A friendly face doesn’t always mean they’re a friend—and nowhere is that more true than the animal kingdom.

Sure, everyone knows a cuddly cat may not always be so cuddly (especially if there’s catnip at play), but some deadly animals take faking cuteness to the next level.

To that end, we’ve gathered 15 adorable baby photos of some of the world’s most dangerous animals. That way, you can look without ever having to get within arm’s reach of these Darwinian hazards.

Polar Bears

A cute bear rolling around in the snow is nothing but cute… right? Nope! Polar bears are the most carnivorous members of the bear family, and the most likely to stalk a human as food, too.

There have been nearly 70 confirmed polar bear attacks in the last century, and while it seems like a low number for 100 years, it’s only because polar bears are not that accessible to humans. Get rid of the sea ice, however, and we might be headed for some real trouble.

Lions

It’s pretty obvious that lions are some fierce creatures. (They’re not “king of the jungle” for no reason, after all.) However, when looking at a tiny lion cub, it’s nearly impossible not to smile. What can we say? The Lion King made lion cubs look friendly! Plus, look at that little face!

Hippos

Sometimes referred to as “Africa’s Most Dangerous Animal,” the hippo is not one to be messed with. Kid-oriented things, such as games like Hungry Hungry Hippos or songs like “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” try to make hippos seem like cute creatures, but they’re far from it.

Not only will hippos attack and feed on humans, they also feed on other hippos.

Tigers

Unfortunately, real life tigers are no Tony the Tiger. While the above tiger cub looks innocent as can be, these felines are notorious for mauling an astonishing amount of humans. Tigers of the World estimates that tigers are responsible for nearly 373,000 human deaths between 1800 and 2009. Most attacks occur on zookeepers, likely because of combination of two factors: instinct, and the boredom caused by captivity.

Wolves

Three Little Pigs made it clear how big and bad wolves can be—and that popular fictional interpretation isn’t far from reality. Due to their pack hunting tactics, wolves can pretty much overtake any enemy. Luckily, however, while attacks have happened over the years, there have been no human deaths recorded in North America from wolves during the past century.

Cheetahs

As the fastest animal on land, it’s a no-brainer that the cheetah can be one deadly creature when it wants to be. While they have the ability to maim, cheetahs are actually very shy creatures, and has caused few reported human fatalities. However, seeing as you won’t be able to outrun them, it’s probably better safe than sorry to keep your distance—and a lot of it, at that.

Hyenas

While hyenas often sound like they’re laughing, coming across one of these creatures is no laughing matter. Zoologist Stephen Brend told the BBC that hyenas have jaws as powerful as great white sharks, and they devour every bit of their prey (yes, even the bones). In fact, hyenas are known to attack the homeless in Ethiopia—and even, on one occasion, ripped off the scalp of one man while he was sleeping.

Elephants

From circuses to Disney, elephants are depicted as animals who live for fun. However, they’re actually more deadly than they are entertaining. One study by an Animal Kingdom worker concluded that people are three times more likely to be killed while working with elephants than being on the front-line as a police officer.

Their incredible strength combined with sudden outbursts of anger make this animal one of the deadliest on earth.

Leopards

The spots of the leopard make it such a beautiful creature, but along with tigers, lions, and cheetahs, these felines are not afraid to strike. Leopard’s view direct eye contact as a challenge and will suffocate their prey. In 2012, one leopard was suspected of eating 15 people in Nepal—including a 4-year-old boy the animal dragged into the jungle.

Rhinos

Along with other large animals, like elephants and hippopotamuses, rhinos are also considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. Their poor sight make them even more dangerous since they cannot tell if a passerby poses a threat or not—often leading them to attack innocent bystanders.

Chimpanzees

Chimpanzees have an affectionate and needy side as infants, which can make them appear cute and child-like to the average person. However, by age five, chimpanzees are stronger than most human adults. Their natural aggressive nature has led to many critical and fatal attacks—especially to those who try to keep chimps as pets.

Cows

While you’re looking at a cute baby calf, you could accidentally find yourself in the middle of a stampede. In a span of five years, more than 20 people were killed in the United States by cows, according to the CDC. Cows are strong enough to knock humans down, often resulting in fatal injuries to the head or chest.

Then there’s the whole stampede thing. If caught in one, humans are often trampled over and crushed to death. Ouch!

Kangaroos

While baby kangaroos look cute nestled up in their mothers’ pouches, they can still pack a mean punch. In 2018, Australian officials called for signs to be put up in the national parks to remind visitors that feeding kangaroos was unsafe and illegal because there was an ongoing string of kangaroos attacking tourists.

Wildlife expert Ian Temby says that, if a kangaroo kicks you with its hind feet while you’re standing up, the attack could kill you by ripping you open. Sounds a little less cute now, doesn’t it?

Honey Badgers

Innocent looking enough, these deadly creatures are far from it. They have jaws so powerful they can actually crack a tortoise shell. And Guinness World Records went so far as to name the animal the “World’s Most Fearless Creature.”

Yeah, if you found yourself in a fight with this creature, you’d lose. Honey badgers have incredibly loose skin that allow them to break free from a predator’s grip, and most turn around and deliver fatal bites to their attackers.

Red Pandas

While tiny compared to the actual panda species—red pandas typically grow to the size of a house cat—these animals don’t let their size diminish their dangerous side. Red pandas are usually shy creatures, but when they feel threatened, they can stand up on their hind legs and strike out with razor-sharp, semi-retractile claws.
