Gloves Are Coming Off

Although you may hold a strong dislike for cats, it is impossible to ignore the fact that the furry, cushioned skin situated beneath their paws is undeniably adorable. Frequently appearing in a delicate shade of pink, this region serves a functional purpose, aiding cats in their ability to move silently.
It is quite fascinating that the paws of a Sphinx cat have a unique characteristic. At a first glance, we mistakenly identified something as a bat, which was scary. However, we mean no harm and would like to assure you of our peaceful intentions.

Cult of Eels

Opinions on eels are divided among the masses. Some people cannot stand the slippery and slimy texture of eels, as well as their strange body and long antennae. Would you be willing to eat an eel?
After looking at this picture, we can confidently state that we will avoid swimming near areas where eels reside. Despite being considered harmless, the mere thought of swimming next to them is enough to make us feel scared. The resemblance to Green anacondas is uncanny!

A Fishy Proposal

Each couple’s proposal is distinctive. It is because everyone has their own preferences and tastes. Some individuals may prefer lavish flash mobs, while others may opt for a more modest candlelit dinner.
Why not accept a proposal where lobsters are arranged to form the phrase “Said Yes”? Although the smell may not be pleasant, it can still be seen as adorable. Additionally, this type of proposal could be a dream come true for a fisherman.

The Teether

Just when you believed that the natural world couldn’t be more unsettling, let us introduce you to the Sheepshead fish. With their strong teeth, they are able to crush and break down their food, which consists mostly of shelled organisms and mollusks.
It is intriguing to see a fish that has teeth similar to humans, but it also causes some discomfort. However, there is no need to be concerned as Sheepsheads are not dangerous to humans. Despite their terrifying appearance, they are actually harmless.

Portal to Hell

Dogs tend to enjoy feeling the rush of strong winds. Isn’t it delightful when you are driving on the freeway and spot a vehicle with a furry friend popping its head out of the window?
The dog is overjoyed as the wind hits its face with its mouth open. However, taking pictures of Great Danes in this manner is not recommended because their large size results in excess skin near the mouth. Consequently, when something such as a leaf blower hits their mouth, it may feel unbearable for them, like a gateway to hell has been opened.

Blood Sucking Madness

Mosquitoes are tiny insects that consume blood and prey on animals, often causing great annoyance to individuals. This can result in a fear of them known as Entomophobia, which we understand and apologize for if you are one who experiences it.
Don’t be concerned, there are no giant mosquitoes dominating the world. The magnified insect in the video is a result of it getting too close to the camera lens. Nevertheless, it would be preferable if we never had to see that bug again.

Four-Legged Chicken

It’s not just humans who can have mutated body parts since other species can also experience it. Although chicks are commonly viewed as adorable babies among animals, this image might change your mind.
Having a birth defect, this baby bird arrived on earth with twice the number of legs it should have had. Its appearance from the front is still cute and fluffy like any other bird, however, holding it in your hands may seem unusual.

Creepy Yet Cute

Perhaps this bird inspired Ava Max’s song “Sweet but Psycho,” given its appearance, particularly its button eyes. However, if we gaze at it for too long, we may start to feel frightened and should turn away.
Therefore, it is completely understandable why people refer to these animals as Ghost Birds because of their demonic eyes and sharp beaks. We would avoid them both during the day and at night.

Two Predators in One

As though a crocodile and a hippopotamus were not frightening individually, a new combination creature came into being. Although we may find the liger enjoyable, the sturgeon is not someone we feel comfortable with.
Sturgeons have a body that resembles a crocodile with spines, along with a wide-head like that of a hippopotamus. Their length can reach up to six feet and they are commonly hunted as freshwater fish. Although sturgeons might appear intimidating, it’s important to note that they do not hunt humans.

Check This Mouth

We have discovered one of the strangest fish that has ever existed from the depths of the internet. This fish possesses lips that resemble those of the Kardashians, and it also has an unusual set of teeth.
They are named Squaliform sharks and have a set of blade-like teeth on either both jaws or on just the lower jaw. Enthusiastic Redditors, please refrain from treating this fish as a human. It will bite you!

Supermodel of Dogs

It’s funny how often celebrities have been found to resemble animals. The case is also applicable the other way around, like this dog that looks way too much like a human for its own good.
Being the owner of a very shiny coat and beautiful blue eyes, its features could give supermodels a run for their money. Just look at this piercing gaze! We bet all the female dogs would be swooning over him.

Counting Sheep at Night

When sleep is elusive, we often consider counting sheep in our heads. This method, although childish, has proven to be effective for many. However, we believe that after seeing this picture, the opposite effect could occur.
What we mean is that the sheep look so creepy here that seeing them before bedtime could actually keep us up all night. Are we acting like big babies or are you also freaked out by this?

