What are some terrifying facts about animals?

 

1. I just wanted to start off with the smartest bird on the planet, the crow. They can remember faces, are known to hold grudges and take revenge on those who wrong them, and are arguably the smartest birds ever. Well, you can see where this is going. just for the record, don't piss them off.

1. Africanised honey bees AKA "killer bees" are pure nightmare fuel. it is not like they have one of the most potent venom in the insect race but it's how they attack and use it that makes them scary. they will swarm and surround you from all directions and continue stinging until they're tired or you're dead. Just to top it off, they go for eyes, mouth, and ears.
2. The Giant Amazon Leech is one of the largest leeches in the world some growing to up to 18 inches.
3. Horned Lizards can squirt blood from their eyes to deter predators.
4. There is a tongue-eating louse in the ocean that nests in the tongues of unaware fishes and slowly feasts on their tongues until well, they become the tongue. imagine you eating such a fish without knowing and that gets inside your body and starts doing what it does.

1. Sometimes rats can get as big as cays and dogs.
2. Hamsters will sometimes eat their own young if they undergo severe mal nutrition or starvation.
3. Vampire bats feast exclusively on blood.
4. Cape buffaloes are extremely brutal and unpredictable. They stalk and circle their prey before charging at speeds of up to 56 kilometers per hour – so, if you see one peeping at you through the African savanna grasses, you’d better duck for cover.
5. Female black widow spiders will often eat their male partner while mating. I guess a lot of us already knew this fact.
6. Ladybugs will eat their own without hesitation esp if there is a server food shortage.
7. Finally, the most terrifying fact here is that we humans exist. We are destroying the very planet we are living on, the planet that is our only home, that shelters us, feeds us, and gives us an identity. We have driven an uncountable number of animals and plants to their extinction, destroyed natural sites and forests, aggressively committed deforestation and poisoning the seas and oceans that house some of the most amazing creatures there is. We are slowly killing the planet we live on- the true definition of a parasite.
