Beware: Top 6 Surprisingly Venomous Animals

Looks can be deceiving. Some unsuspecting venomous animals are gifted with brilliant, attractive colors or large, innocent-eyes that are too irresistible not to touch until you get a kiss of their poison.

How to spot whether animal is venomous or not?

Here are some unsuspecting venomous animals that everyone must be aware of:

Slow Loris (Nycticebus sp.)

The slow loris is a classic unsuspecting venomous animal. It had earned a fandom worldwide due to its cuteness but these species are the world's only venomous primates. Worst, its venom has no known cure. The glands underneath their armpits release noxious oil. As the slow loris lick the glands, the saliva mixes with the oil and concocts the venom which is then filled in their grooved canines. The bites are nasty enough to pierce through the bone, causing the bitten areas to rot. A recent study revealed that they use their venom to defend their territory, their mates, or their young.

Cute, attractive, gentle or cute as these unsuspecting venomous animals may seem, it is always better to keep ourselves away from them.
