Humans have always loved to look at and interact with animals. And when they are small, or adorable, or just look unique, this wish increases multifold. But, not many know that certain animals could be rather dangerous when threatened, and here we mention some of them.

Honey badgers are the small devils of wildlife that aren’t afraid of challenging animals twice, or even thrice their size. They are vicious, fierce, territorial, and don’t mind an altercation to defend themselves.

Another small animal that packs a ton of energy within is the Tasmanian devil. They although look adorably small, their actions and ferocious nature will make you question their size. They have an incredibly powerful bite and it is best to steer clear of them.

Giant anteaters are rather peculiar-looking, and although seem harmless, can be dangerous if they feel threatened. They have large, sharp claws to defend themselves, and their one swipe can cause severe injuries to humans.

One of the most vicious and scary creatures in the wild, the Komodo dragons are one of the biggest lizards to exist. They are immensely strong, and their saliva has a venom that can cause blood loss and infection. If you see one in the wild, run!

Stingrays are commonly seen by divers and underwater enthusiasts. And while most people think they are harmless, it is not always the case! As evident by the name, these rays can sting a human and it can lead to intense pain and even death.

Although most people think of Jellyfishes as beautiful and adorable animals, this is just partially true. The Box jellyfish, and Irukandji jellyfish are among the most dangerous jellyfish in the world, and are extremely venomous.

While wombats sure do look like cute, cuddly animals, they are extremely aggressive when provoked or threatened. So, if you encounter a Wombat in the wild, make sure to not trigger it.

Sea dragons are unique and delicate-looking creatures of the sea wildlife, and are majoritarily blue and white in colour. And although they look extremely fascinating and ‘different’, it is best to not get too close as they are venomous in nature.

Wolverines too are small, powerful animals that don’t hesitate in fighting with animals twice their size. They are fierce, fearless, and can easily get triggered.

Another animal with a cute face, but dangerous nature is the slow Loris. Evident by the name, they sure are slow moving, but when threatened, they can bite and inject venom into their enemies.
