Natural selection has been trying so hard, but we keep pulling them back time and time again. I love them though. There is nothing cuter!

Seriously, the are such dumb creatures. I don't understand how they evolved. They are destined to go extinct. China can have them all back.

I remember reading some article about how they were showing pandas in captivity ‘panda porn’ in desperate hopes to get them to mate, but the pandas were too lazy to do it

Pandas are an evolutionary dead end. They still exist because they’re cute and humans decided to try to keep them as pets.

What do they smell like?

Also ostriches are psycho.

Penguin colonies smell like the bottom of a birdcage that has no been changed for weeks.

Never meet your heroes.

I'm shocked about this idiotic thread. You people have obviously no clue about nature and biology. You live in a superficial disney-world and are surprised about the reality. By the way: the most cruel und the most detestable being in the world is the human being.

Lots of species we find adorable aren't all that in real life.

What did otters do?!

Not the biologist but we have a resident sea otter that is aggressively stealing surfboards from surfers. Sea otters are not as aggressive as river otters but it’s still really lucky no one has been bitten yet. Surfers don’t like giving up their expensive boards and this otter really wants them. I wouldn’t want to get bit especially in this area as it’s a great white shark nursery.

Horses and cows and dogs, oh my!

https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topic

Back in 2011, Australia’s National Coronial Information System (NCIS) released its most recent report into the trends and patterns surrounding animal-related deaths in Australia, covering the first decade of this century.

Of the 254 confirmed and reported animal-related deaths during that 10-year period, horses, cows and dogs were the most frequent culprits, accounting for 137 deaths.
Horses (including ponies and donkeys) were the most ‘deadly’ animal in Australia, causing 77 deaths in 10 years, mostly related to falls. Cows (including bulls and cattle/bovine) accounted for 33 deaths – 16 by causing motor vehicle accidents, the rest by crushing, piercing or ‘unknown’. The majority of the 27 deaths caused by the third biggest killer, dogs, were from attacks, with those deaths mostly occurring in children under four years old and in elderly people.

Shoot the messenger?
In case you hadn’t cottoned on yet, it turns out most of our perception of risk is somewhat out of whack when it comes to judging the likelihood of a deadly encounter with certain animals (what’s scarier, surfing near a river mouth at dawn, or visiting a friend’s dairy farm?).

“Our perceptions of the probability of an event has been shown to depend on its availability – how easily we are able to bring such events to mind,” explains Professor John Dunn, from the University of Adelaide’s School of Psychology.

“Events appear on the news and/or are talked about because they are noteworthy, unusual, or dramatic. As a result, these kinds of events are more available and hence we overestimate their probability of occurrence,” he says.

These studies are stupid, because they don't account for reality. Way more people would die from cassowary encounters if people didn't stay away from them.

Nothing is dangerous if it's not in your backyard. Tell that to Africans or Indians who DO have lions in their backyard.

Stop victim blaming. First they drowned our minds with misinformation, and now they are drowning our dogs. If you knew this all along and said nothing, you've revealed yourself as a traitor.

If we didn’t imagine that animals are friendly, life would be even more terrifying than it already is.

I thought the kangaroo was rescuing the dog!

I’m wondering how they survived this long in the first place. It can’t all just be humans.

lol! I'm so grateful that animals can't talk. I bet I would be terrified of what my cat thinks of me. IF she thinks of me at all.

What is with these roided out roos and dogs? Why do they grab them like that?

This is the video which made me decide there will be ZERO kangaroo enclosures in my future.

Well, they kind of are -- it's just that they are actually dinosaurs.

No, they’re drones. All of them.

The Reagan administration killed all the birds.
