Sometimes distinguishing between furry cuteness and pure destruction is not an easy task. In fact, many of the animals kingdom’s cutest critters also happen to be its most prolific killers. You think that cute little puffer fish is adorable? Will you hold your breath as you reach to pet it? The answer is yes. Forever. So keep that in mind as you read through our list of the worlds most dangerous animals.

You might not think of these cuddly bears as being deadly, but wait until you read what they can do. Inside you'll find some other truly scary creatures, from things so small you'll barely see them to ones so big you can't miss them (but you'll wish you did). Most don't kill very many humans, but they can be incredibly ferocious predators in the wild, and each demands our respect.
Editor's Note: This list, originally published in 2005, was updated in March 2016 to reflect the latest information. The list of bugs, beasts and lethal animals of several kinds, however, hasn't changed one iota.
