When it comes to wild creatures, everyone knows that there are certain things you just don't do when you come in contact with them. You don't pull a crocodile's tail or invite a rattlesnake into your room. But would you know not to pet a platypus? Its poisonous hind legs make this odd animal a very dangerous mammal. Or would you know not to stare at a spitting cobra? One shot of its venom can cause its victim to become blind. Should you come across a bear cub, be sure not to cuddle it...the baby bear might not bother you, but its mother is another story.
