agreed. big bears in the woods are at least big bears in the woods. cougars are sadistic bastards that view you like a mouse they are playing with.

i once read that a mtn lion will generally kill you in one of two fashions. if the pounce on you and get you on your back, they will eat your face while scratching out your intestines with their hind legs. if they pounce and get you on you stomach, they will pull your spine out.

legend, myth or not, that doesn't sound fun.

Gotta be a myth. The jaguar is the only big cat that doesn't kill its prey by crushing its wind-pipe. The jaguar bites through the skull of its prey and punctures the brain with its canines.

Thank you discovery channel.

These fuckers- I am surrounded by them:

I am scared shitless by bees. Also, wasps, hornets, yellowjackets etc. I remember playint t-ball when I was five or six years old, and a bummble bee was flying around me in the outfield and I flipped. I ran around like an idiot for until the coach stopped the game and came out to chase away the bee. If that were to happen today I'd do the same damn thing, they scare the shit out of me.

[lax]

The other would be sharks. When you're sitting on a surfboard and see a fin that's about the scariest thing I've ever had happen.

i was kayaking around, jsut dicking around, and i got all adventurous, i went like 500 yards out of the harbos intot he open water.

WHAT WAS THAT

i snipe a fin out of the corner of my eye 20 feet away

no way

there it is again wayyyyy to close to me

FUCK

i slowly paddle in so as to not attract it but also to GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE QUICK



turns out it was a dolphin


i cannot imagine my fear level were i in the fukign water (surfboard) and were it actually a shark, although i thought it was a shark


elamborate onyour story dude

I really don't have a problem with bears, I just hate them stealing my food. Spiders just seem too small to be anything other than afraid of me. Cockroaches, fun to play with (as a kid, I thought they were smart).

This may sound stupid but.......bulls. As in steers. As in 1200 pounds of unpredictable fuck-you-up. They're huge, they're fast, they're mean, they ain't afraid of shit, and they like to protect cows by trying to kill anything that comes close. I don't even stand close to the fence that holds them in.

Rattle Snakes

That split second between hearing the rattle and seeing where the snake is = scary as fuk.

[snowsprite]

Holy crap Warthog, if I saw one of those crawling anywhere near me I'd go into an unstoppable mindless killing spree, and God help any living creature within my perimeter.

It's a centipede however you spell it. I live in the basement downstairs and a few nights ago I saw one of those fuckers run across my ceiling. I proceeded to scream like a little girl and run upstairs to get the vaccum. They are so disgusting that I just sucked him up with the wand attachment, I didn't even want to get him with a kleenex.

[Angry Whelk]

You crackers best be fearing the Whelk! If you do not show your respect for the fearsome Whelk i will go bukkake on you notions of philial piety!

[Redskea]

Funnel web spiders. Poisonous spiders in general. Especially spiders that hide in your sunvisor and drop out when you're driving, spiders thet hide in your mail box and climb out onto your lap when you're driving and spiders that hide in your shoes or sleeping bag. Also scorpions. And poisonous snakes. Infact anything I met while camping at crags in Australia!
Big carnivores and the angry 12 pointer elk that charged me in Jasper scare me too.

[bad_roo]

I'd like to see an angry whelk go mano y mano with a mountain lion. I think the whelk would prevail, drowning the fearsome cat in its gushing love puddle.

[snowsprite]

Hey, careful there Roo...I can also kickbox!

[Mustonen]

crickets.

creepy little bastards. it's running across the carpet, right? so you grab it, and the only real place to grab it w/o squishing the squirmy little shit are the big jumper legs, right? only the legs fall off. they just fall right off. so you're left holding this kicking jumper leg, and the creepy little bastard just crawls away. "oh, i'm fine, i just lost my EFFIN LEG, it's all good." little creepy chirpy fucks.

bees and wasps and hornets, etc don't give me the willies...they just straight up scare the piss out of me.

[EPSkis]

Spiders. Beyond a shadow of a doubt. There's nothing that gives me the friggin' willies more than walking through the woods & walking into a web you didn't see.

Now - Big Cats, you say?
I probably WOULD be a bit frightened by one in the wild, because I've seen perfectly normal HOUSECATS go positively apeshit for no apparent reason. For me, this is reason enough to give them plenty of room.
(Ever been fu(ked up good by a housecat? It hurts & it's demoralizing. Don't let it happen to you.)

Now a BIG cat - they'll only claw you to shreds long enough for you to submit. It'll then clamp it's jaws around your throat until you quit moving.

I don't know which is worse - THAT, or being attacked by an alligator. Just attacks you violently & then drags you down to the bottom until you drown.

I'll take my chances with the cat, I think.

I'm not too big on jellyfish.

Yeah, that about sums up my general reaction to them. I saw an albino one once. I couldn't kill it. I couldn't help but think he might be rare. Still scared the hell out of me though.
Luckily, they pretty much just stay outside. You really only see them when it rains a lot. It has been raining a lot this summer.

[bigsugar]

Went on an ambulance run the other night to a cardiac incident. We get to this guys house.............fucking snakes everywhere, no shit. Apparently the "dangerous" ones are all in aquariums or whatever, but this guy had a Boa or Python or some big fucker crawling around his living room. I fucking HATE snakes. I could barely function, I was sweating.....not the best image of a calm and professional EMT.

snakes = badness.

The mamba. I spent several months in Africa sleeping in tents while on safari.In the morning, I would see snake tracks just outside the tent. The guide said they were nothing to worry about.The local help called them "2 steppers" because thats how far you got before dying after being bitten. Prior to going, I thought the big cats would be what scared me but, after a couple of weeks of lions coming onto camp in the middle of the night it didn't bother me anymore.I would leave the tent flap open but zip the screen closed and they would walk by roaring and growling but never touch the tent. Now jaguars are another story. A member of my party was seriously mauled in her tent on a previous trip.

Running in San Diego, I'd come across rattlesnakes all the time, find fresh cougar tracks in the Laguna Mtns while running alone, and, in the Fall, both in SD and here in Oregon, run face-first into fresh cobwebs. These encounters bothered me not at all. But the nasty, slimy creature that I absolutely try to avoid without fail is the lowly snail.

Snails...hate 'em! Every time it rains or someone waters, or it's a damp evening the bastards come slithering out. You're running along and "crunch, crunch, crunch". Those stupid mollusks never cease to gross me out. Fuk snails for all eternity,l I say. And the French! They eat those stupid things! Yeah, it's fine to saute snails to death, I'm okay with that. But then throw 'em away, don't eat them. Damn...makes Viva want to hurl.

[bad_roo]

stupid mollusks

Viva can't help but invite a smackdown from the Angry Whelk.

[teledave]

Rats, big f'ing rats! I hate them, where I used to work they absolutely infested the back warehouse. About 18 inches long, weighed around 3-5 lbs.; from the carcasses of the ones we killed. When you would open the door and flip on the lights you'd see 6-8 of them scurry away to cover. We tried every pest service known to man and couldn't get rid of them. Makes me shudder just to think about them.

[snowsprite]

I love the passion this thread has evoked...lol! And now everyone's skin is crawling, and we want our mommies (or a big gun).

mrw...I thought I was cool because I slept outside in the woods in CT and saw a 'lil fox run by. I am now humbled!
