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.

Dolphins, with their weird, creepy Jokeresque smiles.

Baboons. They would tear you limb from limb. And enjoy it.

Anything that lives in the sea tbh. I find most sealife creepy Blush.

But particularly blob fish and angler fish.

poorfanjo · 23/06/2021 13:26

Moose! They're so so big!! Like 7 foot tall

possums
cameleons

Dolphins. Creepy AF. Plus have you seen that episode of The Simpsons?

OhRene · 23/06/2021 13:30

Lampreys are a horror show. In fact, I'm pretty sure the alien monsters in a Stephen King movie were based on lampreys and attacked from the toilet bowl

SpikeDearheart · 23/06/2021 13:30

Naked mole rat - looks like a penis with teeth, poor thing.

Shoebilled storks will possibly be showing up in my nightmares now.
Hyenas. Always thought of them as small until I saw a photo of a man with one on a lead, which I momentarily mistook for a dog, only huge and viscious looking. Never looked at them the same way again.
Absolutely anything with it's knees higher than it's head.

AsanteSana · 23/06/2021 13:37

Penis fish and someone beat me to Naked Mole Rat

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 23/06/2021 13:38

Eels and lampreys.

I’m terrified of them. Even writing it makes me feel ill.

Smolgoose · 23/06/2021 13:46

Kangaroos that look like big muscly men are disturbing.

I'm mind own by the moose, I thought they were around the size of a red deer.

Does the poster who mentioned dogs with stretched faces mean a bull terrier? Every bull terrier i've met has been lovely, but the poor things look like they should be cockney gangsters, running a protection racket and talking about what nice young lads the krays were whilst chainsmoking. Poor dogs.

I really don't like kangaroos, but I love those storks and bats.
