Reading this makes me proud to be aussie
I got chased by a saltwater crocodile once, made me hide in a tree for a few hours. that wasnt very nice considering we were in a mangrove (a salt water swamp)
besides that
tonnes of venomous sea animals
snakes
sharks but they are pretty cool so long as there in a good mood.
spiders
oh and stingrays. sadly we all know why.

A black widow spider.
I was outside mowing my sister-in-law's lawn and when I went inside to get a drink I saw it hanging there by the doorway. I am extremely arachnophobic (to the point I step on the toes of my shoes before I put them on) so naturally, this scared the crap out of me.
After I got my shit together mentally, I took off my shoes and killed it though. I felt like I had overcome a great obstacle that day lol.

Elk are far more dangerous. Think giant, pissed off deer armed with a coatrack full of spears. I've seen these in the wild, although only at the end of a riflescope. I've also come nearly face-to-face with a bull elk, although this was through a chainlink fence in the staff areas of the zoo. It was literally charging the fence, and chasing me in a bobcat and truck as I drove by it's enclosure. If I wasn't encased in tons of steel each time, I probably would've peed myself.Luke5515 said:
I've also seen a live wild wolf, but again at the end of the riflescope. I deemed a wolf pelt and the time and money it would take to get it tanned wasn't worth the deer meat I was out there for.
P.S. If you're from Australia, it shouldnt count. EVERYTHING down there is lethal.
So many damn snakes, including a brown snake in a washing machine.
Redback spiders, cause it's not Australia if there aren't deadly spiders crawling around.
An Echidna, something with that many spikes can't be trusted.
Kangaroos, much more deadly than you would think.
There's probably been other things too.

Oh I forgot....female dairy cow with calves, temperament of a legendary deathclaw :<. Walk away very slowly and hope they don't A. See you....yeah pretty much just A.
Multiple Drop Bears.
From a distance, luckily.
Seriously though, any number of snakes / spiders and a stonefish.
I live in Australia. If you don't see at least 1 deadly creature a day, you're living in a air-tight, 20 story high room with advanced pesticide systems and no windows.

I've had a funnel-web chase me when I was a kid on a trip to Queensland. Needless to say, I hate spiders now.
I've come across mooses once in a while and a few foxes. Not the most dangerous animals...
The ones that scared me the most are common wasps though. We get invaded by them every year and they always seem to fly around your face. One time it was so bad people fled for cover in nearby stores!

Most dangerous creature I saw in the wild? I saw a bird of prey once, not sure what species though, but most likely it was a sparrowhawk. It swooped down into our back garden with a pigeon/dove in it's claws. My mother and little sister were completely spazzing out and trying to save the pigeon. My sister ran out to try and chase it away. She succeeded, but it took the pigeon with it. It seems Mother Nature, if it was a sentient entity, has a sense of black humor.
I've seen some alligators in front of a dining hall. Weren't really dangerous, though, since they seemed to be mostly sunbathing.
Also, there was a copperhead in the middle of the road when I was walking. My mom responded by getting the car and driving over it.

Mankind. (ooh poignant and philisophical answer!)
Though in the spirit of the op i'll continue.
Box Jellyfish, bluebottles, red back spiders, funnel web spiders, great white shark. I remember one time walking home from school and seeing a red bellied black snake about 2 meters in front of me. Scared the crap out me, i immediatly edged to the other side of the street.
Seen a fair few scorpions in egypt too, not sure what kind exactly.
Don't ya love living in Australia?

I never saw anything that dangerous. I've had my fair share of spiders but not the 10 meter long scary pieces of shit some people here have described. They still scared the living shit out of me. Seriously, fuck insects.
I encountered a wild bee hive in the countryside when I was little once. They swarmed the car with me in it. Closed all the windows and stood there until my grandfather managed to catch it. I can't believe how fearless he is of those little shits. I mean, he had like 5 bee hives and he'd just go there with no manner of protection and gave two shits about what stung him. Most of the times, nothing did.

I've got a short list...
Black widow nest outside my window, Brown Recluse nest in the same fucking house, Emperor Scorpion (Yes, wild), Nest of Killer Bees (not fun at all.)
There are more, but I'm too dazed to remember or care about them at the moment.
OH! Also, the most dangerous creature to ever set foot on this planet... EVER! = My mother before she's has three cups of coffee in the morning.
