleeding could not be stopped,
and the man died in the hospital soon after arriving.
So to all of you non-Canadians out there
making fun of our national animal
because it's just a cute little furry thing.
It can't do any damage.
Remember that this thing will
launch at yo' face like Oprah
in front of a black forest cake.
(growls)
Number two is the leopard seal.
Whether they're waving at a crowd,
playing volleyball, or performing a multi-horn tune,
seals are known for being gosh-darn cute.
When they're in captivity.
In the wild, seals are actually considered to be
at the top of the Antarctic food chain.
And they're incredibly aggressive.
Yes, even to people.
This was the case of 28 year old scientist, Christy Brown.
On July 22, Brown was snorkeling in Antarctica,
yes, that's as cold as it sounds,
when she was approached by
a cute little leopard seal.
Now what would normally be a cute opportunity
to take a selfie, turned bad when the animal
latched onto the woman's leg
and dragged her into the icy depths
for several minutes.
And in case you didn't know,
seals have incredibly jagged teeth.
A fact that she obviously didn't.
And despite being an experienced diver,
the ferocity of the seal and the time spent under the water,
were too much for her, and she drowned.
See?
Never trust anything hairless with big teeth.
They'll bite without warning.
Eh?
Number three is the monkey.
Okay, so it's known that apes,
such as chimpanzees and gorillas
can be dangerous animals.
I mean remember that time the lady
had her face eaten off by by a chimp?
Yikes.
Well what is not as well known is that their cousins,
the often adorable and playful monkey,
can tend to also go a little coco-nuts.
Well such was the case with 48 year old Leilit Janchoom,
who was not so nice to his pet monkey,
when he beated it all the time whenever
he hesitated at all to do his orders,
such as climb trees.
Ah that is until one day when the monkey,
named Brother Kwan, grew tired of being beaten,
and decided to take revenge.
See, some monkeys have incredible aim,
and Brother Kwan was no exception,
when he hurled a coconut
from over 50 feet away
that connected squarely with his owner's head,
cracking his skull and killing the man instantly.
He put the lime in the coconut
and then he pitched a perfect strike and killed a dude.
Number four is the swan.
A beautiful symbol of magistry and admiration.
The swan is exactly what every ugly duckling
wants to become.
Except that these elegant creatures can hide a dark side.
On the morning of April 15, 2012, 37 year old
Anthony Hensley was kayaking on a pond in Chicago,
when all of a sudden, he was viciously attacked by a swan.
In water, swans are much faster and stronger
than you might realize, which was demonstrated
in this event when the bird swam right into the kayak,
capsizing it.
And if that wasn't enough, the murderous swan
then held Hensley under the water,
bashing him repeatedly with its wings,
and holding him down with its tiny legs.
How it managed this is still a mystery to this day,
but it happened, talk about a swan song, am I right?
(laughs)
R.I.P.
Number five is the hippo.
Despite the label that they're given for being lazy,
large, and kinda cute,
hippos are actually extremely unpredictable,
and can move suddenly at a speed
of over 20 miles an hour.
In fact, hippos account for
over 2,900 deaths per year in Africa.
A number that dwarfs lions, sharks, and bears combined.
Oh my.
One terrifying example of a hippo's aggressive behavior
occurred in December of 2014.
Limpopo native Dashi Makhuvele
was fishing, when a hippopotamus
attacked him out of the blue,
almost chopping his body clean in half.
Dashi eventually managed
to fight the animal off, punching it repeatedly in the eyes
until it stopped its attack,
but unfortunately he died soon after due to his injuries
sustained from the creature.
Man, well I guess it's safe to assume that that hippo
was hungry hungry.
I'll let myself out.
Number six is the poison dart frog.
If you ever see a cute little vibrant,
colorful frog in the wild,
especially in a warm climate,
even though it's pretty,
don't get close to it.
Incredibly tiny in size, only about two inches long,
the poison dart frog is widely considered
to be one of the most poisonous animals
on the planet.
