I may not be the best person to talk about any sort of creepy crawler or animal that could possibly kill me in a matter of seconds. But here we are. To be honest too, I cannot stand one of species on the list. They get every single "nope" outta me with a trail of smoke left behind from running so dang fast.


5 Dangerous, "Nope get me outta here," Animals in Washington State:

Bears - 

Washington has Black Bears and Grizzley Bears. Though the population of Grizzley's is small, there is still a good group of them in the Selkirk Mountains. You especially want to "nope right out," if momma bear and her cubs are around.

Cougars - 

No I am not talking about your friends' mother, geez. For real though, cougars freak me out! they stalk, creep around and can run super-fast! NOPE!

Elk - 

The size along of these guys are just jaw droppingly huge, and funny enough, they can be rather defensive and aggressive. I do like looking at them though through binoculars when they are roaming through the snowy areas of Washington.

Rattlesnakes - 

I do not like snakes in general, not even the "harmless," ones. Nope. I'll never forget coming across a rattler when I was a little girl, with my grandmother. We just quietly backed away. Lucky nothing happened, but please do be careful and watch your step when hiking.

Black Widows - 

This one takes the cake for me, heck NOPE! If I see one, it almost makes me want to burn the place down and start from scratch. I don't even want to share a picture below, but I will. Biggest chills for this creepy crawler. Nope, Nope and... NOPE!
