Animals that get an undeserved bad reputation.

[WolfThomas]

Rats, for all the reasons laid out in Inglourious Basterds.

 

[Hellenion]

Lemmings.

Poor bastards, everyone insists that they throw themselves off cliffs. But it was fabricated by Walt Disney, who got two dozen of them and drove land rovers at them, and then filmed them falling off the cliff for effect.

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.

werent insect and animals a completely different thing.

like plants & rocks

And they say education is getting better?

There are 5 kingdoms of life - Animal, Plant, Bacteria, Fungus and Virus

Animals are split into backboned and non-backboned.

Non-backboned have six groups but the biggest is Arthopods.

Insects are one of 5 groups of ARTHROPODS.

Bees have three body section, three pairs of legs and antenae, so they're insects.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Sharks. They don't actually go out and hunt humans but when they bite it's usually a surfer they think is a seal from below, and over half the time the sharks leave because humans are too crunchy with no meat.

[TheRundownRabbit]

snakes, scorpians, wolves, and uhh.............oh yea, dingos

 

[Fraught]

Cats. Just... cats. During The Dork Ages they lost any reputation they had. When was the last time you saw a positive portrayal of a cat?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you talking of the [small]"icanhazcheezburgr?"[/small] l0lcats?

No. Lolcats are not positive or negative portrayal - they're just stupid. I mean,when was the last time you saw clever and heroic cat in ANY media?

Well, yeah. Mostly when against mice (Tom & Jerry) then cats are always portrayed as the bad guys.

 

[GrinningManiac]

Wolves. Wiping them out in Scotland and the rest of Britain was a wild overreaction to a minor problem. They hardly killed anyone

That, and they're awesome.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Rats. They're awesome (just not as cool as ferrets, obviously, but easier to get hold of).

 

[Lieju]

Spiders, snakes, any venomous creatures.

Also hyenas. They are freaking awesome animals!

 

[Ghost Soldier57]

Foxes and Wolves

Exactly. And I love foxes.

 

[Logic 0]

Panda bear, people think it's cute and cuddly but it's planning something evil for us all.

 

[Serum211]

No amnimal deserve to be called evil (besides humnas of course).And i dont see why they make sharks look evil in movies when its human stupidity that leads to most accidents.

 

[dumblogic511]

Sharks get a bad reputation because they should have one. Wanna know why shark attacks are very rare? Because no one is stupid enough to go near one.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

Spiders

 

[Steelfists]

Sharks were already mentioned, so I'll go with the next best thing: Pigs. People have the general common belief these are dumb animals. Frankly, it seems intelligence made us so arrogant to think our ways work better than those developed by other creatures over their line of evolution.

Hell, ants have managed to work as a massive-scale society.

I can say with some confidence that humans are better than pigs.

 

[atv_chic_18]

Dogs, wild cats, sharks, bears. To name a few. They're not intentionally made to be 'evil' animals technically aren't evil. It's called the will to survive. A shark attacks a human and people blame the shark saying its evil. Its usually a case of misidenity on the sharks part. I mean after all we're flopping around in the ocean, can you really blame it for thinking that we're a dead fish wearing our brightly colored bathing suit?

Great White Sharks ... The Fact Remains You do not want to be anywhere near them without a shark cage.

This scientist didn't mind so much once he got used to the idea.

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.

Yes, Yes, Yes, but the diver is a Professional who understands Sharks Intimately.

The Point is, sharks could interpret pretty much anything a swimmer does as "acting like a weakened, injured animal."

Evan though shark attacks are not exactly common, the likelyhood is far more than infinitesimal.
