Top 10 Most Overrated Animals
It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from the wild members of the family. A cat can either be a house cat, a farm cat or a feral cat; the latter... read more
Actually, I find them overhated. Sure, there are cat memes and all, but in real life, so many people hate cats. I think the most common reason to strongly hate all these creatures is because they say things like "cats don't love you", or "cats hate you and want to murder your family" and "dogs save people where as cats just poop in a box and hate you and kill babies". First of all, science has proven that cats DO bond with their loving owners, and actually grow very attached. Second, what idiotic superstition made you think they want to kill you? Unless you abuse them (in that case, you should look behind you now and then, and sniff your drink for poison if you have abused cats, because they love revenge), they have no reason to really hate you. Third, I'm happy to say that there have been cases where cats saved their owners' life, and a cat even jumped into a burning building to save her kittens. She got some nasty burns, but she and her kittens ended up safe. Fourth, um, no, cats don't go on killing sprees slaughtering human young, weirdo. However, a lot of people just simply prefer other animals, and that's okay; we don't all have to like cats. It just peeves me that some people hate cats for untrue reasons. I love all pets, but cats have always had a place to snuggle in my heart.
Dogs are not smarter than cats and I have biological proof to back me up. Cats can learn many tricks, but they need to gain your loyalty first, while a dog will just go along with whatever you say. That's a little too trusting, isn't it? Most dogs have been bred so much that they have been dumbed down. Now don't even get me started about people saying they are cute. Yes, I love some dogs, but flat-faced Pugs are ugly and monstrosities to nature. Every single dog has been genetically bred, making them against nature by existing. If you like dogs, fine, but I lose it when people say they are more intelligent than cats. The fact that they trust the first person they meet does not make them smart.
It is characterised by its bold black-and-white coat and rotund body. The name "giant panda" is sometimes used to distinguish it from the red panda, a neighboring musteloid... read more
Everything about the panda's design screams WHY. They have horrible camouflage, the design of a carnivore while being mainly a herbivore, use bamboo as a food source, and reproduce at a sloth's pace.
I admit, pandas are cute, but people worry too much about them. I've seen lots of charities for pandas. It is not that I don't care for the pandas, it is just that they are at least somewhat safe.
When there are other endangered animals that need to be saved, pandas are the top ones just because they're cute. Koalas are endangered, yet cuter. Save the koalas!
Koalas are the dumbest animal to walk the earth. The more wrinkles on the brain, the smarter the animal, so that is why the brain of the koala is as smooth as a pebble. Koalas only eat eucalyptus from trees. If you put a plate of eucalyptus in front of a koala it will starve to death. Dumb
They feed their children they're own droppings, They are rude and terrifying under that fluff..
People are always like "awww, koalas are the cutest things ever! " when they are one of the dumbest animals in the world, as do nothing but sleep.
This should be number one. Wolves are very average animals, nowhere near as OP as people make them out to be. I find it so annoying listening to these wolf-lover girls talk about how "similar" they are to wolves, and how they share a "connection" with this "beautiful, mysterious creature" and how it's their "spirit animal". Wolf-lovers whine about how "nobody understands" them, and always picture themselves as very beautiful, mysterious, and alluring to others. They are always very stuck up, and believe that they are for some reason "loved" by wolves, love to play the victim, and never own up or admit that they were wrong. Ugh, the worst type of animal lover.
Seahorses are the worst fish on the planet. They are slow, gave up their fins for a tail that only works when there is lots of grass. Sure they can camouflage, but what is the point if there is no one around.
They really cute and underrated.
We're aren't the greatest things above all other life, and we definitely shouldn't act that way. But we also have accomplished a lot and should be proud of it. Idk.
While we humans have done great things, we're not the greatest things that ever happened. We're not even the most important things that ever happened. If it weren't for plants, micro-organisms, or water, we would be nothing. Plus, it is kinda funny that several people don't think that we're animals, but we are. We just have big brains and opposable thumbs, and while we done great things in the world, we done a lot of bad things too. Let's hope our only 2 real benefits don't kill us.
Though lions aren't as overrated as wolves, they are still too popular. Though they have a unique mane and roar, it doesn't mean that they are better than other creatures. I agree with everyone else about the Lion KIng giving the hyenas a terrible reputation. Hyenas are pretty interesting animals as well, because the female hyenas are bigger than the males and often leaders of their clan. Which is rare for a mammal because males are in most cases are the dominant sex. Did you know that a hyena isn't a dog, nor a cat? Another fact is that hyenas are really intelligent, having the cognitive ability of a young child.
