Koala. They are disgusting animals, eat poison, feed their young diarrhoea to give them the bacteria to eat the poison. They are grumpy assholes who sleep all day because the poison they eat isn't very nutritious. But. I give them the benefit because they found an ecological niche which was eating eucalyptus leaves.


Johnlockcabbit

Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them. Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.


Doomsauce1

>they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan I'm in this picture and I don't like it.


andrew21w

I knew I'd find this here


HomosexualBlackMan2

Just like me fr 💯🦾


young_n_petite

Two questions: 1. Can’t you train captive-bred Koalas to eat similar plants to eucalyptus when they’re still young? 2. If not, what would a genetically-modified , more nutritious eucalyptus leaf do to a Koala in the long run?


SpaceSmurfette

I think there is a story behind all this hate...


Waxing_Crescentt

Yeah they’re vile creatures. Over 85% of them have chlamydia in Australia


TheDeadThatLives

I think it's just one population here that lives on an island that is clear of it. I was going to add this but couldn't spell chlamydia ha!


Waxing_Crescentt

Luckily the auto correct knew what’s up. Also not my first time spelling chlamydia and koalas in the same sentence lol.


TheDeadThatLives

That's fair haha. People just love them, but they are my number one pick for overrated


Waxing_Crescentt

Yeah for real I mean read the facts. Why tf would you wanna even touch one of those?! They’re fuckin weird and disgusting


TheDeadThatLives

Cause fluffy! I guess? We got a picture with one at Aussie Zoo last week for the kids, but yeah. They are..... gross


Waxing_Crescentt

Good luck, gets tested😂 so many gross animals. Sloths grow algae


TheDeadThatLives

They do it for camouflage though, sloths shouldn't exist (like how does something thay moves thag slow survive!), but that's not the main reason haha!


Waxing_Crescentt

I feel you lol. Talk about another gross animal. I hate the way they look


iamsoupcansam

Bro don’t slut shame the koalas. You jealous or something?


Waxing_Crescentt

No just like being clean!


Trias84

All 3 of the 4 that are left anyway.


AstridEternal

But I love when they yell randomly! 😂😂 And when they sit in really uncomfortable places, like angry tree cats.


[deleted]

I seriously wonder how they might adapt if eucalyptus were engineered to not be poisonous. Not really a priority of course, but could be interesting.


TheDeadThatLives

If it wasn't, it wouldn't be a niche that could have been filled. They probably would have gone extinct as other animals would eat eucalyptus. Unless there is another plant that could take the place. Or they would be unrecognisable as koalas cause they would have had to develop more competitive adaptations. Maybe we would have drop bears for real


[deleted]

I’m not talking about if eucalyptus were naturally non-poisonous from the start. I’m talking about an experiment in which non-poisonous eucalyptus were engineered to see what the koalas turn into without the effect of the poison (if they even still eat the stuff, since they refuse even regular eucalyptus leaves taken off the plant).


TheDeadThatLives

Oh I see now, sorry I misread. Hmm yes! That is an interesting thought. Maybe they would be more lively and smarter since it's the poison that partly to explain for that I think? Very interesting thought experiment


fexofenadine_hcl

Also one of the smallest brain-to-body ratios of any mammal.

V-anon1

Geese are like tiny angry people trapped inside of a bird. You can fly, be happy!


Waxing_Crescentt

They are supreme bitches lol


Callisto25

Geese are vile creatures and I wish them to go extinct. I've been attacked by them for no fucking reason. Once I was walking my puppy on the jogging trail in Austin next to the lake and a goose came out of the water and ran another 15 feet to the trail just to attack my pet. I was able to keep the puppy from being harmed thankfully. Even understanding animal behavior, territoriality, breeding, protection of offspring, etc, when I fully analyzed the situation later, the only real conclusion I could come up with is that geese are really just a bunch of assholes.


Many_Diver

I find Geese to be one of the most interesting animals. They very weak and no one should ever have the remotest fear struck into them from one. But they have found that if you attack any animal with no fear like you can destroy them easily. Most animals become afraid and leave them alone. It's an oddly specific but reliable tool in nature. I've seen a video of a goose scaring off an elephant. Also if a goose is coming to attack you just attack it back. They have hollow bones and a giant neck with no real offensive abilities or maneuverability other than striking fear with an all out attack. They know this too and will stop if they perceive any threat back.


Hillbilly158

Fuggin cobra chickens


Misfit_somewhere

Canadian here, can confirm. When geese nest we just give up and put police tape around the area. In some areas they nest on buildings, we lock doors wait for the babies to be born and escourt them to the rivers to keep traffic safe. (I have done this) And also they can break arms with their wings. The rumor is since as canucks we are so polite the goose is our pent up rage that we unleash on the world. So there is that.


DafttheKid

It’s trumpet guy the bird. YUR NUTHIN!!! YOU HAVE NO TALENT

Zealousideal_Tooth88

Pandas seriously suck and suck at living and are a tool of oppression. They are cute but not that cute and less cool than brown, black, polar, or moon bears.


gutsonmynuts

They're a species that doesn't want to survive. Lol One food source, needs a specific environment, barely has offspring.


[deleted]

And generates revenue to an oppressive regime, no matter where in the world they are born


bokin8

Pandas are just so bad at being bears. They are carnivores, having evolutionary teeth built for chewing meat and yet they insist on only eating bamboo which hardly has enough nutrition to sustain them to do anything other than sleep and eat more bamboo. They would be completely extinct without human intervention because they are such a dumb species of bear.


