There has been a long-standing legend about the beauty and the beast. One lesson learned is that not all things that glitter are gold. This even goes double for the animal kingdom, where the cutest of all animals is always one of the most dangerous. On that note, we’ll be looking at 10 cute animals that can actually kill you. Number 1 is so beautiful that you would be enamored to touch. But if you do, you’d be dead before you can say help!

Number 10: Freshwater Snails
Well... I know you were not expecting to have a small, oddly beautiful snail on this list. Because normally when we talk about dangerous creatures, large animals like snakes, sharks and lions take all the credit. But then again, statistics can’t lie. And now, it tells us that freshwater snails are responsible for more than 200,000 deaths a year and that’s more deaths than sharks, lions, and wolves combined. The reason for this, however, is not far-fetched because freshwater snails are carriers of a fatal parasitic disease called Schistosomiasis. Worldwide, this parasite has infected almost 250 million people and anyone can contract it from simply swimming in an infected water body. Once infected, these parasites infest your blood vessels. Since the actual disease was not caused by the worm, they remain dormant for many decades until it’s time to reproduce. Afterward, they lay their eggs in your body tissues, causing several symptoms from anemia to extreme fatigue. If left untreated, this parasite is known to cause death and about 10 percent of treated cases can also be fatal.

Number 9: Panda
Pandas are so cute that we often forget that these beautiful critters are actually bears. So, like all bears, they have a pretty strong bite. In the same vein, they have grips so powerful that they can harm a human leg or in fatal cases, kill you. But first, let me get this out of the way; panda attacks are indeed rare. However, when threatened, they become so highly offensive that they can hurt or kill you. So no matter the number of adorable panda videos you think you’ve watched online, never, I say, never, try to approach a giant panda in the wild. The thing is, you’ll most likely be sorry. One case scenario to learn from happened in a Beijing Zoo when a 250-pound panda chomped off a teenager’s leg who found it irresistible enough to climb into the panda’s enclosure. However, putting aside their angry times, pandas are generally peaceful, super cute animals that eat bamboo and spend half of their days sleeping.

Number 8: The Duck-billed Platypus
Strangely enough, the Duck-billed Platypus is one of nature’s unlikely animals. In fact, many scientists describe them as a victim of evolutionary hoaxes for many reasons. For one, they are one of 5 species of animals classified as monotremes, that is, mammals that lay eggs. Then again, it looks like a hybrid of three types of more familiar species; the duck for its bill and feet, the otter for its body, and the beaver for its tail. All together, these features made a platypus kind of beautiful in its own way. But no matter how fascinated you are by this little critter, never for once be tempted to pick them up, particularly the male species. This is because male platypuses possess a poison device on their hind legs, especially in the thighs and in the hollow spurs near the heel. Luckily, the poison can’t kill humans. But one male is capable of delivering something called a mega-sting that can cause excruciating pain and rapid swelling at the sting site. Not only that, the poison can incapacitate the victims for weeks.

Number 7:The Leopard Seal
There’s no doubt that seals are cute ocean puppies. But when next you see a leopard seal, hands-off please because there’s more to this species of a seal than what meets the eye. For one, leopard seals are very big, reaching up lengths of about 10 feet. Not only that, they are so aggressive that any diver that moves too close to one may never reach the surface alive. This is because, with slight provocation, they can bite, attack, and drag anyone inside the ice or water with them.
