Did you know that just like piggies and birds, there are plenty of species holding a grudge with each other? Ever heard of the confrontation between turtles and jellyfish? Hippos and crocodiles? Lizards and coyotes? Chef pig and Matilda? Oh wait, that last one is common knowledge of course. Anyway, birds are not the only angry species out there, and may not even be the angriest...
We’ve just heard (from extremely trustworthy sources) that there are four known levels of anger in the animal kingdom and that the birds are merely one of MANY species classified in one of those. These anger levels are:
LEVEL 1: ANNOYED
Hedgehogs, opossums and macaques are small and furry, but don’t let their cuteness fool you, these guys don’t appreciate petting. So hands off.
LEVEL 2: TESTY
You won’t get a laugh out of testy animals (testy, not tasty). Cross a llama’s line and you will be spat on, step on a skunk and we all know what’ll happen. Pooey! Did somebody fart?
LEVEL 3: OUTRAGED
Ever heard of piranha? That’s what we mean by outraged. Piranhas have razor-sharp interlocking teeth that allow them to bite off flesh and eat through bone. Ulp :O
LEVEL 4: FURIOUS
These beasts are super serious about anger. If you so much as look in their general direction you risk awakening pure, uncontrollable rage. Lions, bears and komodo dragons all fall into this category. ROAR!
This is just a sneak peek of the angriest animals on planet earth – for a more in-depth rage discovery, check out the new title from National Geographic: Angry Birds Showdown. It takes you on a whirlwind trip around the world, introducing you to the very angriest animals – as well as to their (equally enraged) archnemesis! And yes, we have a few copies to giveaway!
For a chance to get your hands on one of these angry books, all you have to do is tell us: Which of the four levels of anger are the birds in and why?
