Or, use the template or illustrations in the book to free draw the blackbird onto black paper with a light colored crayon or oil pastel.Cut out the bird and place on top of the sun. Glue it down when you are happy with the placement. Tip: don’t add glue all the way to the edge of the paper bird.

With black, and looks adorable. Despite its reasonably small size, the hooded pitohui is poisonous. In 1989, this bird was titled “Most Poisonous Bird.” The bird creates its poison through food, and its venom is quite potent. Touching the feathers of this little bird is even dangerous, and getting bitten can lead to serious health complications, including paralysis and even death sometimes.Hooded Pitohui perched on a branch14. PandasCan you believe that pandas, the fluffiest cute animals on earth, can be dangerous? After all, pandas are species of bears, right? So they must possess some of their deadly traits. Pandas are wild bears that are native to China. Their fluffy white and black fur makes them look quite cuddly and cute. To be fair, pandas are seriously cute animals with a quiet nature and innocent appearances. They rarely feel the urge to attack humans or other creatures. However, like any other wild animal, when they feel threatened or provoked, they reveal their sharp claws and their teeth. Besides, pandas have strong bodies, which makes their attacks devastating when they happen. A panda bear looking towards the camera15. HippopotamusThe hippopotamus is the scientific name of the cute hippo. These cute animals are river mammals that live across different regions of Africa. Their heavy bodies imply might and power. They also have giant heads and walk on short but sturdy legs. Their physical characteristics make them look like cute animals, but being the third largest mammal, they can inflict damage. Hippos come third in ranking after elephants and white rhinos. Their heavy weight makes them look slow, but they are swift swimmers and can even outrun humans. They also have vast and sharp teeth. Unfortunately, these seemingly cute animals are responsible for killing hundreds of people in Africa every year. Hippo out in the waters16. Domestic CatsDomestic cats are those that live in people’s houses as pets. So, you may think it’s weird they’re on this list. Before you freak out, let us make things clearer for you. Cats are cute animals; they’re furry and cuddly, with adorable eyes and tiny paws. They’re too weak to kill humans, and their injuries aren’t serious. Domestic cats are intelligent and quick, and while they’d never kill you in your sleep, they can put down anything in your backyard. Cats are deemed deadly for other smaller and weaker creatures. They can catch birds and flies and take them down. Cats can also kill rabbits, chickens, and sometimes even dogs. Cute house cat resting on a blanket17. Polar BearWhen we think of cute animals, polar bears somehow get into the picture. And they aren’t cute in terms of behaviour, but their looks are fascinating. Yet, watching these
