Tree lobsters?
Bats. Some species really look like adorable little sky kittens. But they are also significant disease carriers, ranging from rabies to ebola. Bats themselves have evolved to be immune to things that can kill us and other animals.
It’s why you should never, EVER touch a bat. Just don’t.
Bees. They're little fluff fairies who love flowers but they exist in the same space in my subconscious as roaches and hornets.
I flipped on bees a few years back and stopped being afraid of them altogether. I get relatively close to them now while weeding my garden and they pay me no mind. Wasps and hornets will always be enemies, but I won't air my true thoughts on them, as the last time I did on Lemmy I was downvoted greatly and reviled.
A human child.
There’s no other animal I can become an instant villain for being close to. Being close to a human child is legally and socially dangerous.
a brown- or polar bear
Blue ringed octopus. Tiny but deadly.
Classically cute: an otter.
Quick with a mean bite. And can be very ferocious and territorial, even against humans.
A dog probably.
