Did somebody already say "humans" ? Mosquitoes don't stand close.

In California the rangers tell us that a brown/black bear won't necessarily attack a human unless he's starving or ill. However, he does want to be acknowledged as the dominant party in the encounter. According to these authorities, staring him in the eyes is the worst possible thing you can do. They recommend dropping to the ground and looking pathetic. After a couple of minutes of showing off he'll probably just leave you there.If you faced the bear . . . . Look at his eyes as long as you can, the bear may turn away at the last moment.
Australia was the last continent to be occupied by European invaders, and it's still not heavily populated. They just haven't gotten around to wiping out all the native fauna the way they have in the Americas. However, they did a great job on the thylacine (the "marsupial wolf"). There hasn't been a verified sighting in about seventy years.I wonder why so many of the most venomous creatures live in Aussieland?
It's not that unusual for a female mammal to be impregnated by more than one male. Dogs have one uterus but it's divided into two "horns" to fit in the available space, and each side can typically carry four fetuses. A female in heat will resolutely mate with every male in the vicinity. That way they will all assume that at least one of the puppies is theirs and they will protect them from predators--and from the other females who sometimes kill each other's litter.They also have two separate uteri, so they can get impregnated by two different males at around the same time. Or, at least, it seems reasonable to assume that.

most dangerous are definitely humans... one nuclear bomb and bye bye everything
but the stone fish is dead scary..
Not that dangerous relatively speaking but just look at it!
1. it would scrap the bottom, IF it is intelligent enough, but then it could be programmed for just this scenario.
Actually, if there's one animal that is dangerous because it actively hunts humans at times it's this one:
Unlike any of the other animals such as sharks or piranhas. And the reason being is that we grew up with them (evolutionarily speaking)
the problem here is that all creatures recognize or are very conscious of their own species facial features.
the lion has a frown. if lions had smiles they would be much more easy going. that frown is permanent though. it is a shame for them, i believe. how do they look at eachother and see this sadness? it must effect them psychologically.
The Flea
Responsible for "The Black death" -- killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population. Considered one of the worst pandemics in human history.
