Elephant
Herd of elephants
If you've ever seen an elephant in person, then you can understand how the mammal is so dangerous. While perceived in films like Dumbo as a gentle giant, the elephant is actually quite easily agitated—and thanks to its humongous size, all it has to do is trample on whatever's bothering it to make the problem go away (like the nearly 500 people it kills every year).

In Australia, dingo attacks on wildlife are so common that a Dingo Fence was constructed in the late 1800s just to keep them out. And while attacks on humans are less common, they have been known to happen—even, according to an Australian Broadcasting Corporation report, as recently as last month.

The world's oldest known breed of domesticated dog dates back to 329 BC.
Dogs are well known for being man's best friend, and it turns out that's a relationship that goes back longer than you might expect. According to Guinness World Records, the oldest known breed of domesticated dog goes all the way back to 329 BC. "Saluki dogs were revered in ancient Egypt, being kept as royal pets and being mummified after death," they note. "There are carvings found in Sumer (present-day southern Iraq) which represent a dog, closely resembling a saluki, which date back to 7000 BC."

Ghost crabs growl using teeth in their stomachs
Crabs may be able to intimidate other creatures with their claws, but if that's not enough, ghost crabs will growl at their enemies like a dog. However, unlike our canine friends, crabs make these fearsome noises using teeth located in their stomachs. "There are three main teeth—a medial tooth and two lateral teeth—that are essentially elongated, hard (calcified) structures. They are part of the gastric mill apparatus in the stomach, where they rub against each other to grind up food," Jennifer Taylor, from the University of California, San Diego, told Newsweek. She and her colleagues were able to nail down the source of the noise after noticing that "the crabs [were] 'growling' at" them.

Koala fingerprints are so close to humans' that they could taint crime scenes.
Koalas might not seem to have a lot in common with us, but if you were to take a closer look at their hands, you'd see that they have fingerprints that are just like humans'. In fact, they're so similar when it comes to the distinctive loops and arches, that in Australia, "police feared that criminal investigations may have been hampered by koala prints," according to Ripley's Believe It or Not. Any koalas who want to commit crimes would be wise to do so wearing gloves.