Mr. Slenderman

Needless to say, the Slenderman caused some of us to have pretty scary nightmares as a kid. If you thought the skinny legend wasn’t enough, here’s his canine companion.
Greyhounds are known as the cheetahs of the dog world for their incredible speed and energy. While more than happy to be your lounging buddy, they are also capable of running at 72 mph. No wonder they have such long and lean legs!

Giant Catfish Turned Dinosaur

Giant catfishes, despite their size and tainted reputation, are not capable of eating humans. We thought we’d start with that piece of information so that you would know not to feel threatened.
Though, this one found in a German lake was termed a “dinosaur” for its behemoth build. Also, did you know that these giant fish can grow up to be the size of a grizzly bear? Again, don’t be scared. They have the heart of a teddy bear.

Stairway to Heaven

Horses sleep standing up. Dolphins like to keep an eye open to catch some shuteye. Yet, sperm whales may be one of the oddest sleepers in the animal kingdom. These gentle giants like sleeping in groups near the surface of the water.
Here’s the catch: they sleep in vertical positions, which may make you think they are deceased and simply floating mid-water. Scientists have found that sperm whales are amongst the least sleep-dependent animals, only sleeping for 10 to 15 minutes at a time.

Don’t Shed the Fur

You thought bears were scary within all their furry glory? Wait until you see a furless one and it doesn’t leave your mind for three months straight. For many, a bear is nothing more than a missed opportunity at petting a fuzzy and alive stuffed animal.
Dolores the bear and a bunch of other female bears were suddenly affected by hair loss at a German zoo. Experts believed that it may have been caused by a genetic disorder, but the animals didn’t seem to be suffering from any other diseases.

The Demented Guard

It’s beyond us why people don’t like cats. They’re moody and fabulous all at once. Though, this photo might be a good indication as to why some people are so opposed to felines.
Imagine watching a scary movie on TV late at night and then coming across those scary eyes as you turn to grab the remote. We’d be spooked for months after. We might even need a permanent cuddle buddy to get through the night.

Mind Numbingly Terrifying

Many of us loved sock puppets growing up. These low-maintenance toys could entertain kids for hours. But beware! This is one sock puppet you do not want to cross paths with. Sharks have gotten a bad name for their exaggerated natures shown in movies.
Naturally, people jump when they hear this is a Frilled Shark. Looking like a cross between an eel and a shark, Frilled sharks are slow and unorthodox members of the Shark family. They swim below the surface of the water and pose no threat to humans.

Ready to Fight

Gazelles are adorable little jumpers that will steal your heart with their glassy eyes and thick coats. The one exception may be giraffe gazelles, also known as Gerenuks. Much like their name suggests, these antelope species like to stand on their hind legs when searching for greens to munch on.
Their heads are much smaller in comparison to the body. A stark contrast to their overall structure is their taut muscles. When captured from the right angle, a Gerenuk looks ready to fight you in the boxing ring.

Poor Primates

What is your opinion on primates? Some people love them, others can’t stand them due to their eerie resemblance to humans. At times, we forget that we are but evolved forms of these animals.
Though not generally hostile, apes hold the power to rip a human to shreds. While the Orangutan is just as capable of hurting people, they’re known as being gentle giants for the most part. Try not to judge them too harshly!

Not a Cute Piggie

The effects of a nuclear explosion are known to be horrifying. Such seems to be the case for an accident that took place in the Soviet Union that left the world shocked. One of the sad consequences was this mutated piglet.
Honestly, we can’t look at its body for long without getting the chills. Poor little piggie. The radiation melted its body to such an extent that we don’t know where the head ends and the body begins.

Remembering Rosie

A fellow Australian would recognize Rosie the shark anywhere. The very deceased great white was preserved at the Crystal World Exhibition Centre in Devon Meadows, Australia.
Sadly, the park shut down in 2012, and Rosie was left to become a loner zombie fish. With her killer teeth protruding, Rosie is there to give every kid (and even some adults) nightmares. Are you frightened by her? It’s okay to say yes!

House Cats

If you’re a cat lover then this next picture won’t scare you. If anything, you’ll find it cute. But for those who are more dog friendly, cats are known to be creepy animals that stare into your soul.
We’re presuming the person who took this photo is not the biggest cat person. The blunt caption is a dead giveaway. Truth be told, we’re kind of on their side. Those are the green eyes of gremlins!

