2008-04-11 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: I saw an exhibit at a zoo once, it was in a building, behind a curtain. Above the curtain was a plaque that said "Most dangerous animal on earth" behind the curtain was a mirror.

2008-04-11 [Tickle Me Emo]: BAHAHA! That is so funny, but not... >.<

2008-04-11 [Trist]: thats so perfect and so true.

2008-04-11 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: I always ask the kids at the zoo where I work what they think the most dangerous animal on earth is. I get very typical answers. Tigers. Sharks. etc. Though I did have (honest to god) one kid tell me Prairie Dogs, are indeed the most dangerous animal on earth (more dangerous than a great white shark, which could very well be true... I despise rodents.) they are all very surprised when I try to hint to them that I'm surrounded by this very dangerous animal. Then the guesses become: "Squirrel?" "Fire Ants?"

2008-04-12 [Tickle Me Emo]: I imagine that the answer could vary depending on your definition of "danger."

2008-04-12 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: true. If I was allergic to bees, that would certainly be a logical answer.

2008-04-17 [Dark Side of the Moon]: Hi all! Not to hijack the conversation or anything, but I've been watching this wiki for a while now and decided to make a tiny contribution to it if I may. http://www.elasmodiver.com/sharkive%20index.htm#Shark%20Families and http://www.shark-pictures.com/ have lots of photos of lovely sharks if anyone would like to see them. 

Now, back on subject: in my opinion the common domestic cat is the world's most dangerous and deadliest animal. Why? Most animals hunt and kill out of necessity in order to eat. Domestic cats kill for the fun of it. Anything they can catch they usually destroy and oftentimes just leave it after its dead without taking any bites from it. Cat = deadly

2008-04-17 [Trist]: human behaviour rubbing off on our pets.

2008-04-17 [Tickle Me Emo]: Domestic cats are truly vile, and I don't think it's due to their owners' behavior. I mean, dogs aren't evil. Just cats.

2008-04-18 [Trist]: can i just say, lets all not call any kind of animal 'evil'? remember what page you are on.

2008-04-18 [Tickle Me Emo]: But they're cats T.T
Besides, domestic cats will hardly find themselves in need of protection any time soon.

2008-04-18 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: no, they reproduce faster than even they can keep up with. poor feral mongrels. I love cats. I have to laugh though, every time i take my python anywhere, and people ask me if it's dangerous. They are always surprised when I tell them their dog is more dangerous than my python. (1- it can carry more zoonotic diseases than my snake, 2- it's bite has far more capability to inflict injury 3- it's much easier to manhandle if it does get pissy) not to mention they eat less. a lot less.

2008-04-18 [Tickle Me Emo]: It always makes me laugh when in the videos they feel the need to point out that snakes aren't slimy because they aren't amphibians. But snakes are almost so smooth that they feel like they do have some sort of mucus coating...

I'm allergic to cats. I think that's a good enough reason to dislike them. Allergies, combined with a personality that seems to be shared by most gives an even greater reason. But there are sweet cats, of course. But I find myself making an exception for the sweet cats, unlike dogs, where I make exceptions for the mean ones.

2008-04-18 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: snakes are not at all slimy, though depending on the snake, they are indeed very smooth and plasticky. some have very rough, or keeled, scales, like the arafura file snake, named for the texture of it's skin.

2008-04-18 [Tickle Me Emo]: Yeah, I guess "plasticky" is the sort of word I was looking for. Not that goopy sort of slimy, but the slick feeling.
It's hard for a non-snake-owner like me to describe stuff like that o.0

2008-04-18 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: there is a simple solution to that. get a snake ;)

2008-04-18 [Byne]: Snakes are love. But sharks are teh pwn. XD

Sharks have very sandpapery skin. Certain sharks, if you rub your hand along them the wrong way fast enough, it'll cut you. o:

2008-04-18 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: yeah, I've felt some, in petting pools. plus snakes are much easier to keep. though I'd love to have a big saltwater tank for sharks someday.... I don't think I'll ever be that rich.

2008-04-18 [Byne]: -Nods.- I'll have to make myself happy by diving with them. e_____e

2008-04-19 [The Monochrome Rainbow]: i Should find out where near here I can do that... I live in Florida, for goodness sake.

2008-04-19 [Byne]: ....o_____________o I live in Ontario, several hundred miles form any ocean. ;-;
I did my shark div ein the Bahamas though. Stuart's Cove. Yup, yup. It was amazing. :3
