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.

Marabou stork. Properly gave me the creeps in Kenya.

Moray eels. Freaky massive wriggly fuckers. Met one in the sea once. Big fat nope.

Tardigrades, as @WhateverJohnnyMcNofriends said. My entire worldview shifted after I learnt of the existence of tardigrades. And not in a good way.

Margotshypotheticaldog · 23/06/2021 22:37

Those stork pics! 😱
Definitely not the kind of creature you'd want dropping your baby off!

LunaTheTuna · 23/06/2021 22:39

I give you the coconut crab....

@ConnectedToSandsview my friend got his finger bitten off by a moray eel while fishing. 😳

Eyjafjallajokulldottir · 23/06/2021 22:41

Why are coconut crabs always found on the side of bins? Don't they know they're supposed to be in the sea?

Black Rain Frog. Like an avocado with a face.
But it looks so sad 😢
Bortles · 23/06/2021 22:46

Spider crabs and coconut crabs. Like the worst spidet in the world. Just because theyre extra crispy and therefore crabs doesnt make them any less spider for me! Grin

RubyGoat · 23/06/2021 22:47

For anyone who doesn’t like ostriches… a little gift for you. Grin

Bortles · 23/06/2021 22:48

Agree about hyenas. They dont look like they could possibly be nice in any circumstance...and agree about eels. The idea of giant squid isnt very pleasant.

Blobfish. Bluergh!!!
This just seems to prove evolution in one picture- it looks like a man who lives down my road 🤣
FrankiesKnuckle · 23/06/2021 22:53

@DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat That hatchetfish looks like Dory at the end of a rave 😂

I don't like pelicans. Odd things with beaks that sound like cupboards doors opening.

LunaNorth · 23/06/2021 22:58

This thread has me like this GrinEnvyShockConfused

LunaNorth · 23/06/2021 22:59

The little black rain frog’s face 🥺

@DentonsFringeArnottsWaistcoat

Deep Sea Hatchetfish
Looks like a zombie Dori.
AppleDumplin · 23/06/2021 23:01

I should not have read this thread whilst in bed- going to have nightmares for sure 😬

Mandrills and Baboons - terrifying!

Anything that I can't see eg I won't swim in the sea or any open wild water because I can't see what's underneath me.

Also crows.

The cutest avocado ever 🥺

I love crows. Hate ostriches and anything 'deep sea' related!

AnneShirleysNewDress · 23/06/2021 23:16

I'm with @GuyFawkesDay. They are horrifying.

Dontate · 23/06/2021 23:25

Some of these are truly horrific. I wish I could unsee the wolf spider. But @Pricklypear12’S frilled shark looks lovely! Smiley and friendly!
