Top 10 Most Misunderstood Animals
So many animals have been given a bad name by human culture and it's all mindless and unfair. These are the ones who have been given the worst name.sharks shouldn't be so misunderstood they aren't as big of a threat as they are put out to be. most of the time a person is attacked by a shark the shark is likely just being curious because a strange creature entered its home and it wants to figure it out and they don't have hands so they use there mouths to figure out if what they met was edible or not. another reason could be that you were splashing around in the water and screaming which to a shark is a struggling food item which is a easy meal also its been said that yellow, white, and silver seem to attract them. also when swimming try to avoid wearing black sweat suits and flippers which looks like a sharks favorite meal item a sea lion. still, sharks have more fear of us then we do of them in fact humans kill 80 million sharks a year, 25 million of which are a threatened species and only 14 shark attacks that are fatal a year on humans.
*Sigh...* Wolves still are misunderstood, but for a different reason as before... Wolfaboos, listen up. Wolves. Are. Not. Endangered. Some are, like the Ethiopian wolf, or the red wolf, but the grey wolf, the one most think about, is of least concern and its numbers are steady. They also don't have this crazy complex pack order, there are the two alphas that are the parents of the pack. They aren't some god creature, they are simply animals. Also, a Kangal could absolutely demolish a healthy wolf, just getting that out there.
Why do gorillas represent violence? I mean, they are very gentle and rarely start violence, when they pound their chest it's to seem tough, but they don't want to fight. Watch the YouTube video "KoKo the gorrila cries over loss of kitten"
Gorillas are really gentle and loyal I mean if you get them angry it's kind of reasonable.
Not many people are still as superstitious, and black cats are just as popular as pets as any other colour of cat. It isn't racism as a certain colour of cat is not a race. Also, don't wish that kind of fate on anyone, especially if their only 'crime' is being superstitious.
This is not true! I have walked past a black cat plenty of times if one happened to be passing by and nothing bad happened afterwards! Black cats are like all other cats and do not deserve this reputation because of a superstition!
I have a pet Black Cat named Blackie and he is so friendly, But also very shy around new people. Anyway Black Cats are just as good as any other cat!
People just don't like these guys because of them either being seen a flying rodents, or as scary monsters from movies like their association with vampires.
They're an important part of the ecosystem and their diet can range from fruit to insects. Some species are even pollinators. Even vampire bats provide help because their anticoagulant saliva has been used in medical science! Not to mention they never drink so much blood it has a negative impact on an animal.
Plus animals don't have to be useful to humans to be worth being kept alive.
Pigs are misunderstood for their dumbness when they are actually very smart. People usually look at the pigs as dumb, dirty, and dumb. They are kept as pets in some parts of the country. They love human attention and are trainable.
Pigs are really smart, despite not being able to look up all the way. They are nice, and cute. Lots of people simply see pigs as smelly, dirty, rotten creatures. Those people are heartless!
Both the piglets and the adults are the cutest animals I can think of. Lazing around, rolling in mud and not caring what people think of them somehow makes them more so.
I can't believe it when people said bears are evil. What did they do to you? They did NOTHING. They were just being protective of their kids! What's so bad about that? What if YOU had a kid, somebody suddenly comes over and chops your head off thus kidnapping your kids and antagonizing you until your species went threatened? Wow...
Bears are beautiful and not savage. Hunting provokes bears and seeking them out can of course make them feel threatened and make them attack. And yes, hunting is wrong. People once used it only when they needed fur and meat, but as a sport it is disgusting to take something's life just for a cruel 'sport'.
They're an important part of the ecosystem but people see reptiles as lesser than mammals and add the associations of snakes with evil culturally across the world and people with phobias of snakes, and you get the unfortunate bad treatment of snakes everywhere.
I know plenty of people who will viciously harass snake pet owners on social media for their choice of pet.
I see why people think snakes are dangerous. They can be fatal in one bite and eat their pray whole, I think that's a bit scary. But saying they are all mini versions of the devil or are all evil is just childish. You can say that dogs slobber, because it's a proven physical trait, not a personality one. Imagine if every human had the same personality, well, we are saying that is true to snakes. I love how cunning and fast they are, but they aren't mean. I had a pet snake that escaped a lot that was very active but not evil. Saying snakes are evil without even owning one is just childish, so please stop.
