This Cutie's Poison Can Take Out an Elephant

The African crested rat? It's got that whole cute and cuddly vibe goin' on, but don't be fooled—it's packin' some serious venom. Yup, you read that right! This little dude coats its fur with toxins from poisonous plants, makin' it one of the sneakiest threats in the animal kingdom. And it ain't the only one playin' that game—there's plenty of other critters out there rockin' that adorable exterior but packin' a punch. From spiky hedgehogs to venomous frogs, nature's got a whole bunch of surprises up its sleeve. So, next time you spot somethin' lookin' all sweet and innocent, better think twice before gettin' too close!

I don't know what TechyCatz's obsession with Pokémon is, but I wouldn't call this filthy creature a "cutie" if it is venomous enough to assassinate an elephant.

That African crafted rat does looks cute yes, but a really dangerous and poisonous for me... 🦔🐀💀😱
