The Top Ten most Deadliest Animals in Ireland.

I was down in South Africa not so long ago and I got my picture taken beside a sign showing the various marine animals that were plentiful in the ocean around the cape. Most of them would eat you. I then went on safari and we had to be escorted to our lodge by a ranger because there were lions spotted nearby and a hippo charged a couple the day before.
@janton did a post about his infestation with scorpions when he moved to a new * itemhome . Scorpions??? What in the ....??? I’d be gone.
Ireland is not a bad spot to love. No earthquakes , no volcanos and we had a hurricane last year for the first time in 25 years. Apart from some rain in the summer we cannot really complain.
This post is about the top ten most deadliest predators in Ireland.

The Jack Russell

This dog has small man syndrome and is known to pick fights with bigger dogs. And most of the time they win . It is contrary , temperamental and moody. They have razor sharp teeth and are most likely owned by older people. Very energetic and nifty.

The big Hairy Spider

Measuring a cm in diameter . The arch enemy of the common housewife. Death is the only option and a room overturned in order to banish this unwanted guest. A trip out the back is not enough and this creature has to be exterminated in order for sleep to be had. The common housewife has a fear that spiders will walk into their mouth while sleeping because they read it in an article that it happens 8 times in an average persons life!

The Flying Daddy Long Legs

Scientists are not too sure where these guys come to and where they disappear but they are prominent during the month of September bouncing off walls and windows. Normally if you turn to swipe one with a magazine and miss then they will charge. Panic can set in and one can sustain an injury. These guys love a light bulb. There reason of being is still not known.

The Wasp

This bastard is our top predator and normally appears at picnics around fizzy orange. The best defence against a wasp is to get up quickly and flail your arms around you head while letting girly grunts out. Once the wasp knows it is being attacked it will stay with abuser like a guided missile. Point to note. Wasps are not to be confused with lovely fluffy bees that are too busy working while these dickheads do nothing only annoy people! They pack a bad sting that may hurt for an hour.

*** The Horsefly ***

These bad boys exist anywhere there is cow or horse dung. So that’s everywhere in Ireland so. I am putting these on the list because they pack a punch when they bite you. They don’t just nip , they tear flesh and you end up with a hive like lump on your person. I got 5 of them one day walking the dogs so these bastards are on my list!

A bull

You would want to be terribly unlucky to be injured by a bull in a field. Most of the bulls in Ireland just look at you and keep eating the grass. It has still made the list because it is the only animal bar a horse that can kill you.

A horse
I was walking past a horse last year and the fucker let a kick out and it caught be in the ass. It was like a cartoon where I end up in the water with or a trough. The horse went back to eating grass which one eye on my reaction. I suffered a large bruise for a couple of weeks and had trouble sitting.

The big black/ brown dog

I’ve bundled these together but it includes German Shepard’s, Rottweilers , Bull terriers and Rottweiler. I’ve never had a run in with any of them but their bite is worse than their bark. I own a Rottweiler and he is afraid of his own shadow. However the last time I was playing with him he pulled the T-shirt off my back. That was a long walk home from the park!

The Ram

My second run in I had with an animal was a ram. I was walking the dogs again and one of the dogs barked at a lamb. A ram was nearby and he charged the dog and threw him up in the air. The dog ran away yelping with the tail between his legs! I was next . I received a head butt to the leg but I managed to hold his head back for the next blow and limped to the safety. I gave out to the dog for his initial bark but he was embarrassed enough as it was.

A Rat

Once trapped in a rat instinctively goes for your jugular! How do they know is my question? But I never go out of my way to corner a rat! I saw a hilarious video a few weeks ago where a man and his cat try and catch a rat. The results are hilarious!

So there you have it! Ireland’s most dangerous animals! No sharks , no crocs, no bird eating spiders ! But I definitely wouldn’t mess with a Jack Russell!
