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.

Ugh what a horrid word

OhWhyNot · 23/06/2021 20:02

Kangaroos

If you are ever chased by one don’t let it chase you into water they will try to drown you (ok well they do this to dogs so I’m sure would do this to a human too)

Sloths

Raccoons

Kinda deceptive

Cows... creepy things with evil eyes

@Soubriquet

There's an animal that has holes in its back which its eggs are in.? Something like that. Eeewwwwww.

A type of toad called the Surinam toad

That. Is. Horrific. 🤢

This is the exact animal that popped into my head when I read the title.

It looks absolutely terrifying! I didn't believe it was real when I first saw, but alas, it is.

Awww. Most of these are quite cute, in their own special way Grin

I love the Shoebilled Stork, and the jumping spider is adorable.🕷️

Spot on to the T

Except she is a little sweetheart and adores children which is unusual for her breed. If I take her on a school run, you can find her laid belly up in a circle of children being pampered and adored.

I have another one too but she’s not so good with strangers so I keep her back

Murder Hornets!!!!

I think all animals look beautiful

The middle picture of the shoe bill stork on page 1 makes me think he is has a naughty streak

Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 18:31

You can’t mean my baby can you?!

Baboon arses are not pretty either
I always think of a baboon's buttocks when I see overdone lip enhancements!

ViciousJackdaw · 23/06/2021 18:30

I love sloths, apes and monkeys (except baboons - nasty little bastards) but what gives me the creeps is small dogs, esp. if yappy. Those white ones with long wavy hair which look like they have two black eyes. Evil.

@LubaLuca

Chimpanzees. They seem so aggressive, and those arses. It's mainly the arses.

I’m not keen on geese but these makes me even more eeeek

The other one is inside a leatherback turtles mouth. Creepy isn’t it

I can’t seem to add the photos so please do google

Viviennemary · 23/06/2021 18:23

Sloths for me too. I saw a zoo programme a while ago where they were featured. Gave me the creeps.

Love me an anteater, especially the giant ones. Not entirely sure about Shoebill storks though, they do look like dinosaurs. Also find bull terriers super creepy. Weird faces.

lollipoprainbow · 23/06/2021 18:18

@DysmalRadius Christ almighty that's terrifying !! I've just googled and it looks like someone dressed as a bird it's so human like.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 23/06/2021 18:16

No not crows! I love crows...

lollipoprainbow · 23/06/2021 18:13

Crows
