The 6 Deadliest Animals Too Adorable To Run Away From by ImperfectMe(m): 4:01pm On Jan 04, 2015
Mother Nature's favorite gag is giving vicious predators the bodies of harmless fuzzballs. Here are the six deadliest animals we may keep as pet when approahed
6.
When someone mentions roadrunners, you probably think of a
tall, skinny bird that runs really fast, goes "Meep meep" and
routinely outwits cartoon coyotes. And while Warner Bros. did
get some things right (the birds are capable of flight, but choose
to just run around really fast), cartoons are rarely accurate sources for the aspiring ornithologist.

Roadrunners are almost exclusively carnivorous . The diet they follow is not the wimpy "small furry things" sort, either.
Try rattlesnakes.
The roadrunner just sinks its beak into the snake, promptly lifts it high into
the air and repeatedly smashes it into the ground until it is
tenderized enough to swallow whole. This technique, according to
scientists, "subjects the prey to an outward force away from the
center of rotation, in this case, the center of rotation being the roadrunner's face."
More importantly, it does it like a boss. That there, friends, is a goddamn finishing move. It even has a
name: the Centrifugal Slam. Oh, and the roadrunner also eats other birds. It doesn't even fly after them -- instead, it just jumps in the air and snatches them as they pass. And then: the Centrifugal Slam.

5. Giant Otters
Otters are some of the cutest, most innocent-looking animals on
the planet
Giant otters live in South America, where they primarily feed on
perch, large catfish and characins, such as piranhas. They hunt in packs (hence the nickname), corraling fish into shallow water for
easy pickings. When feeding cubs, they beat up the fish within an inch of its life but leave it hanging -- so that the cute otter babies
can have fresh food.
Another delicacy on the giant otter menu is the anaconda, which you may remember as the largest damn snake on Earth.
A small
group of giant otters will swim up to and grab the snake, then start biting and clawing it. They will bash the anaconda against tree trunks and, if they feel particularly badass, employ a
technique described by a biologist as "tug-of-war with an
animated fire hose." Yes, giant otters can reduce the most
powerful snake on the planet to a mere plaything.

4. Long-Tailed Weasel
Oh, come on now. Weasels? They do probably hunt mice or
something, like pretty much every small carnivore. But a long- tailed weasel on a list of ferocious killers? No way. Look at that little fella -- it's just a fluffy hot dog with legs.
The long-tailed weasel likes to kill by wrapping its body around its prey, then crushing the prey's skull by biting it.
Long-tailed weasels are genetically
hardwired to commit mass murder. They kill whenever they can and store the food for later, but rarely visit their corpse stashes
because they prefer their food "alive and quivering." They also lap the blood from the wounds they inflict, and as the icing on the serial killer cake, they make their nests out of the fur of their victims.

3 Olive Babbons
Olive baboons -- like all monkeys -- are actually opportunistic omnivores. That means they eat whatever they think looks delicious. This is usually just grass and plants and stuff. In fact,
baboons are known to peacefully graze next to gazelles. But every once in a while, like a man forced to subsist on salad for
too long, they decide enough is enough and they want some meat right damn now. And that's when their peaceful co-existence with the rest of the world ends. Those gazelles the olive baboon likes to hang out with? They do
double duty as fluffy animal friends and a snack cabinet. At any
given moment, a baboon may decide he wants him some gazelle. So he nonchalantly walks up to the grazing gazelles, pretending
to be uninterested and doing whatever the baboon equivalent of
whistling is. Then he just suddenly bolts at whatever looks like it
runs away the slowest. Yes, of course this is usually a baby
gazelle. Once the baboon catches the African Bambi, he unceremoniously
kills it by beating and biting it. Then he holds it in his hands like a water melon. YUCK!

2. Leopard Seal
Seals are the cutest, sweetest,
most adorably helpless-looking things ever. There's no way in
hell seals could ever be anything but cuddly tubs of lard. They
just eat fish, right? That assumption goes right out the window when the leopard seal opens its mouth and you find out it's part dinosaur.
Leopard seals will wait in shallow water or under ice ledges where penguins like to hang out. When the little guys jump into the
water, the seal shoots out and grabs it.
After it catches its prey, the seal slaps the penguin across the surface of the water to skin it before eating it. Or, if it's feeling
particularly merciful, just bites off its head.
