Yawning Slow Loris
A slow loris captured mid-yawn - lorises are often used as photo-props as their cute looks attract tourists, but as you can see, they have very sharp teeth and can bite. If this happens toxins mixed with their saliva can cause a painful swelling, and even death where those bitten are allergic to the toxin. They may look cute, but they pack a punch!
