Oooo...this is a hard one.
I think it would have to be certain birds. Wild birds are gorgeous, love them, and as far as pet birds go, parrots and love birds and other types can be really affectionate, and have beautiful voices and are entertaining...BUT, when I was a kid we had a cockatiel...it was loud and annoying, bit EVERYONE and made a huge mess anywhere within 5 feet of it's cage.

Those kinds of birds I do not like...

Spiders! I do not like to be around them. I've been bit on three different occassions by brown recluse spiders and have the scars to justify my fear of them. I understand that spiders can serve a good purpose to help keep other insects in check/etc...but on that same token- i've wound up going to the ER as a result of some pretty nasty spider bites- so if they wind up in my house, i squish them

Hippopotamus - they are evil and mean to the cute baby hippos oh and they are ugly.

Alligators - because they show them so much on Animal Planet. I don't get the fascination


Bears - I have a fear that one is going to kill me
When I was visiting Glacier National Park I was so scared that I was going to run into one and it was going to maul me.

Spiders. I have gotten better over the last few years but the big ones still bother me. We get a lot of big spiders here. There was one outside my house and it was so huge and gross. Its still there, but its dead now and it still bothers me.

I also really can't stand centipedes. We have had a few of them around the house lately.
I have been on the lookout for them now.

I also don't really like dogs. Hyper dogs and big dogs especially. Theres no real reason why, I have just always been a cat person.

Earthworms give me the willies, and always have since I was a kid. I do have a mildly irrational reaction to ticks - I can't stand to even look at them.
