Yes, I do realize that. I don't know if I'm allergic however, considering I've only ever been bitten by a horse fly (they don't inject venom, and they don't sting, they just leave their teeth in you), that is the reason I would never want to meet one.RhombusHatesYou said:
I do admit that if I was in the city they wouldn't be a problem, however if by some stroke of bad luck I wound up in the forest, and was severely allergic, then I would die. My reason for not wanting to meet one is that if I am indeed allergic (I have no other allergies, so it might be very possible), then having one sting me would proove fatal if I was stuck in a forest a good distance away from help.
However, after doing more research I have learned of far more deadly insects, and now I do not fear the Bull Ant as much (thanks to you mostly)
I do have another candidate for an animal/insect that I would not like to meet. The Giant Asian Hornet, mainly because it can grow to around 3 inches in length, and any bug bigger then half an inch scares the crap out of me. Yea... these things scare me (I'm an obvious Entomophobe)
Another one is a Polar bear, which are the only bears in the world that will actually kill humans as prey (other bears don't eat humans, they only kill them to defend their territory, or to take their food, and even then they avoid humans if they can). I trust I don't need a picture for this one, because everyone should be able to imagine a bear with white fur.
Also thanks for lifting my fear of Bull Ants (even if only slightly), I might one day visit Australia, because I hear it's incredibly beautiful (my sister visited, and said she loved it).
Marine Isopods,
They aren't dangerous unless you're a dead body on the ocean floor, but still, just look at it.

The Great White Shark, hands down . . . I don't like open waters to begin with, but coming face-to-snout with one of those outside of a cage would probably kill me just from the fear factor.
One of those jellyfish that can kill you in under 3 minutes with there poison! Id hate to be stuck with them even though they just float around an crap i wouldnt like to accidently run into one.
That or a lion that would maul me to death.

Word of warning, though... What an Aussie considers dangerous and what a sane person considers dangerous often prove to be quite different. So if some queensland redneck ends up shoving your head in a croc's mouth and going "HEy, I think he likes you", you've only yourself and possibly bundaberg rum to blame.Vilcus said:
I would never like to meet a clown in a circus.
Ha.
Now that I'm done being a jackass...
Three places:
Ocean: Great White Shark. Imagine being above them when they decide to do that attack where they jump clear out of the water with their prey in their mouth. No thank you.
River: A notable river fish being the one that can burrow its way into your urethra and stick spikes into your bladder.
On land: Bear.

Random fact: Did you know that more people are killed each year by vending machines then by sharks? (I only add that because of the first post)
As for me...any sort of giant snake.
