As scary as most of the other creatures are, I think if I were to see a giant squid, I would probably be scared to death. It'd be like if a sea monster were to show up dead on the beach one day, y'know what I mean?

I wouldn't know right now...

...I'd especially hate it if it was to happen at night.


-shark= JAWS; I've heard in a tv show that a person that lost both legs by one said that it felt like a car hit her and then heard a "click" ; it was her pelvis being broken

- orca= just have to see the way they attack seals...and even sharks

- piranhas= all those fishes bitting you at all sides in seconds

- giant squid= as you've said. All those tentacles and then there's the mouth


and even tough it won't eat you,,, a blue whale. If that thing would swim by me I'd die of a heart attack by its size...

Okay,about sharks,that's just nonsense.
Shark don't eat people,they sometimes attack when they see surfers and think it's a seal but they leave when they realize it's a human but they don't eat people,Jaws is just nonsense.
And Piranas live in sweet water,not salt water.

Basically I know all that; as if a giant squid woud attack someone AND actually eat him/her.

This is just asking.

PS

About shark= JAWS; obviously the same... and with orcas too. I'm just saying.

Besides, tell that to a person that was attacked:

Piranas-Still.
Sharks-Are you watching Jaws too much? I didn't entered the link but they don't eat people,they might attack but they don't EAT them,you don't actually believe that shark eat everything in the world,do you?.
You also think that a blue whale will swallow you?.
About your question-Does cheerleader count? how about underwater lizards?.

Actually bull and tiger sharks are both known to prey on humans. Where as most sharks, bite once and swim off, those species will keep coming back. Great Whites, the most feared shark, rarely bites a second time. But that first bite is so big, not many humans can survive it.

Orcas don't scare me. There is no record of a wild orca attacking a human. If I came upon any of those animals, an orca is most likely just going to investigate me and then swim off.

Piranha. Seriously? I'm not even humoring this one. Piranha only attack humans if they are bleeding. Piranha are actually pretty shy creatures. BTW, there are far worse things in the Amazon than piranha. Like that fish who follows a stream of urine and will embed itself into a part of the body, even on humans. I think I rather get attacked by piranha.

Giant squid. No proof they prey on humans.

I say Other. Other being jellyfish. Box jellies for instance, you get stung by one of those, you might as well make sure someone is there to record your oral will. Because there is next to no survival rate on those. They are silent, they can be next to invisible in the water, and they don't care who you are.

Maybe these kind of sharks eat humans but I don't think that a great white sharks eat humans.
Orcas are dangerous?.
There are lizards underwater? (They don't attack but I don't like them at all).
Jellyfishes are dangerous alright.

Have anyone actually understood what I tried to say?

I'm not saying all these creatures would eat you or attack humans just because.

I'm saying that IF that was the case, which animal would scare you the most.

IF... as IMAGINARY, POSSIBILITY.... whatever.

You know... as in which one's scarier? Jason, Freddy or Pinhead...


Don't have to take things literally. :roll:


PS

Ariel's Prince... did you actually read what I posted about blue whales twice?

That I'd be scared just by its size; period.


...you should take a look at the link

A shark, particularly if it were one of those Megaladons that are extinct (supposedly; but who can really tell what's left in the deeps of the ocean). It's not so much the threat of being eaten by one, though, which is minimal at best. Just that they give me the creeps... the dead eyes, etc. Fish shouldn't come any bigger than a foot or so long, if you ask me... just as bad as a spider would be if it were bigger than your head.

If I'm dead, I'd probably stop worrying about the animals.

Jellyfish. They sting, kill and look "yukky".

Oh,then in that case-Lots of things by just seeing them,even some small fishes sometimes when I"m in the sea (Well,they aren't cute and pretty fishes from reefs,and I don't want them to touch me).

I chose other, because if I were to die at sea I'd like to die by a sexy siren or mermaid singing to me...then drowning me...
