Description:
The African crested rat? It's got that whole cute and cuddly vibe goin' on, but don't be fooled—it's packin' some serious venom. Yup, you read that right! This little dude coats its fur with toxins from poisonous plants, makin' it one of the sneakiest threats in the animal kingdom. And it ain't the only one playin' that game—there's plenty of other critters out there rockin' that adorable exterior but packin' a punch. From spiky hedgehogs to venomous frogs, nature's got a whole bunch of surprises up its sleeve. So, next time you spot somethin' lookin' all sweet and innocent, better think twice before gettin' too close!Credit: <br/>markaharper1, CC BY-SA 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pitohui_dichrous.jpg <br/>Pitohui dichrous: <br/>CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0: <br/>Maned rat: Kevin Deacon, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lophiomys_imhausi.jpg <br/>Nycticebus coucang: David Haring / Duke Lemur Center, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nycticebus_coucang_002.jpg <br/>Captive N. bengalensis: Helena Snyder, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Captive_N._bengalensis_from_Laos_with_6-week_baby.JPG <br/>Persian sand cat: Payman sazesh, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Persian_sand_CAT.jpg <br/>Felis margarita: Malene Thyssen, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sandkat1_(Felis_margarita).jpg <br/>Felis margarita: ErRu, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Felis_margarita_harrisoni_-_Sandkatze.jpg <br/>Stożki: Pet, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sto%C5%BCki2.jpg <br/>Textile cone: Richard Ling, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Textile_cone.JPG <br/>Anadenobolus monilicornis: Totodu74, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anadenobolus_monilicornis_03.JPG <br/>Harpaphe haydeniana: Walter Siegmund, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harpaphe_haydeniana_0446.JPG <br/>Hooded Pitohui: Benjamin Freeman, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hooded_Pitohui_1.jpg <br/>CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/: <br/>Charles J.
