Bears don't give me the creeps but I'd be a bit terrified if ever I saw one in close proximity! I've had a few "meet ups" with poisonous snakes in my backyard in the past and that had me shaking for hours! We have Alligators down here that I've seen from the boat but I sure wouldn't want to be in the water with them!
This isn't a poisonous snake but a photo I took of a large Yellow Rat Snake that was in a tree in the backyard a couple of years ago ... eek!
