It’s incredibly funny to me that so many of the animals we have designated as “cute” are actually incredibly dangerous
Bears: nature’s perfect killing machine, 300 kilos of pure muscle and fat armour, virtually unstoppable unless you’re an elephant or carrying a high calibre rifle, if you meet an aggressive one in the wild your only hope is to pretend you’re dead

Monkeys in children’s books: hehe look at the funny monke, hes got banana
Monkeys in real life: can and will eat your face. May also steal your wallet and/or throw their own shit at you
