Disclaimer - I love animals and im fascinated by them! But truly some have an aura of menace about them...
To start, I give you the Shoebill Stork. Not dangerous or anything but...disconcerting.

@maybelou

I can't remember the name of the breed but those dogs with the long pointy faces give me the shivers, they look like they've been elongated
Afghan hounds?

Chinchillas or ferrets 😨😨😨 when they move it makes my skin crawl

charliebear78 · 23/06/2021 12:56

Look at the eyes of that middle one!

Glad I’m not the only one who dislikes sloths, I don’t get the current worldwide obsession with them! Was it Kristin Bell who was in floods of tears meeting one because she loves them so much? I don’t get it!

charliebear78 · 23/06/2021 12:55

Definitely ostriches and I also do not trust one bit llamas or alpacas

Manatees. Sinister fuckers.

Tlollj · 23/06/2021 12:52

Sloths. I always think they’d be climbing all over me. Urghhh

hazandduck · 23/06/2021 12:51

Before I opened the thread I was thinking the shoebill stork. They are so creepy!

Bbq1 · 23/06/2021 12:51

@ComDummings

Also the giant golden-crowned flying fox.
Hell, that's Scary
toastjam · 23/06/2021 12:50

Anteaters freak me the fuck out

Gullible2021 · 23/06/2021 12:50

Ostriches.

I am terrified of them. Proper shady creatures, ostriches are.

Firefretted · 23/06/2021 12:47

Mink. Mean, slinky little f*ers

Babymeanswashing · 23/06/2021 12:46

They are beautiful, but birds of prey look so cold, somehow.

JohnSteinbeck · 23/06/2021 12:46

I can’t understand the love for pugs or bulldogs. They just don’t look attractive to me.
