What was the most terrifying animal you encountered?

A few weeks ago, a few workers in nearby plantation complained of wild fowls squealing and clamouring. Next time it happened, a couple of us went to investigate. It was like a battlefield. The wild flows were flying around, producing loud noises in a certain area. As we approached, we noticed a big king cobra standing up almost to a man's height. It was hissing and posturing. The ladies who came with us shrieked in fear and ran.
They refused to work near that location for a month.

It was a scary sight, but I must say that it was also magnificent. It is a majestic animal.

@BizSuitStacy In Saudi. Some American ground crewmen had caught one and where using it to freak out their youngest team member. I took one look and it became the stuff of nightmares

@WintaTheAngle Venomous?

@Renkon Not venomous but between the size of their jaws and they fact the inject stomach acid to everything they bite…its not a good idea to get bitten by it.

@WintaTheAngle Agree. Not a good idea at all.
