7 Pictures that show how dangerous swimming really is

1 Who knew stingrays could get so large? This would truly freak us out!

2 We’re not comfortable swimming in any body of water that doesn’t have a bottom we can see. This would truly scare us from swimming in this area!

3 This one is too scary for words to eloquently capture! We hope to never run into anything so frightening.

4 We have no idea what that is, but if it lives in the water, then we’re never stepping into that body of water again.

5 We’ve never seen an octopus this big. What would you do if one got this close?

6 Admittedly this is just kelp, but if we saw this in real life, we would run for the hills!

We’ve seen Jaws. We’ll stay on land for now.

The oceans, rivers, lakes, and all other forms of natural bodies of water are truly beautiful, but in them, there can be animals that are beyond our biggest dreams (or nightmares!). While these photos presented above are truly stunning, we’ll be sticking to pools for now after seeing these images!