When somebody tells me they got stung by a bee, I always say, "Poor bee." You know why? Because if you get stung once or twice, you'll live most definitely, but bees will die most definitely. Besides, being scared gets you more prone to be stung because bees mistake it as aggression. If you're not scared, they sting you because you mess with them. If you feel like they stung you for no reason, stop being selfish! The bee died while you just got a little owie! It died, okay? The world bumble bee population is going down and nobody seems to care much. Yes, there's honey, but bees pollinate 90% of crops.
Mice are not dirty little rodents, they are actually intelligent. No one is too small to matter, they are natural students who excel at learning and understanding concepts, they have excellent memories, once rats learn a navigation route, they never forget it. Mice and rats are also highly social animals. They become attached to each other, love their own families, and easily bond with their human guardians. They make sounds similar to giggling when having fun. But who cares about rats and mice, right?
Really? They aren't misunderstood. I get that some of them are nice but a vast part of them are not. Call it stereotype, but it's true. One attacked this harmless cute little west I.e. At the dog park and really hurt it. The little waste was so happy, trotting around and smiling. Then a nasty pit bull went charging after it and pounced on it and the good natured west is was so petrified and hurt he couldn't stop him. I will never look at one the same again. I think they are cute and all, and I'm sure there are very nice ones out there, but you have to admit that a lot of them will attack. Way more than any other dog breed. I don't think they are misunderstood, I just think they are untrustworthy. 'enough said.
Thousands of ants are dying each day. When people keep killing ants, it's actually really mean, because they can't do anything but try to run away. Imagine there are these giants who keep smashing everyone. That's probably exactly how ants are feeling.
That's why carpenter ants exist. They are good for the environment and bite you a lot.
People think they are just birds that repeat what we say, they are wrong!
Honestly, there is nothing dangerous about them, unless you saw, say, a tarantula or a black widow. They protect your homes from other, more harmful insects, and you repay them by killing and fearing them. Another reason the human race is stupider than spiders.
Sorry. I'm a HUGE arachnophobe. If I even see a spider, I will not go into the room if I saw it in, and having a brown recluse drop from the ceiling onto my face... that didn't help my case. There's nothing wrong with spiders and they keep the bug population down, but If I see a spider in my house, sorry it's gonna get squashed.
Humans are not misunderstood. While some of us are pretty smart, there are still a huge number that aren't very smart in one form or another. And with everything we destroy and wipe out, all the greed and hatred we have, and pretty much every other problem we cause day in and day out, humans really are the biggest nuisance that the world has to other. Nothing is a bigger problem than mankind. Animals are more misunderstood than humans and regardless of what some people think, we are definitely NOT the dominant species on this planet.
Some people think Possums are ugly and mean. They are SO not ugly. They are really nice, don't chase or attack your pets, and their not mean I will say that again. When they are only in trouble they hiss, drool, try to look tough, and show their teeth. Their only protecting themselves. Don't be mean to them and say their ugly.
How are lions, cattle, and white tigers misunderstood? Not hating, just asking.
You know what is sad? Some people actually defend the bad reputation of hyenas, saying stuff like "they make good villains", or "hyena biologists are acting ridiculous", or "we must follow folk traditions since the 'evil hyena' stereotype has been used before so it must be kept being used again and again for generations" or other crud I don't care about. I know fiction is fiction, but The Lion King has been a horrible influence on peoples' views on the animals. Fans of the bad hyenas in The Lion King and The Lion Guard are not true hyena lovers.
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
There is no such things as cats that are "bad luck" and Sphinx cats may look odd, but I wouldn't say ugly. And contrary to popular belief they are not actually hairless. It only looks that way because it's so light and short. The superstitious belief of black cats bringing bad luck and Sphinx being ugly is pure nonsense!
They're often hated for looking "ugly" or having a "smooshed face", when they, like the black cats, can be as good and well cared for as any other cat.
They are probably the best thing in the world who hates them? Kill mode is loading.
Poor porcupines no one likes them, they don't try to prick you, Derek Small, the director of Wildlife Encounters Zoo says that this is not true. A porcupine cannot shoot its poisonous quills, but it can definitely release them into the face of some animal that starts sniffing it a little too close.
I love porcupines! They are so cute and their quills are only there to defend them against predators who want to eat them!
If you saw a sad-looking porcupine in the street holding a sign saying, "Free hugs", would you hug it?
