The list sucks. And nr. 9 is not a dragonfly, it’s a damselfly.

Well yes, if you are a small insect, I suppose it would be dangerous.

If you read the description, it says you don’t want to meet these creatures because they are frightening looking, not dangerous. You say you want to read more about these creatures when you can’t even read the headline of the slide show.

I have camel spiders in my house. They’re nocturnal, and I think they live under my clothes dryer. They are extra super ugly, and next to impossible to kill, but harmless. Or so I hear. I don’t trust ‘em.

The jumping spider is actually pretty dangerous. It’s a predatory spider (ie. one that doesn’t use a web to catch its prey) which is why it jumps. It’s got the highest blood pressure of any living species, enabling it to force blood through its legs that fast as to jump enormous distances. Its legs work using a hydraulic system, and its venom has been evolved to be a one-hit-kill affair, due to its attack style.

It’s an anticoagulant it injects, along with a form of local anesthetic (why you wouldn’t wake up). The bat just laps up the blood until it’s full, and fies off. For something human sized, this is fine as they only weigh a few tens of grammes, and it would be pointless to overinject either of these two chemical’s at the bat’s expense.
Oh, and it detects animals by heat signatures and following carbon dioxide trails from our breathing. And it can hear heartbeat at a close enough range to determine if its ‘prey’ is awake or not.

I’ve received both a Brown Recluse bite and Black Widow, they’re native to my area, and neither of them did a lot of damage to me. IF treated you’re fine.

The spicebush swallowtails are adorable! So cute! I would def love to meet one of them! Lol.

Jumping spiders aren’t scary and neither are dragonflies or Mantises. Your list needs to be fixed.
I think the scariest one on there though is the wolf fish, i’ve heard that those things can bite through steel

Does the frilled shark have any eyes?

By: Mo

BAH! Most of these can’t/wont hurt you. They’re too small, and Camel/Sun Spiders have no way to inject their venom into human beings. The Whip Scorpion however, can deliver a nasty punch when threatened, they spray Formic Acid from glands in their abdomen, and use their tail to spray it around…*like a silly sprinkler*

hay kramer the shark and the giant isopod both exist so shut up about your nonsenes.

By: Sarah

It’s completly harmless!!!

By: Sarah

Sarah — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 02:09:55 +0000

Yeah sure it can do that but it’s not like we’re cattle (a.k.a. The vampire bat’s main target.) who probably woulden’t feel a thing. If your continuously bleeding, it seems like a thing you might wake up to. Unless you can sleep through anything, then I say it probably won’t get to that point. Plus, it’s pretty rare for a vampire bat to bite a human.

By: Sarah

Sarah — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 02:03:14 +0000

I know! The jumping spider and praying mantis look nothing like that unless you were to take the time to put them in front of a microscope!

By: Sarah

Sarah — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 01:58:20 +0000

Vampire Bats usally only bite cattle.

By: Sarah

Sarah — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 01:54:34 +0000

I Completly and Totally agree!!!

I think the Eye Eye is kinda cute!

I love the vampire bat and think that it is something that shouldnt be messed with. I can kill a human in there sleep bite biting the victim and there saliva produces a type of blood thinner that make the wound continuosly bleeds, which is all the bat wants.

Most of the sea life you show live at depths that no swimmer could ever reach. The animals you show are scary looking but not really dangerous. In Australia the box jellyfish is what you don’t want to be near and most shark attacks are on surfers or paddle borders who are splashing through the water like a wounded fish. I’ve been bitten a couple of times by a white tailed spider and in some cases this can be deadly. Like most things this depends on your own immune system.

Hahaha! I completely agree with you, as I noticed the exact same thing with these comments.

They all look a little bit scary, but none of these little cuties is ever going to hunt you down and eat you. Come on down under to Oz. We’ve got scarier things in the back yard.

there is a fish in the congo rivers called “demon fish” would think that a 5ft huge piranah would best describe it and would commend the list of 20 most scary creatures. please let me know what you think.

The caterpillar and the dragonfly are cute. Wish I can have the blobfish to throw on my friends for a prank XD

By: kilrr

the blobfish and the spicebush swallowtail caterpillar is not dangerous. i searched it on wiki.

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.

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…”

The Aye Aye is completely harmless.

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. ^^
