Polar bears scare the SHIT out of me.
I love sea turtles. I did a lot of snorkeling when I lived in hawaii, and they were always the coolest things in the ocean.
... and delicious, too!
I think my next dogs will be Labradoodles. They seem like just about the perfect dog, and they're so cute!

I want a dog sooooooooo bad.
I shave my dog down every summer. It takes forever, so a couple of days ago I started with her legs. Now she has these skinny little legs sticking out under this mound of fur. She looks like a sheep in wolf's clothing.

I'm puppy-sitting my roommate's 1-year old Rott/Lab Mix. She's 80 pounds, but she thinks she's 20. But it's pretty adorable when she hops onto my bed and sprawls out on top of me.
Polar bears are the only known animal that will actually HUNT people. Not just attack them if they come across your path, but actually seek you out. They can drag 1000 lb seals right up through the holes in the ice. Yeah, they are scary.
Honestly, Labradoodles are half poodle, half lab and retain absolutely nothing in the way of good qualities. They would make great family pets, but for hunting and stuff, they are worthless. Smaller diameter eyes, less common sense, noticably less alert and they don't look to the sky constantly like a bird dog does. I still love mine.

I had a lab for years and she was a great hunting dog...well not so much...she was obese and she would follow the tractor when I'd bush hog the field and she would catch the rabbits, rats, and mice that would try to run away from me....it would just be a massacre in the field by the time I was done.

German Shepherd..I had one when i was a kid and it was such a nice dog. Hopefully i'll be getting one in the near future.

They won't go out of their way to take on a person unless they are starving or feel threatened....A polar bear will just do it because its a frickin polar bear and its always hungry...there is not filling that up.
Honestly though if a cougar(not the older lady kind) is going to attack a person it will generally be a child...easier target.
With that said though Tigers and Lions will activily hunt people. Tigers more than lions but that has more to do with a lion is a very lazy animal. A male lion will sleep up to 18 hours out of the day and that is why the females do the hunting in the wild. Generally if a male does not become the head of the pride it is forced to either hunt on its own or with other males that also failed and they generally don't make it very long. That is why in the wild a lion will live for about 7 years but in captivity they can make it 16-20 years pretty easy.
But there are a lot of tiger attacks still in India every year. Tigers have a white spot on the back of either ear. It is thought it is a natural defense because a tiger will attack from behind so if another tiger walks up on it the other tiger won't know if its looking at it or away from the other tiger. Some people began wearing a mask on their head backwards to achieve the same effect and tiger attacks actually did drop....of course this was years ago. I don't know what the current situation is in India in terms of how they deal with keeping tigers at bay....but they still have tiger attacks.
