Top 10 Worst Animal Stereotypes

The Top Ten

  1. Cats are mean

    Some cats are mean, but it's not fair to judge a whole species because of ONE of its kind. Every cat is different.

    Not all cats are mean. Some cats are super sweet. Also, cats are my favorite animal.

  2. Pigs are nasty

    They are actually very smart. People only think they're nasty because they roll around in mud. They do that because mud works for them like sunscreen works for us. It's actually a very smart thing to do.

  3. Dolphins are friendly

    They are NOT friendly! They drag people down and drown them just for fun. They also kill sharks just for fun!

    Nope! Some dolphins are aggressive and hostile.

  4. Foxes are sneaky

    They are not mean, sneaky, or cunning.

  5. Hyenas are evil

    The Lion King isn't what made hyenas seem evil. It was an African legend before The Lion King, and in The Lion King, only one clan is bad.

  6. Poodles are snobby

    It's so annoying. Just because poodles are pretty doesn't make them snobby. Poodles are loyal dogs.

  7. Cows are stupid

    They are so cute and have best friends. They are known to show emotion, and they mourn when a loved one dies.

  8. Bats are evil

    Only vampire bats suck blood, and they do it to survive. They also don't drink human blood much.

  9. Lions are the kings of the jungle

    They are NOT! This stereotype annoys me because lions don't even live in the jungle. They live in the savanna. Tigers live in the jungle, and they are also stronger than lions.

    Nope. Lions don't even live in the jungle. Tigers do. Not to mention that tigers are stronger than lions.

  10. Black cats are bad luck

    Nope.

    Black cats are actually just misunderstood. This superstition originated in Europe, where black cats are associated with the devil and witches. Partly because of this myth, black cats are adopted less often in animal shelters.

    It's not fair to judge a cat by its color.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Snakes are tricky and evil

    They are NOT evil or deceitful! They're only predators trying to survive, like all animals. The Bible ruined the reputation of snakes.

    They just want to survive. That's why they eat smaller animals.

  12. ?

    Donkeys are stubborn

    They are actually really smart.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Pomeranians are spoiled

  14. Hadrosaurs are helpless predator fodder

    Hadrosaurs were fully capable of defending themselves. They could fight off predators by biting, kicking, tail-whacking, and trampling.

    Again, how are we supposed to know that? They are extinct.

  15. Dodos are stupid

    They had no predator instinct because they lived with no predators for a long time.

  16. Velociraptors are big scaly monsters with cutting claws

    They actually had feathers and were only the size of a turkey or a coyote.

  17. Dinosaurs are stupid

    How are we supposed to know that? We don't know if they were smart or dumb because they are extinct.

  18. Pigs are greedy

    They wouldn't eat as much as you'd think.

  19. Wolves are evil

    Just because they are carnivores and kill other animals to survive doesn't make them evil.

  20. Tyrannosaurus rexes can only see things that move

    We actually think that they had good vision.

  21. Elephants are afraid of mice

    That's such a stupid stereotype.

  22. Rhinos are blind and mean

    Who says they're blind?

  23. Dogs hate mailmen

    Depends on the dog.

  24. Dogs hate cats

  25. Cats do not swim

    They can actually swim very well. They just don't like water.

  26. Sharks are evil

  27. Piranhas are evil

    They just need food.
