Hippo
Aw, look at the cute little hippo, it's so ungainly and friendly. Nope, these guys are actually quite vicious and will not only feast on each other, but they have been known to attack humans too. Don't let their bulk fool you, they can move fast!

Mosquitos
Wait, are we supposed to be afraid of a little mosquito? What? You say they kill millions of people every year? Where did we put the Off...

It's looks aren't the only thing that's scary, this spider packs enough venom to kill several people.

Botfly
The common botfly is a nuisance for both animals and humans. These lovely creatures lay their eggs underneath your skin, where they get all nice and warm before hatching and crawling out!

Badgers
These critters have earned their reputation as one of the most vicious animals to meet if they are cornered. Look at those fangs!

Crows
It's just a bird right? Well, not so much. Crows are incredibly intelligent, have their own language, are well organized and instead of flocks, they call a group of crows a murder. Do you need any more evidence? We are convinced they are ready to take over at any time.
