Certain animals can be slightly viscous, and for those readers with any doubts, just take a look at Xiau-Fong Wee's aggressive critter illustrations.
Xiau-Fong Wee is a talented artist who takes some of the most cuddly animals and transforms them into gun-wielding critters who are more than ready to "pop a cap." The black and white illustrations show off realistic drawings of various creatures ready to take on anything that appears threatening. What's even more hilarious is that every animal depicted is a herbivore. Any carnivore out there who wants to take a bit out of these guys will likely suffer the unfortunate fate of a bullet to the head. Looks like survival of the fittest in the animal kingdom no longer applies to a creature's dietary preference.
