In the actual wild with no barriers between me and them:
- multiple alligators, some probably about 13 feet long or so, but they [i]generally[/i] leave humans alone (although that is not guaranteed, and we've had more than one human fatality in recent years ... so it's not of much comfort to know how they usually act, when you come into an area where a large one is not that far away and can easily get to you)
- a pair of venomous copperhead snakes that were coiled up under a gutter downspout splash guard I picked up to move so I could mow the yard in that area ... needless to say I backed the fuck up and threw the splash guard down 馃ぃ
- a black bear cub that charged toward me for a moment to spook me, but my main concern was where was the [i]mother[/i] bear
- wild elk that could've gotten mean if I had gotten any closer
- numerous black widow spiders over the years

In other settings:
- numerous sharks in a cheesy tourist attraction captivity tank that had a ridiculous catwalk over the water, from the entrance door to the exit door, with a pathetic guard rail that was only a couple of feet high ... I was a kid and had no idea what I was about to walk into, and I was not happy with it at all
- bison in a cheesy drive-through-and-feed-the-critters wildlife park ... I can't remember for sure but I think some dipshit drove through there on motorcycle
