While some are utterly harmless, many of these critters have self-protective qualities that can be harmful to humans. Even domesticated animals, like our beloved dogs, can carry diseases or display aggressive behaviors when a well-intentioned human gets a little too close. • 1 Dogs • The truth hurts, but the fact of the matter is that man's best friend can sometimes be his worst enemy. • The CDC reports about 4.5 million dog bites every year. Of those, 900,000 become infected. In 2017, thirty-nine people were killed by domesticated dogs in the United States. We hate to say it, but...bad dog! • 2 Dolphins • Who doesn't love cute, adorable dolphins?! • Well... other dolphins, for starters. In the wild, dolphins reportedly participate in infanticide on the regular. They also attack other porpoises and mammals, including humans. • 3 Elephants • Everyone loves elephants, right? They're huge, but they're the world's largest living vegetarians, so we should be safe around them. • Uh, not exactly. • Elephants can stand 13 feet high and weigh around 6 tons. While they're generally docile, they can get a bit testy when humans encroach on their space. (Fair enough.) Elephants are responsible for around 500 deaths every year, mostly through stamping and goring. • 4 Leopard Seal • Polar bears may be the top predators of the Arctic, but leopard seals rule the opposite pole. • These fierce predators look like they're smiling, which makes the fact that they can easily kill you all the more unsettling. Leopard seals have been known to actively hunt humans, and the gruesome manner in which they kill penguins would turn your stomach. Physically, they're also pretty terrifying: they have powerful jaws and flippers, and can grow to a length of 13 feet. • 5 Mice • With their big black eyes and furry little ears, the average house mouse looks like something out of a Disney movie. Yet each year, these pests are responsible for countless illnesses and deaths. • Fun fact: mice are the second most populous creatures on earth, second only to humans. They also spread diseases like it's their job: leptospirosis, hantavirus, salmonella, rat-bite fever, Lyme disease, typhus, and plague are all spread by these cute little guys.
