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.

What animals prey on anacondas?

 

A 23 to 25 foot , 1 to 2 foot wide Anaconda has less to fear. Their massive bulk, thickness, reflex or defensive action strategy and size prevents them from getting hunted.

A large 25 foot Green Anaconda hiding in stealth under the floating forest is impossible to prey upon by any animal.

However Jaguars, Black Caimans, Orinoco Crocodiles are capable of preying on small and medium sized Anacondas. Anaconda weakness being they are slow and sluggish in land but once in water they are difficult to tackle.

Black Caiman is the only known massive reptile which is capable of fighting head to head with a massive female Green Anaconda.

Cannibalism is also documented amoung Green Anacondas with larger ones especially females eating smaller males after mating. So Cannibalism is not an alien behavior amoung Anacondas.

Some Amazonian tribes are not known to eat Anaconda meat

Are there any aquatic animals that are considered more intelligent than dolphins?

 Yes, there are.

Manta rays and Orcas are considered to be among the most intelligent aquatic animals, and some exhibit behaviors that rival dolphins.

1. Manta rays

Have large brains relative to their body size, with well-developed areas for learning, problem-solving, and communication. They can recognize themselves in a mirror, which suggests they have some level of self-awareness. Also playful and curious around humans.

Use sight and smell to map their surroundings. Collaborate during hunting and form complex social relationships.

They are considered to be highly intelligent fish.

2. Orcas

Have large brains that allow them to store memories and quickly assess signals from nerves.

They are among the most intelligent marine mammals and are considered to be one of the smartest animals in the world.

Orcas (also known as killer whales) are highly social creatures that develop intricate social networks primarily based on strong family ties and alliances within their pods, with the core structure revolving around a matriline led by an older female, forming complex relationships between individuals within the group.