Footballer on the Loose

The ocean is terrifying, to say the least. Just think of all the creepy, spine-chilling animals living near the bottom of the sea bed. Deprived of light, these aquatic animals have gotten used to the darkness which has deepened their outer color as well.
What you see in the picture is a Football fish, a kind of deep-sea anglerfish found in subtropical and tropical waters of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. This one, in particular, is a predator that washed up on a Californian beach.

Marionette Puppy

We’ve seen too many weird animal puppets on the internet, but this time, we feast our eyes on a live dog that seems to have been turned into a puppet.
The dog was at the dentist when this was taken and it’s almost as if it knew that his teeth needed to be shown. What could have been a cute moment turned into an oddly terrifying one — thanks to the puppy’s lifeless eyes.

An Eerie Sight

Hiking alone in the woods is terrifying enough without having to see skinned animals lying all around. A skinned bear has an uncanny resemblance to what a human would look like once skinned. Unfortunately, this is an example of illegally trapping and poaching animals.
Poachers will skin the animals and leave the body to decompose in the middle of the open field. How sad is that? Come on humanity, let’s do better than this going forward!

Transparent Jelly Frogs

Frogs are known to be cute and harmless creatures but these jelly-like frogs that have been diaphonized are just wild. We can see all their organs inside and we don’t necessary want to.
Although deceased, these frogs have been preserved through a method that gives scientists a view of their organs and bones while maintaining tissue integrity. We for sure don’t want to be scientists after this!

Falcon Chicks

One Redditor named these guys “horrible little muppet men” and we couldn’t agree more. Falcon chicks are rather goofy-looking, so we would probably start to feel uneasy if we had those beady eyes fixated on us.
Also, the creepiness is amplified here as there are so many eyes staring at you all at once. And heaven forbid they peck at us with those sharp beaks. We’d run so fast it would be like our bottoms caught on fire.

Pancake Face

A naive Twitter user thought it would be hilarious if they stuck a pancake on their cat’s head. After all, “throw a cheese at your cat’s face” was a hilarious viral trend a few years ago. Turns out, pancakes aren’t half as funny as cheese.
In fact, they can give you nightmares. The holes cut out to show the eyes and mouth of the cat makes this feline look like a cartoon villain out to take your life.

A Two-Headed Dolphin

It seems like the internet is divided on dolphins. One section cannot get over their intelligence and kind behavior toward humans while the others despise them for their tainted backstory with animals of their own kind.
So, we can deduce that there are two parts to the story, just like this dolphin that washed ashore on a beach in Turkey. Scientists concluded that this case resembled human conjoined twins. Beyond creepy!

Firefox Has Frozen

Unlike alligators and special reptiles, foxes cannot hibernate in ice, so this little fella is pretty much gone already. It would have been sad had it not been for the open eyes.
If you have watched the movie Ice Age, you may be familiar with scenes where some of the side characters are frozen solid. This is that but in real life, and it’s giving us the creeps. In many regions around the world, the cold gets so bad that it freezes animals in place.

Peeping and Creeping

This is one of the reasons we love cats so much. It’s like they can sneak into spaces 1/10th their original size. However, when you pay attention to this cat squeezing its way out of a household vent, it’s rather disturbing.
Makes you understand better why they use the term “cat burglar.” Flexible by nature, cats can effortlessly cram in and out of smaller spaces. So, think twice before making your cat angry. After all, it has the intellect to plot your demise.

A Diver’s Nightmare

What first looks like an eye is nothing more than a harmless mollusk. The Giant Key Limpet is a northeastern Pacific Ocean species of limpet and they are oddly terrifying. Due to their intricate design, inexperienced divers could easily mistake them for a gouged-out human eye.
These are the biggest limpets out there and they eat algae to sustain themselves. They are virtually harmless to humans. Similar to abalone, Giant Key Limpets are edible, but could one really eat something like that? Debatable.

Don’t Swim Here

This is one of those pictures that make you do a double-take. What is that big brown patch in the pool? That’s a giant freshwater stingray, native to rivers and estuaries in Borneo and Southeast Asia.
They are capable of reaching up to 16.5 feet in length, including the tails. Some reports suggest finding giant stingrays weighing up to 1,300 pounds. However, this was never verified for obvious reasons. We’d be scared to even come near one!

Neighborhood’s Angry Grandpa

Every neighborhood has that one angry 60-something-year-old who absolutely hates being there. This is the man who probably has his doorbell rung eight times a day by the pesky kids running around, playing. Annoyed, he opens the door before spewing out a bunch of curse words.
That is exactly what this cheetah resembles. The growl and nose scrunch may be the best part. House cats do this all the time, reminding us that cheetahs are simply bigger cats.
