      all of them are existing except the Shark and the Giant isopod, i belive both of these have died out and are prehistoric

        They believed the shark to be extinct but it was discovered last year. i remember watching seeing it.

        Actually, Kramer, i saw the Giant Isopod at Riverbanks Zoo And Garden in Columbia, South Carolina June 1st, 2010 on a school field trip.

    I think these two animals should be in that list…
    First up, Scutigeromorpha. It is a speacies of cave-dwelling centipede.
    My second choice is the GOBLIN SHARK. There is no competition in my opinion! These two are DEAD ugly :)

    Nice work on the Behring Wolf Fish

      Dear Lizzie,
      I have no idea who you are but I know these two choices you chose are wonderful. i think i am going to add 2 more. The first is the bloberfish and the second is the wildboar. These animals are totally ugly!!
      Nice work on the animals you chose!

    I disagree about number 15 and 13.
    First of all number 15 was just some toy someone made. :) I’ve seen it before.
    Second of all, a jumping spider is very, very tiny. About the size of my pinky nail. They are very cute and fuzzy, and rarely bite. And, they even model for cameras some time!!! I love those little guys. I was lucky enough to be a landing spot for one! XD

      and actually 15 (the sun spider) is just another name for 18 (the camel spider) which in fact in the picture is actually to attached dead camel spiders/sun spider

      I think the jumping spider looks dangerous.

      • Kramer
        On March 27, 2010 

        Jumping spiders are the least you should fear of them all, i think they are cute, thankfuly no one will accidently encounter half the species on the list, but the aye aye is endangerd beacuse the people of madagascar (its only wild habbitat) belive its a demon and uses its long middle figer to pirce the hearts of people in thier sleep, it is killed on sight

    Sun spider is faked… this is a picture of a handcrafted camel spider it`s just a replica. You can find some pretty nice other replicas including this spider here: http://www.filmflies.com . And by the way, sun spiders and camel spiders are the same. ^^

    I think you should also put down the bird eatint spider.

    How about the Black Widow Spider, the Brown Recluse Spider and the Black Mamba Snake.. yeah -now there’s something to be scared of!

    The Aye Aye is completely harmless.

    While the list itself was mildly interesting, I must admit that it was the comments in response to it that left me more flabbergasted.

    Not only does it sound like you have false commentators posting (some of these generic responses are just plain insulting), but a lot of them seem like they were written by children or uneducated adults. Is that the target audience for this website? Is it actually for children and I’ve stumbled upon it by accident, expecting something more intelligent to be shared?

    Perhaps if the list did something other than show pictures and actually named some facts about the animals, you’d receive better responses but for now you’re stuck with gems like “Hey! I like this photos. i want to share it to all my friends…”

    vampire bats aren’t really dangures and it’s rare for them to bite humens

    this seems like a list of 20 animals, enlarged photos of which you wouldn’t wanna see. many of the animals listed here are endangered and/or completely harmless to humans. so, for the sake of conservation we should be posting facts about them, not myths.

    This should be titled: 20 species you don’t want to mess-up with.
