Speaking of reputation, let me be clear. Animals themselves are not dangerous, but they are on the fringes of conservation thanks to humans spreading nonsense about them. Take the wolf, for example. The wolf ate Red Riding Hood and Granny,and I think it ate Grandpa,but I\’m not sure anymore. And they attack people, they eat people, they attack everything that moves. So we have to exterminate them. Well, it\’s almost over.

Such untruths about wolves abound among the common people. They believe it and persecute wolves. Unnecessarily. Of course wolves attack sheep. But why? Because wolves have no natural food. And, as befits a fairy tale, they sometimes attack humans, but this is a rather special case. After all, it is better to properly protect one\’s own pack in the classical way than to kill wolves. As a final aside, if I were a farmer and the wolves were killing my sheep, I would probably say something different.

Another part of the animal is not a great friend to humans because of its appearance. The animal, not the human.

For example, snakes, alligators, frogs, slugs, scorpions, and all manner of other pests. Among frogs, the Nassica tabaccus of the Western Ghats wins. Another terror is the blobfish, thatslimy fishwith a human-like nose. And finally, the third animal chosen at random. This is the mole. A mole? An unpopular mole? Has our little painted mole ever gotten his knickers in a twist, entertained children, and gone into space? Impossible. It is. Real moles are cute, but the mole I have in mind is not very relatable. His name is Star-Nosed Mole and he doesn\’t live here. Unfortunately, I don\’t have the license rights to post his picture here, so you\’ll have to find him yourself. One last sentence. These animals are also important to nature in some way, even if they don\’t look like it.
