Something unknown...

People are afraid to understand, that's why they escape from reality. If someone doesn't know, he doesn't fear. People prefer being blind than facing the truth. It's just human sometimes.

In some cases I suppose.
I also think its more like not understanding the unverifiable. Example: Death
I personally think most fear death because its unverifiable as to what it's like or what will really happen. Nobody's been dead for a month and then came back to explain how everything is, its more based on a assumption. "Death by plane crash is quick and painless" some say, but really whose can verify that?
I'm not sure how this would apply to people with fear of animals or other items though. Thats why I said some cases.

I truly love your question!! I've never thought about it, but I think if you look at fear in that concept, you wouldn't fear a lot of stuff you are afraid of. Except maybe snakes and tornadoes.

Sometimes...but sometimes it's because you DO know...
Like the fear of making an as* outta myself..and then I do....and I say, "I KNEW I was going to make an as* outta myself!!!"
WTF?...why do I do that?...hmmmm
(oops...did it again...didn't I?)

It doesn't have to be something we don't understand.
I understand lightnings and thunder but that doesn't stop me from being scared of them.
