  1. Platypus!

    It has a venom that “produces excruciating pain that may be intense enough to incapacitate a victim. Swelling rapidly develops around the entry wound and gradually spreads outward. Information obtained from case studies shows that the pain develops into a long-lasting hyperalgesia that can persist for months but usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks.[5][12] A clinical report from 1992 showed that the severe pain was persistent and did not respond to morphine. “

  2. I read or watched something that really stuck with me once. A plastic surgeon had said that his number one piece of advice was not to put your face near a dog you don’t know extremely well.

    I love dogs and have an extremely lovely choco lab, but my parents always told me that you can never fully trust an animal, no matter how sweet, loving or well-behaved. Photos of infants lying beside or on top of a dog 10x their size make me cringe. Why risk it?

  3. Most Australian animals. Kangaroos can and have disemboweled humans. Tasmanian devils have the stongest jaw strength per body mass on earth (can chew through bone like butter), emus and cassowaries can eviscerate with their dinosaur-like tallons, platypus have venomous spurs on their hind legs, Wombats are bricks than can destroy cars as roadkill, even koalas are gnarly if provoked.
