Unfortunately, like people, some animals are just rude jerks! From birds to insects to mammals, here are six of the most obnoxious animals on the planet.<\/a><\/p>\n Most think of the lion as a noble, majestic beast who protects their pride as the master of his domain. Lions are even associated with Jesus Christ the bible and countless other stories and fables through history have been written about lions. Unfortunately, lions can behave badly, and toward their own children too! Male lions have been known to kill their own lion cubs if they are taking too of their mother\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ah, the hard working ant, lifting many times their own body weight for the good of the colony. But did you know that ants are the only species besides humans to start wars and enslave their own kind? To the winners go the spoils, and ants that are victorious capture any other surviving ants and enslave them. They also steal the other ant colony\u2019s eggs. These captives and, once they are hatched, the newborn captives are forced to work for the victor\u2019s colony until they die.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ugly, aren\u2019t they? Maybe this explains their bad behavior. They mate in a very unfortunate way; instead of normal mating habits, the males stab the females. Science says there is no medical reason for the bat-bug to do this other than to make the female suffer. Maybe they have terrible aim or maybe they\u2019re just jerks! Regardless, the African bat-bug gives new meaning to the \u201cbattle of the sexes\u201d with their violent struggles. Over time, the females of the species have developed defenses against the males to avoid being stabbed but it still happens.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Dolphins have even better PR than lions, with great reputations of being one of the smartest animals on the face of the earth. They have rescued swimmers and are used in physical therapy for human paraplegics. Unfortunately, like humans, dolphins are the only other animal that will kill for the fun of it. A study was conducted in the late 1990\u2019s when the carcasses of hundreds of porpoises began showing up, looking as though they were punched repeatedly in the stomach. Porpoises don\u2019t share food or compete with dolphins in any way, yet the bottle nosed jerks were attacking them in high numbers. Fortunately, dolphins haven\u2019t been known to attack humans.<\/p>\n\n
