Most dangerous creatures you ever saw. In a zoo doesn't count. has to be wild.

I'm half tempted to make a terrible joke about "a woman storming out of a court house after losing a custody case" but that wouldn't count- SO!
hmm...
I've seen Grey Foxes quite often just a few miles north of here (GREY FOX!)
see deer quite often...
yeah I can't really think of anything else... oh! I saw myself!
(after playing airsoft, well I'd be a VERY deadly creature if that sniper rifle was real)
Seen it... well saw a few... while unloading lumberOutcastBOS said:
Seen it... roughly 3 maybe 4 times, most were while camping against my willAthol said:
Very interesting, I've only seen- I don't even know their proper term, just "normal" jellyfish, there were about 200-300 washed up on the beach onceSomeLameStuff said:

Anyone who lives in Australia will probably win this (where everything is 40123 times more poisonous).
I was riding my bike down the street one day and the street curved up and around this hill. So I was taking the curve when I saw this dog right on the inside of the road (maybe a foot off the road). As I was getting closer I was like wait, that dog looks pretty feral. Oh maybe its a coyote...wait that's too big to be a coyote...oh shit no that's a fucking wolf! I'm so glad he didn't chase me haha.
That or a jellyfish that floated right underneath the kayak I was in, I couldn't tell you what kind of jellyfish it was tho so it might not have been that dangerous.
Eh now that I think about it I've seen a few grizzlies in the wild, those are probably the most dangerous. But I wasn't as close as that god damn wolf.

I've not had any close encounters with anything more dangerous than a water moccasin. And that cotton mouth was actually snapping for my legs, so that would've sucked. Second most dangerous was when I was hiking through a small ravine, and I had crouched down to look at a fossil (I live in Texas. Yes, there are places where you can just pick up fossilized shells and what have you), when I looked up, there was ANOTHER water moccasin level with my eyes about eight inches away from me. I just backed away VEEEEEERY slowly, and didn't have an issue.
Beyond that? Not really. Typical dogs and cats, and the occasional rat snake in suburbia that I had to rescue my neighbors from (and vice versa), but that's pretty much it.

A German Shepard that was cooped up inside a small house too long. I love dogs but that one scared the shit out of me, considering it tried to kill me every time it smelt me.
Dangerous is subjective. To someone who was immune to venom/poison, ur list is a petting zoo, but to someone who is 3 feet tall, that python is one of the most dangerous things on earth.
Those are horribly over-blown examples, but the concept remains.
That said, the most dangerous animal I've been around is probably a half-crazy Great Pyrenees that will bite with no reason. I've also seen some bears, a moose, that's about it.

Not sure if this was covered in other posts, too lazy to read 6 pages, but it isn't just car wrecks that make them dangerous. People have been gored by deer.Luke5515 said:

Don't pet the deer.
OT
Seems to me that Aussies would have an advantage in this thread.
A faun, probably. All the dog I've had unpleasant encounters with were domesticated, and I don't think we have any remotely dangerous spiders in Belgium.
Big ones, though.
Nasty ones.
Brrr.

I have had two really dangerous encounters with snakes many years ago. I think it was brown snake fully grown. It was taking a nap on my verandah I opened my door it wake up got angry. Had to kill it with a broom. The other time I came around a rock and the snake hissed and went into a hole.
Seen a few snakes really
Seen to many types of spiders to count
Seen the odd shark (never fully grown though)
box jellyfishes
one salt water crocodile
kangaroos

Does a fox count? (I don't think they are dangerous.) During my second year of Uni the place where I was living in had a reputation for having wild foxes on the field behind it. One time when I return back to my room there was a fox sunbathing in front of the door (it was a hot day). I spend several minutes thinking what to do (I kept thinking it will bite my nuts if I step closer) so I decided to step closers anyway. The fox simply move out of the way so I can get in. After that event I never saw the fox again.
I've stomped on some Black Widow spiders out in the yard at my parents house.
An 8-10 foot shark, swimming about 15 feet below me while I'm snorkeling in the Florida Keys, I was about 12 years old at the time.

Uhm, dogs I suppose. Wait, a bull might be considered dangerous. That's about it. Not many dangerous creatures where I come from (luckily).
