Which creepy crawly or dangerous wild animal would leave you shaking in your shoes if you encountered one? When I lived in the city, my neighbor's 6ft 2ins tall husband was scared of lizards. The only explanation I can think of for his fear is that maybe there was a traumatic, lizard experience in his childhood - an experience which still lives in his memory. I fear tarantulas - although I have only seen them in books or movies - and I would not like to ever look into the eyes of a tiger- not even in the relative safety of a zoo . Which wild animal scares you the most?

@Kandae11 I have had a tarantula crawl on me before haha so they don't bother me. They are very gentle, until you tick them off.

I think it was in the James Bond movie "Dr No" where Sean Connery woke up in the middle of the night to find a tarantula crawling on his bare skin.

There is a Tiger at a local zoo. It was funny - I was there at feeding time once and the tiger was meowing for his keeper, just like a big cat. I personally freak out over bats. Nooooo thank you.

When I think of bats I think of a horror movie.

@Tampa_girl7 My encounters with them took place during my early childhood when my parents , my siblings and I lived on a remote island. None of us were ever bitten though.

Snakes @Kandae11 . My Dad thought it was funny to put a Boa Constrictor in my bed when I was 11 years old. How would you like to wake up with that curled up next to you? Now the Tiger? I would love to cuddle up with that.

You aren't serious about your dad - or was it a fake snake.? Tigers , especially the Bengali tiger doesn't kill you before eating like the lion does. - now would you still like to cuddle up with one?.

@Kandae11 Dad really did it and it was real. My Mom use to take snakes and put them around her neck and let them crawl around on her. Ewwwww!!!! My Mom went to a game reserve in Iowa and there was a Bengal there; pictures of her were taken with her arms around him.

I hate spiders too. One time there was a spider in the tool box, I had some one else deal with it and killed the spider.

I think they would love tool boxes for a hiding place.

@Kandae11 , I can't stand spiders, no matter how small. I don't like moths flying around me, bees, wasps also get me in a panic and snakes freak me out.

I wouldn't want to go near any wild animal not in a wild setting at least. Seeing them in the zoo is close enough for me. I don't fear any the most, I fear them all equally.

I'm not sure, maybe a tiger, I've seen them in zoos but in the wild, that would be a different story.

I dated someone once that had a tarantula and he put it on a hot heater and fried it. The poor thing. Did not bother me when it was inside its place but to fry it is terrible.
