Animals That are Evil.

I consider myself very pro animal/nature/wildlife, but lets face it, some of the creatures on this planet have evolved into quite the assholes. Here are some:
Baboons
- Stealing people's lunches from out of their cars then going to kill each others babies out of some petty revenge
Racoons
- Rabid, mean
Ants
- Swarm things and eat them alive, crawl on my shit
Ok, that's a start, feel free to add on.

You've got the yellow crazy ant that will be firmly in control of Christmas Island before long.
Army ants are unstoppable killing machines.
And of course, fire ants are incredibly invasive and destructive, and not even bodies of water can save you because HOLY SHIT THEY MAKE UNSINKABLE RAFTS OUT OF THEMSELVES!
hahaha kangaroo jack-ass
the ost to this vid is ill.
word, unless you fake the funk...
A few minutes later...
fuck if i'm ever going up into the mountains for a hike. i don't want to be found dead with tevas on my feet.
that shit is crazy. like something out of a sci-fi movie indeed.
that one ant looks like a podling from the dark crystal.
The one at SF zoo scared the shit out of me.
What's evil about a preying mantis? They're most fascinating.
Actually most cultures see them as a symbol for good luck.
Botflies are evil. The females of some species capture mosquitos and attach their eggs onto them before releasing them again. When the mosquito lands on a mammal, the hatched botfly larvae senses the body heat and lets itself drop onto the host wher it digs into the sting canal from the mosquito or travels to an inviting haircanal or big, open pore. There it begins to dig in. The bot fly larvae doesn't suck blood, it chews away on the host's flesh. They grow to the size of up to an inch long and about a quarter inch thick, the top end that is burrowed deep into the host's skin has jaws that gnaw away on tissue while the tail end shits and breathes on the skin surface.
There's a species in West Africa that deposits it's eggs on the ground where they can smell that mammals often rest. Our three dogs all were affected at various times with usually 1 to 3 larvae, the smallest of our dogs though almost died from it once because it came down with over a hundred larvaes spread over the entire hind part of her body. I noticed the infestation on a Saturday or a Sunday and couldn;t reach the vet. I had noticed her behaving strangely, being overly tired and licking herself like nuts but at first couldn't see anything through the thick fur. When I saw what it was, I shaved half her body with my hair clipper and began extracting the larvaes like you would squeeze out a pimple, I had given her valium and pain killers because our house keeper Amadou who helped me hold her down told me that the removal would be excrutiatingly painful. He said even grown men would often cry like children during the procedure because the larvae have rows of shark thorns that hold them firmly in place. It was fucking digusting. I had to mark each hole with a black eding to be able to distinguish empty holes from full ones since the whole skin quickly became swollen and oozing wound fluid. Some of the larvae would rapture when I squeezed and maggot guts would splatter into my face and eyes. It took me 3-4 hours to be done and Amadou who had grown up in the bush of Sierra Leone and seen a lot of hard shit in his life was shook afterwards. The dog looked like someone had blasted her behind with a shotgun. I think I had consumed a half bottle of rum to keep my hands steady and to stop myself from puking. Fucking botflies that's some genuinely evil shit.
I haven't seen one for years and years. Amazing and beautiful creatures. The (sub)urban legend when I was a kid was that they were protected by law and there was a fine of $50 if you killed one. It didn't seem like enough.
The brown ones looked sharp, too:
I've seen many different species in Africa but just last fall a large green one about 5 inches long ended in our bedroom here in Brooklyn. I have some pictures somewhere of young ones hatching from their eggs just next to our terrace back in Guinea. They look like shrimp and they descend from the egg that's usually attached to twigs in a bush on fine strings, then they land someplace and quickly fold into a mini mantis and only about 1 or 2 hours old they're already hunting for small lice and shit. Fascinating stuff!
It is. I feel bad for a lot of kids these days here in America who don't seem to get to know nature very well, if at all.
Proof positive (warning not safe for the squirmish):

and for those interested, a brief youtube search will turn up some nasty videos of people removing them from under their skin

some horrific stuff right there
I took a class in Parasitology in college and it was full of nasty shit like this. Interesting as hell but terrifying to say the least.
Jesus.
Still have scars on under my shoulder blade where I had two small ones taken out. Extracting them wasn't so bad but they're f***ing painful when they start shifting under your skin, like being jabbed with a needle. Thought they were infected bites until my friend said she could see something moving. So glad I couldn't actually see them. Poor doggie!
Look up what a bite can do, then proceed to not sleep for months.
