Here are some disturbing animal facts cuz i’m a nerd (be careful when reading):

Baby koalas eat their mother’s poop to get the bacteria that helps them digest eucalyptus, they’re also known for eating dirt.

The reason people haven’t domesticated zebras is because they’re highly aggressive and they cause the most amount of accidents at zoos. If a male zebra wants to mate with a female that has a foal with her, the male proceeds to drown the child in front of the mother while she desperately tries to defend it.

Giant petrels eat baby penguins, usually entering through the back while the defenseless parents cannot stop it and just watch their chick slowly die. They also spit their highly acidic gastric juices out of their mouth if threatened. If you see one with their head covered in red you’ll know it just finished violating their meal.

Dogs kill more people a year than a single shark does it’s entire life.

Giant anteaters are blind and attack by slashing wildly at anything that moves, and their claws are used to break through ant and termite mounds, which are as hard as cement, meaning they’re one of the only animals a jaguar will hesitate to attack.

Hyenas got really bad rep because of The Lion King, only seen as hungry scavengers, but in reality, they are even more efficient predators that lions are.

Male otters are aggressive and are known to “do things” to members of their own species (other animals too), and then murk them, this includes their own pups. Otters are also highly vicious critters that can take out fully grown caimans and scare away jaguars.

Male chimpanzees are known to rip each others balls off when they fight.

Orcas are known to play “volleybal” with any other sea creature that’s unfortunate enough to be near them for no apparent reason, they do this by launching them with their tail several feet in the air until they perish. This includes seals and mantarays, the orcas don’t even eat the animal afterwards, they just stay there, watching the corpse slowly float down into the abyss.

Animals like lions, bears and most rodents, are known to cannibalize their children.
