Who knew stingrays could get so large? This would truly freak us out!

We don’t like regular snakes on land, but it turns out we have to worry about them in the waters too?

We have no idea what that is, but if it lives in the water, then we’re never stepping into that body of water again.

This larger than life snake is bigger than anything we’ve seen on land.

Jellyfish are usually small. We can’t even imagine what we would do if we encountered any jellyfish of this size!

We’re not comfortable swimming in any body of water that doesn’t have a bottom we can see. This would truly scare us from swimming in this area!

We’ve seen Jaws. We’ll stay on land for now.

The oceans, rivers, lakes, and all other forms of natural bodies of water are truly beautiful, but in them, there can be animals that are beyond our biggest dreams (or nightmares!). While these photos presented above are truly stunning, we’ll be sticking to pools for now after seeing these images!

    Just like with all the bad press pitties and rotties get, this is just fear mongering. OH NO THE OCEAN IS BIG. AND THERE ARE SHARKS AND WEIRD LOOKING ANIMSLS I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT! SO SCARY! Yes, there are sharks. Most don’t care about you. OH NO A LARGE SHIRMP/OCTOPUS. Again, they don’t care about you. Unless you’re being a jerk and trying to touch/capture them.

    Not to mention, not all of these are photos. The first is clearly a photoshop job (you can tell by the absurdly large, dark octopus in the lower left hand corner) and the one with the “snake.” Considering how wide the amazon is (~6.8 miles), that snake would have to be much larger than what the largest snake is capable of growing to, a mere 12 inches in DIAMETER, so about 6 inches in flat width. The snake in that photo, assuming that the river is a mere 20-30 feet wide, would still place the snake as being even larger than 6 inches wide..

    And finally, what does this have to do with rottweilers?

    Andrew Oakeshott Reading comprehension, you don’t have it. Reread my post “Yes, there are sharks. Most don’t care about you; the ones that do think you look like dinner on that surf board of yours.”

    “OH NO A LARGE SHIRMP/OCTOPUS. Again, they don’t care about you. Unless you’re being a jerk and trying to touch/capture them.”

    I don’t believe there have ever been reports of octopi, large shrimp, or other non-apex predators attacking/biting/etc people who weren’t harassing them first. But if you find one, let me know.

    Humans need to live and let live. We all play a part in this world whether human or animal .we all give the world a balance. See the beauty not fear. Let’s look afterwards​a these wonderful animals.give them the respect each and everyone deserves. let’s learn to look after not hurt or kill.

    And even if it doesn’t (which they generally don’t, it’s largely a myth), sharks actually have very sensitive teeth so it’s their go-to choice for checking out new stuff. Unfortunately, “a little nibble ” could tear your arm off.
