 Everyone has something that terrifies them the most, and for many, nature's nightmares are often a part of the equation. Whether a particular animal is intentionally trying to scare us or not, there are plenty of creatures that can make you startle, squirm and squeal. From great beasts on land to hellish monsters of the sea, these are the top 10 horrors of the animal world.
10. WOLF
There are plenty of people afraid of the big bad wolf, and from all exterior appearances, who could blame them? A wolf's howl is enough to spark fear in even the most rational person. They're also twice as fast as an Olympic sprinter and can bring down predators that weigh five times as much as a human! Despite all these scary stats, the wolf threat factor is more or less one big fairy tale. There's never been a documented case of a wild wolf killing a person — in fact, they tend to be more scared of us than we are of them. Still, I wouldn't encourage testing that theory anytime soon.
