Deceivingly adorable animals – Animals are cute, there’s no doubt about it. They’re so cute that when you’re watching a nature documentary you might even momentarily question why humans feel the need to destroy so much of their habitat and generally disrespect wildlife. Oh well, that’s just the way things are, and at least you learned some cool facts!

Of course, deciding which animals are cute is a completely subjective enterprise. There are some, however, that most of us agree are not: spiders, wildebeest, star-nosed moles, and the like. There are also those that are stunningly majestic and downright adorable (especially the babies), but that we know are very dangerous. We’re talking about animals like big cats and polar bears. Even though polar bears drink Coca-Cola just like us, they’re also the largest land predators on the planet.
This list introduces some cute animals, but trust us, you might want to think twice before approaching them in the wild. In general, you should probably just leave wild animals to live in peace. But if you do happen to find yourself close to one, better to be equipped with some knowledge. Here are 15 deceptively adorable animals that could kill you.
15. The Mute Swan
Swans are considered beautiful by most people. There’s even that story about the duck that was ugly but actually ended up being a swan and prettier than the rest of his family.
Although swans are not very large (usually weighing between 20 and 30 pounds), they are incredibly territorial and protective of their nests. Scientists and nature officials recommend giving them space, as they are known to often become extremely aggressive towards anything they see as a threat. Despite their relatively small size, they have been known to attack humans by flying into them at high speeds, knocking people off of boats and taking out water skiers. Another danger they exhibit is their tendency to try and keep their opponents underwater after knocking them in. Outside of Chicago, a man was reportedly knocked off of his kayak and then actively blocked by the swan while attempting to swim, making it impossible for him to get back to shore.
The most they usually do to humans is bruise them, but still, you might want to just use binoculars to view these beautiful creatures.
