Top 10 Animal Stereotypes

The Top Ten
1 All bats are blind

Nope, That's a myth, About 1,100 Species of bat can see and their vision is good, But not good as night-hunting animal's vision.

Bats aren't blind dang it.

Most of them aren't

2 Cats are lazy
3 Wolves eat humans if they are near or see them

I read a true story about a friendly black wolf who hung around a town in Alaska. His name was Romeo. He was friends with all the local dogs and they'd play together! A book was even written about him.

4 Pigs are always dirty

Yes, they are.

5 Dolphins are always happy and smiling

You always think, "Oh, look at those dolphins circling fish and eating them live! They must be having a good time with their fellow friends! " Just- no. Just- no.

They aren't, their snout makes them look like they're happy but dolphins have the same feelings as other animals

6 Cows are more stupid than most animals

Cows (especially bulls) can be really smart. They are actually smarter than horses. At rodeos, bull riding is more difficult than riding a bronco because a bull knows to spin in a tight circle and to change directions, in order to get the rider off it's back. Broncos don't usually deviate from bucking straight forward.

Cows are even smart enough to protect their young ones.

7 Cats are aloof
8 Snakes are tricky and evil
9 Dogs are man's best friend

Most dog breeds aren't friendly

Sometimes not always

They really are.

10 Raccoons always steal

Yeah, they're little burglars. They'll steal food if they can.

The Contenders
11 All mice are poisonous
12 Foxes are sly/tricky
13 Chickens are stupid

They are one of the smartest animals besides humans (and there are 50 billion chickens in the world!

14 Spiders bite you if you go close to them

To be honest, every animal would do the same. If you get TOO close, animals (especially if it's wild) might feel threatened and attack, so don't get too close

15 All dogs are aggressive
