Almost everybody are afraid of snakes for the simple reason that they are harmful and poisonous. I'm afraid of the snakes. They can harm us with their poisons, even little snakes carries poisons that is fatal to humans. Some bigger snakes don't have poisons but they can squeeze their preys with their bodies. Some people can catch snakes easily. Others say that they uses magic spells to do so, I wonder if it is true or not, but it is very amazing to see how these people just grabs snake and just putting those snakes inside a bag. The biggest known snake called the Anaconda are also amazing in size, they can swallow even as big as baby cows. Some people use to pet snakes in their homes.Ive think they've done it by making the snake nonpoisonous or not harmful to them. What ever,I still afraid on snakes like others use to, for they are harmful to us. But even if they are harmful to humans, we should consider their importance in our environment as a part of the food chain system

I am terrified of evangelical Christians. Seriously, though, I do still fear spiders and snakes. I'm not sure why - perhaps I'm just a big girl's blouse - but I did see a huge snake when I was a wee lad, that really shocked me! It has stayed in my memory, though I know that in many ways, it is irrational to fear such critters. Vicious dogs - I hate them. I'd cross the street to avoid them, but usually, I'd cross the street to avoid the owners, too!

I would be scared out of my wits if I ever face something like a tiger or a lion. Or a hippo, if they don't trample you they'll bite you in two. As for animals I'm more likely to meet, I'd be likely to err on the side of caution if I ever walked into a moose with calf. Then of course, there's spiders. Not sure if I would call them animals, more like small, murderous monsters waiting to eat me! :-) However, taking pictures of them is no problem. Not sure why, but with a lens in between, the arachnaphobia goes away.

I am not really scared of animals like snakes, lizards, mice, etc. I would just say I'm cautious. The animal that I fear is a spider. It doesn't matter if it's a granddaddy long legs or black widow. All spiders freak out. The bigger they are the worse I am. If I ever had a turantula in my house, he could have it all to his self. lol

The only animal that may frighten me most is the rat.It is not only fear that I feel when I see a rat but I am also disgusted by them.I am terrified by the idea that something like that may touch me.I recently had a story with a rat crossing my road so I sttarted screaming and running and all the people around laughed and pointed at me but I don't care.
