1. Raspberries With a quick scan of this list, it's safe to say berries are the equivalent of leafy greens in the vegetable world. They're packed with fiber (8g per cup that's about a third of your daily needs!), contain a variety of phytonutrients, and their net antioxidant effect is, gram for gram Additionally, a 2011 study showed that consuming 60 grams of black raspberry powder slowed the growth rate of colorectal cancer cells and the blood vessels that supply them in two to four weeks. Researchers believe that the fruit phytochemicals stimulate our own enzyme defenses that neutralize cellular waste products known as free radicals, which, left unchecked, promote cellular deterioration and lead to cancerous mutations. 2.

10. Cape Buffalo Cape buffalo, which number around 900,000, are a relatively mild species when left alone, preferring to travel in massive herds to graze in early morning and late afternoon hours or to gather around watering holes to stay hydrated. However, if an individual (or its calf) is threatened or wounded, they become the incarnation of their nickname: Black Death.

1.Slow loris  With an unnervingly wide-eyed stare, the slow loris hails from the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia and is notable for its plush but strong limbs. Slow lorises can hang by their feet for hours at a time -- and often do. Despite its huggable appearance, this animal is venomous. The venom comes from a gland in the elbow and, like a party trick invented by Dracula, is ejected through the teeth. This venom, however, isn't enough to save the slow loris from the dangers of the pet trade; it's listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List. There are five distinct species of slow loris, including the Bornean slow loris, which can be found on the island of Borneo and spotted with the help of Borneo Eco Tours. 2. Chameleon Maybe bulging eyes, slightly down-turned mouth, curly, prehensile tail and extremely long tongue, the chameleon is one of the more appealing reptiles. As remarkable as its color-changing mood swings is the peculiar way chameleons move in a rocki
