It's Cute! It's Deadly!

The Slow Loris is cute and cuddlely.  But beware!  Its bite can rot flesh!  Used primarily to fight other Loris males, the flesh-rotting bite of the Slow Loris is nothing to laugh at.  By licking glands under their armpits that ooze noxious oil, they mix this with their saliva which creates a deadly venom that fills the grooves in their canines so that when they bite the solution can eat to the bone.  Intrigued?

The Venomous, Pus-Squirting Caterpillar

It looks like a toupee', squirts venomous pus from knife-like spines, but when all is said and done, it turns into a beautiful southern flannel moth.  

It's common in the United States and other countries, but the stings from this caterpillar are excruciating.  One woman said it felt like "a scorching hot knife passing through the outside of my calf." Avoiding these caterpillars is your best option to avoid problems.  Since their sting is similar to a bee sting, some people who are allergic to bees could be affected adversely if stung.
