Snakes and spiders. And All reptiles, for that matter. I agree, I would like to also say sharks. They are important to the ocean, and Jaws gave them a bad rep.
Animals that get an undeserved bad reputation.

No they're not. Really. Pick up a grass snake or garter snake or python some time, or some skink or anole or native lizard. I'd choose someone's pet that's used to it if possible, because wild ones get scared and *****d off by that sort of thing. They're not slimy. Amphibians tend to be slimy, but reptiles feel more like plastic.PayJ567 said:

"No man, Hippos"
"What? you're kidding, right?"
"See those hippos over there? Why don't you go say hello"
Steve Irwin stated that crossing a river filled with Hippos was one of the most Frightening moments in his career. The man wasn't afriad of Crocs or King Cobras, but was afraid of Hippos.
Cockroaches, they can survive a nuclear holocaust and live for a week without a head. I reckon thats pretty cool but everyone hates them though.
This scientist didn't mind so much once he got used to the idea.Margrave Rinstock said:
Their reputation as human-hunting psychotic human-hunting nutters that hunt humans is undeserved. They swim past humans quite a lot. Even Jaws showed the shark ignoring swimmers and hitting the kid on the inflatable that was acting like an injured and weakened animal. There's a picture out there somewhere of a diver swimming alongside a big female great white that just ignored him, and there's a chap tagging them without a cage [http://www.oceanleadership.org/2002/tagging-the-great-white-sharkand-a-few-of-his-friends/] in National Geographic.
You aren't the only one. But I love cats and dogs. Cats grow on you. They are self-maintaining. Very content on sleeping most of the time, and bugging you when they want attention, or food.deadman91 said:
Bees are an animal.
Well, they're not plants, fungi, bacteria, amoebae or rocks, are they?
No, really, they're insects, which are animals.
Rats are awesome, almost scarily so. An adult rat can do a six-foot standing jump, swim for 72 hours and squeeze through tiny spaces. They take care of their young. Given the opportunity they keep themselves clean. They won't eat new food until they meet a healthy rat that's been eating it. If they find a dead rat with no obvious injuries they sniff around to see what the last thing it ate was and then avoid that. They can be trained to sniff out landmines. They also have more sense than to eat a Pot Noodle. You have to admire rats. They even s___ in the corners, unlike pigeons, which carry five times as many diseases and s___ everywhere.

Those other insects the spiders feast on are not bad creatures either. In fact they are pretty essential parts of the food chain, particularly mosquitoes.Shoqiyqa said:
