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.

Leopard seals. They look a bit evil and remind me of snakes in a way other seals don’t

Anglerfish!
Must be the creepiest looking creatures on earth

I love English bullies @Smolgoose. Absolutely daft they are and look like sheep

knackeredcat · 23/06/2021 13:59

All spiders, nope to posting any pictures.
Chlamydosaurus (frilled lizard) - creepy name, creepy when they run and scream, too unnerved to post any links to videos.

Snake head turtles 😱

inigomontoyahwillcox · 23/06/2021 14:01

Centipedes and millipedes.
Any animal that has a permanent grin on its face (excluding the Quokka - that are just bloody adorable) as they just look psychotic (I appreciate that I'm being anthropomorphic)

The aye-aye with its creepy long middle finger that it uses for tapping termites out of wood. Creepy little bastards.

@SpikeDearheart

Star nosed mole
I refuse to believe that is a real animal! 😲
BrownEyedGirl80 · 23/06/2021 14:02

Kangaroos.Menacing muscly bastards

MustardRose · 23/06/2021 14:02

Monkeys. All of them. Especially baboons, they are horrible creatures. Apes are ok though.

Can't stand leatherjackets, the larvae of the daddy-long-legs. Ugh.

ISpeakJive · 23/06/2021 14:03

The Aye Aye is slightly, odd...

Definitely dolphins, why are they always smiling? What do they know that we don't?

OMG yes! Forgot about those. They have very sinister faces (I'm sure they're very nice really Shock).

Eels and sloths, both make me shudder

CassandraCross · 23/06/2021 14:13

Monitor Lizards and Kimodo Dragons, ugh, look evil, are evil. Saw a programme once which had two of them fighting and one of the tactics is scratching - the sound and nastiness of it was extreme.

CassandraCross · 23/06/2021 14:14

but I love sloths.

Lightningrain · 23/06/2021 14:15

Most insects make me feel a bit ugh. All the legs and the way they move. Wasps and horse flies look so angry too.

TulipWoodpecker · 23/06/2021 14:15

Komodo dragons - stuff of my nightmares.
Tiny lizards, however, are adorable!

Mine too, apparently they smell utterly repugnant too but I'm never going anywhere near one to find out.

daisyjgrey · 23/06/2021 14:21

Moths. They're creepy.

Dolphins. Entirely untrustworthy and very suspicious.

daisyjgrey · 23/06/2021 14:22

I also dislike whippets, but mainly because they're quite skittish and annoying. I feel like if they were human they'd be the neurotic person at work who always had some kind of issue or drama on the go.

TableFlowerss · 23/06/2021 14:28

@hazandduck

Sorry but wtf
🤣😂
