What animal on the face of this earth, would you "not" want to meet face to face on their home turf? One that would just terrify you to no end! Mine would be the "Great White" Shark! It's a killing machine and a formidable predator!

While I agree with you that sharks are scary ... and I certainly wouldn't want to run into one if I had a choice ... you actually have a chance of running one off by kicking it or punching it squarely in the snout - even a Great White. Those odds are better than nothing. Besides that here is the skinny on shark danger:
"As dangerous as they can be, most sharks will not attack humans unless bothered, and actually, sharks themselves don’t have an easy time of it. They are everywhere inhabiting most coastal waters. But surprisingly they kill less, and cause less harm to humans, than snakes and all of the beautiful creatures mentioned above (that list contained animals such as kangaroos, deadly spiders, crocodiles, poisonous fish, etc...)"
Much more fearsome to me would be the Sea Wasp or Box Jelly Fish. Here's the scoop:
The toxin present on the tentacles of Box Jellies (which may reach several feet in length) is so strong, that the few survivors from an encounter with one describe it more as an electrical shock than a burn. After contact, the person will probably leave the water screaming and will faint on the sand with marks on the body that look like streaks. Depending on the area affected, Cardio-Respiratory functions may stop in just 3 minutes, and mouth to mouth resuscitation and first aid procedures are essential to keep the victim alive.
The box jellyfish is responsible for more deaths in Australia than snakes, sharks, and salt water crocodiles put together. (And you should see the scary stats on snakes and crocs alone!) You see with these ... there is no chance ... you never see them coming and you're basically dead meat if your stung! There have been very few survivors. Yikes! Definitely more shark attack survivors than box jelly survivors.
But alas, neither of us has chosen the animal truly rated the MOST deadly animal on planet earth ... and one that has home turf everywhere in the world ... the MOSQUITO!
According to the Smithsonian, female Anopheles mosquitoes, which carry malaria, kill over 2 million people every year. The site Live Science agrees, rating the mosquito number one on its list of the top 10 deadliest animals. So the winner is mosquito!!! Pretty scary that it is also one of the most populous on earth, huh? =)

once you hear the term no balls, it has a distinctive which ability to each guy or woman. No balls to a pair human beings ability being scared to get harm, or do some thing bodily brave. To others it ability being an avoider, averting conflict, or war of words, or manipulating rather of confronting. maximum of my hardship in existence has come no longer from easily being an avoider, yet from being a shy guy or woman, and being seen as an avoider. i do no longer think human beings could locate greater guts, with the aid of fact no person, alongside with me, has guts all the time, on a daily basis. i'm basically a guy with a foul social mistrust and soreness, and a few human beings see it as concern of war of words, and as a man or woman, I care what they think of greater effective than I fake to care approximately them.

Everyday!
I could take my chances and play dead with a bear and I could pop a shark in the snout. I don't swim where there are any poisonous jelly fish. But everyday I walk were snakes crawl.