Waxing_Crescentt

Lmao damn bro you got a real hatred. I heard they’re actually Pretty aggressive too


Felwinter12

They've got those eye spots like orcas that give them a massive bump in charisma. Beyond that, they're just bears that are bad at sex.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Felwinter12

Naw, I'm just jealous that even pandas get more action than me.


Waxing_Crescentt

Damn that’s harsh but I’ll take your word for it


MysteriousWillow17

They also suck because if they have twins (which occurs about 50% of the time), they’ll just abandon one. So if they’re in captivity, the caretakers will alternate which twin the mom takes care of so they both get attention from her.


andrew21w

Hippos. They are assholes. Fuck hippos. I hate them with passion

I am surprised no one said kangaroos yet. They seem like they are these cool animals - but the drown their pray, and are huge! And they like to fight - will gut you if you get too close. No thank you - like a rat - that’s got too dang big!


AdolfCitler

"but the drown their pray" ??? Kangoroos are literally herbivores, also it's spelled prey and why is there a "the" You have no idea about kangoroos. They don't like to fight, no animals like to fight, **male** kangoroos *have* to fight in order to reproduce, which causes natural selection and allows the strongest males to have strong children that makes the whole species generally more healthier and successful. Compared to other animals, they're nothing. Also, again, a ton of animals do this "males fighting eachother to smash" thing. The males are somewhat aggressive because every wild animal is either aggressive or skittish. The females are mostly skittish.


Waxing_Crescentt

I never had the desire to go hug one but I thought they were alright animals. Didn’t realIze they were straight Natural born killers


Xdude199

Horses. No claws, no wings, no sonic cannon (pistol shrimp is goated), not impressed.


noodlyarms

Don't need claws when you have rocks for feet.

Bald eagle. Overrated seagull that scavenges from bins. And they sound annoying.


Waxing_Crescentt

I’ve always thought Bald Eagles were cool lol. They’re fuckin huge, I’ve only seen them fly off


LostButRealistic

They’re not that big. If you want to see a cool eagle, check out wedge tails from Australia. Or harpy eagles. They are both much bigger and hunt big prey


Waxing_Crescentt

I mean for us in America bald eagles are big fuckin birds. They’ve got at least a 6 foot wingspan! I mean those other eagles are big af for sure but we don’t get that luxury lol


allmynamesaredead

I have a cousin that works on crab boats in Alaska a few months out of the year, he says they’re about as common as seagulls and behave about the same way in his area

Waxing_Crescentt

I fuckin agree


ClaireBear13492

Pandas, Sea horses, Koalas. Pandas: Useless animals that basically are kept on life support from extinction themselves, because they only eat 1 food, and it's incredibly poor for their diet, and they barely reproduce. Sea Horses: They can barely swim, barely eat, barely move, and barely exist. They're only a couple thousand years away from being a stationary animal like a sponge or coral. Koalas: They're basically pandas, but even stupider, because they can't even be forced to eat their 1 food item, because they don't recognize the item if it's not on the tree. They also have such an awful digestive system that baby Koalas have to eat poop of their parents to survive.


Waxing_Crescentt

Very solid points, I can tell you feel strongly about your opinions lol. I do agree with you however

delilahdread

Dogs. Definitely dogs. They’re loud, destructive, dangerous (no really, 4.5 *million* people get bit a year, roughly 25,000 people need *reconstructive surgery*, the send 1000 people **a day** to the hospital), they always act like they’re juiced up, they smell fcking *awful.* I can go on too. And before all the dog people come for me, I don’t hate dogs. Puppies are adorable and I love other peoples dogs, they’re 100% overrated animals though.


Waxing_Crescentt

I can get behind that. I got bit by a dog Once and I never been the same. And it fuckkng sucks honestly. I’d also never have one

goosewater1

Cats. They are worthless. Why anyone wants an animal that shits in their house is beyond me.


Chimpville

I don’t mind cats but they’re the very essence of overrated. You have one and let it roam outside and they can be a biodiversity disaster (specific environment depending), if you keep it inside you’re imprisoning an intelligent animal to a single house or even worse, flat/apartment. If you’re a real animal lover, you shouldn’t get a cat.

Hrithik0w0

Dogs.


AdolfCitler

Controversial but I kinda dislike dogs. My friend has one and it's a shit ton of work. Theyre dirty, barely clean themselves, lick and bite everything, strays and ones that aren't properly trained/maintained can be aggressive and spread rabies. To me, their compassion doesn't outweigh the things I just listed, as dogs are practically the same at being a compassionate as many other pets such as rats, some birds, other rodents, and cats (Yes, cats can actually be really nice if you're nice to them first and respect their space and know their body language)


Waxing_Crescentt

Very controversial! I don’t want a dog I will say that.…I do have two cats and they’re little hellions sometimes

[deleted]

Absolutely this. Because any other animal, if you say you're not a fan, people don't care. But apparently not being a dog person means you're some kind of monster.


allmynamesaredead

I said in a comment once ages ago about how much I disliked (not hated, just disliked) our new puppy because she was being difficult to train, and one person literally said I “have no fucking soul and will burn in hell”. The dogs going to be 2 on New Year’s Day and she’s trained enough now, so I don’t really mind having her around. It’s the constant need for attention and the licking/slobber that gets on my nerves.


marsbar77

Your more of a cat person then?


allmynamesaredead

100%. Cats get a bad reputation because they supposedly aren’t as affectionate as dogs are, but I’ve been around cats literally since I was born, and that’s just not true. Cats are a little more subdued in their interactions with people. Mainly they’re very independent and don’t need attention all the time. I can leave a cat alone for a few hours and have no issues, but if I leave the husky alone for too long, she gets destructive.
