Reddit Explains 20 Animals That Are Not As Dangerous As Everyone Thinks

We don't know about you, but whenever we go to the zoo we always wish we could pet all the animals. They look so calm and cute, and we fantasize about bringing one of them home and keeping them as our loving pet. Imagine bringing home and having a cheetah to snuggle with every day! Also, how cool would it be to tell everyone that you have a pet cheetah?

Don't worry, we're not going to go all "Tiger King" on you, but we did find this very interesting Reddit thread about animals that are perceived as dangerous, but are actually more friendly than people think! We're not saying you should go out of your way to go and touch them in the wild, but it's just good to know so that we can live our lives with a little more respect and a little less fear.

They also "meow" instead of roar! It's very cute, if you haven't seen a video of it before, we highly suggest you go and look for a video of it on Youtube. You won't regret it. Kind of friend-shaped and kind of friendly, amazing! One step closer to having one as a snuggle buddy.

Fun fact: We actually encountered a black bear once while we were camping. We hung our food a tree (like you're supposed to), and we woke to the bear trying to climb the tree to get the food! We just waited patiently for it to give up, and then it walked away. It was pretty crazy, though!