Did you know that they run in short bursts of speed and need to rest for 15 to twenty minutes after each run.
Cheetahs are really fast but they are really weak.
Basically as overrated and dumb as a cat.
Great white sharks are overrated among sharks. Nature programs should show other species more often.
They are mindless eating machines. Enough said
Don't you know people kill more sharks than sharks killing people
This bird is shown way too much on bird seed packages, covers of bird books, and Christmas items, though it doesn't really have anything to do with Christmas. So many other yard birds are neglected by comparison.
Everyone loves eagles and makes books and movies and YouTube Videos about beause they are so "cool" because they eat foxes and sheep. Bald Eagles are OK because they only eat fish and smaller birds, but Golden Eagles have always been my least favorite animal for a special (not in the good way) reason.
Alligators are overrated, if anything caimans and gharials are underrated not crocs and gators.
I really don't get all the dislikes. Tigers would never fight bears in the wild because they live in different habitats, and they probably wouldn't willingly fight. I'm just saying that if they fight for survival, the bear would typically win
I really hate big cats for being overrated and I've even searched on youtube for a crocodile winning against a big cat but none. just the big cat winning against the croc all the time
People think they can easily win against bears, even the grizzly. But bears can actually crush tigers.
Okay, dinosaurs are cool, but... oh my god how do I explain this. Now the t.rex was just getting WAY too much hype when the ankylosaurus could just snap their legs by swinging their tails. You search randomly "the best dinosaur" and t.rexes are ALWAYS number one. Like, what's so cool about them? They're just another species of predators, not a hell-destroying, earthbreaking and universe-shaking dinosaur which isn't that cool at all. Everywhere you see about dinosaurs, all they talk about were t.rexes. Besides, it was so overrated now nobody knew any dinosaur except for t.rexes. I tried to search about other way cooler dinosaurs like raptors and all that pops up were t.rexes. What's so good about it?
They get way to much attention, everyone always talks about how they are mistreated at aquariums like sea world and should be freed but they never say anything about all the other animals at the aquariums like sharks, octopuses, seals, otters, eels, dolphins, penguins, polar bears, alligators and fish. and what makes them so much more important than the other aquatic animals? is it because they look cool or something? I just don't see why they get so much more attention to be freed than other aquatic animals.
Deer are always stereotyped to cause car crashes. That would be moose. Moose are scary. Deer are worthless and get preyed on every carnivore in their area.
Underrated. People consider them as pests but they are really beautiful animals. they are so graceful and pretty
Rhinos are like tanks sure, but it is not a good tank. It is blind, more blind than the people who like these animals.
Rhinos are cool, they charge at things.
Everyone loves horses and they are getting annoying. Horses have been the basis of freedom in spirit, which is why they are domesticated. Another point is that everyone thinks that they are fast. So many other animals are faster than them. If we domesticated those earlier then no one would care about horses.
Every little girl is completely obsessed with them and I'm sick of it. They're obsolete in my country anyways.
There's nothing special about them. I don't quite understand horse people
Mistaken as a nice, cuddly animal when the fact that it is one of the most dangerous animals. I blame The Lion Guard for making a hippo nice instead of hyenas.
The Lion Guard is to blame. Hippos are one of, if not, the most dangerous land animal. Yet, uneducated people think they're "nice" animals because of Beshte.
People love watching them in zoos but all they do is wade underwater.
People think of them like cute and smart babies. They are actually psychopathic killing machines which can rip your face off.
Smart? Yes
Gentle? No
Just because they are our closest cousins dosen't mean they aren't still wild animals. They will throw stuff at you and kill each other.
Polar bears don't deserve all of the conservation they're getting. They're not even endangered! They are actually classified as vulnerable. There are other, lesser-known animals that are in far more danger of extinction, like the southern hairy-nosed wombat, of which there are less that 100 left in existence! We should first focus our money on protecting and conserving critically endangered animals like the southern hairy nosed wombat, because they need it most. Then we should put money towards protecting animals like polar bears. I'm not saying we shouldn't conserve polar bears, I'm just saying that they don't need our protection as much as some other species.
Foxes are seen as mystical creatures from the woods, while also being sly and cunning. There are more clever animals such as the kea, a bird from New Zealand. You can't use the term bird brain now.
I hate how teachers teach little kids about foxes as though they are the most dangerous animals alive. Whenever I see one it just runs off and I never see it again.
This is the most overrated animal. They're not even that cute. Quit acting like they're the return of Jesus or something. They're nothing special.