Their poison secretes from under their skin,
and contains enough of it to kill 10 men,
with a single hit, and what might be even scarier,
is that there is no anti-venom
for the poison dart frog's poison.
So if you get hit, that's it.
Now luckily, most of them exist
in places where humans don't really go,
like the deep rain forest,
but some of them do exist outside of those places,
which is why they account for around
three deaths every year.
Each one needing no more poison
than you'd find on the head of a pin.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Kermit's a bad ass.
Number seven is the goat.
Mountain goats have been known
for ramming people and impaling them,
but that's in the wild.
Domestically, there are very few cases involving goats
actually taking lives.
However, a cute little white goat named Snowball
decided to change all of that.
Snowball's owner, Carl Hulsey,
tormented the animal relentlessly,
claiming to want to teach it to defend itself.
But after years of abuse, the goat finally got his revenge.
Snowball's vengeance came at the ultimate cost
for Hulsey as the animal charged the man one day
when he was looking away.
Connecting with him, it knocked him over the deck,
and Hulsey fell to his death.
Yeah, this doesn't really surprise me,
I mean have you seen a goat's eyeball?
That's some straight up Satan shizz.
(goat sounds)
Number eight is a duck.
Arguably, one of the cutest creatures ever,
ducks and ducklings have always seemed so docile.
So loving, so cuddly,
that is, until you hear about one adorable duck
that took off towards the wrong place at the wrong time.
A 35 year old Florida man was cruising on his speedboat
at approximately 55 miles per hour,
when he received an unwelcome visitor
in the form of a duck flying fast towards him.
The two collided, and the man was thrown from the boat,
dying due to sudden blunt trauma to the head.
Tragically, and unsurprisingly,
the duck also lost its life in the collision.
Okay, so this one is more of a case of a duck
who lost its way rather than being murderous,
but it does show how strong they are
if they derailed a boat.
Unless, of course, this was some sort of
Hulk, Arnold Schwarzenegger bird.
Do you even bird? (grunts)
Number nine is a deer.
When it comes to fatalities involving deer,
it's usually due to somebody hitting one with their car,
but that doesn't mean that these adorable animals
can't hold their own.
Well on October 9, 2011, 55 year old Donald Dube
was feeding his domesticated herd of deer behind his home
when, without warning,
one of the animals began attacking him.
It's unclear if this was done out of anger or fear,
but one expert claims the buck may
have mistaken Donald for a doe,
as October is often mating season for them.
And unfortunately, Donald ultimately died
from his extensive injuries from the animal.
The moral of the story here is
careful how you bend over when feeding animals
during mating season.
They're gonna want more than food,
you know what I'm sayin'?
You know what I'm sayin', a little buck action.
You know what I'm sayin'.
Yeah, just be careful.
And number ten, a dolphin.
Who can deny the adorableness of Flipper?
Whether it's having a playful splash war with us,
carrying a camera through a sunken ship,
or even fending off sharks,
dolphins are not only one of the cutest,
but one of the most human-friendly aquatic mammals.
That is, of course, unless you try to elbow in
on one of their dates.
In December of 1994 in Sao Paulo, Brazil,
a localized dolphin who was oddly well known
for being particularly friendly with women,
attacked two male swimmers.
Witnesses claim that the mammal
seemed incredibly aggressive,
and butted into both men several times.
Alarmingly, this caused severe hemorrhaging in one of them,
and he died soon after due to his injuries.
Dolphin-butt (Dolphin Sound)
Ah, but come on, I've seen dolphins,
and they're almost always peaceful.
Besides, what do you know about the dolphin?
Do you know him?
Does he call you at home?
Do you have a dorsal fin?
To tame the dolphin, you must think like a dolphin.
You must get inside the dolphin's head when communicating.
I am saying to Snowflake (Dolphin Sounds),
and he's saying to me (Dolphin Sounds).
And then he's up on the tail (Dolphin Sounds).
And you can quote him.
Or something like that.
And those, my friends,
were 10 examples of some cute little cuddly creatures
that can very well murder your face.
