Top 3 animals that look cute but are actually extremely ferocious

Animals with cute appearances often attract people's attention. However, in nature there are many animals that look cute and innocent, but the truth about them is completely opposite to their appearance.

1. Giant Panda

First on this list is the giant panda, they look very cute and are loved by people all over the world.

Contrary to the misconception that pandas prefer to live in groups, this animal prefers solitude and will almost always avoid direct contact with other pandas. Every year, male and female pandas only meet during the mating season for about 2-3 days in the spring (from March to May every year). After that, the male will say goodbye to the female and return to enjoy a solitary life until the mating season the following year.

It may sound unbelievable, but although 99% of what this animal eats is bamboo, it is a "carnivore". On average, an adult panda needs to "devour" at least 18 kg of bamboo leaves every day. Wild pandas will sometimes eat grass, wild roots, birds, rodents, and even carrion. Captive pandas can also eat honey, eggs, fish, carrots, potatoes, shrub leaves, and fruits such as apples, oranges, or bananas.
