Uhhmmmm ... snow, sweetie?

:D No, unfortunatly not, at least not at the moment. South of Germany, I think the most dangerous animal we have here is the tick. The disturbing ones also seem to be well hidden. Well, except those LeatherMan mentioned (I had to think of a "documentary" I once watched about cutting your tongue in two so it looks like that of a snake... that looked really disturbing).

Those bushbabies are adorable.

I know we've discussed our pets before in the past, people have shown pictures of their snakes, dogs, cats of course. Has anyone ever had a really exotic pet before? If so, what was it? I've had a tarantula, thats as far as I go. Fascinating spider, fun to watch.

Not extremely exotic, but I have a Chinchilla named Joey and a Toad named Slippy.

I'm sorry, any list of disturbing animals that does not include the (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracunculiasis) Guinea (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=fw5&q=guinea+worm&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=WtBKSrjpFMqulAeL3Kgn&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=307118561) Worm cannot be considered definitive.

Seriously, just thinking about the GW makes my gorge rise.

I've had the pleasure of watching a few videos of guinea worm removals, the victims were in substantial amounts of pain having them slowly wound out so the worm couldn't snap off and retreat back into the body

Also lol at his descriptions of Australia, but to be fair the funnel web is a nasty customer. Spiders like the redback are really the ones more likely to be lurking in and around pools, but they won't kill you (unless you're a child); just leave you pretty sick for a while.

Yeah, his 'Fuck This Place' Post-It note over a map of Borneo was priceless, as well Shug.

Christ, the Emerald Cockroach Wasp sounds like someone gave Tarantino the script to Pixar's Bug's Life. Fuck.

Never heard of the Goblin Shark and the Deep Sea Frilled Shark until I played Endless Ocean. Freaky fish.

Toothpick fish makes my gills hurt.
