    Excuse me while I throw away my swimsuits. Many of these species are threatened or endangered, so we should probably learn to get along.

    1. Great White Shark

    Okay, that one is out of the way.

    2. Narwhal

    If I came in contact with a group a spear wielding whales, I would run the other way.

    3. Fanfin Anglerfish

    Via montereybayaquarium.org

    There is a whole world of fishes like this one living deep within the ocean. This is actually one of the cuter looking ones of the bunch.

    4. Portuguese Man O' War

    Via lenzartis.blogspot.com

    A large and very poisonous jellyfish. The one thing you really don't want to see while snorkeling.

    5. Common Sawfish

    Via practicalfishkeeping.co.uk

    This critically endangered species is best recognized for having a giant saw for a snout, hiding in sand and not looking like something you would want to pick a fight with.

    6. Killer Whale (Orca)

    Sure, they look like they would be the pandas of the sea, but I'm pretty sure they are called 'Killer Whales' for a reason.

    7. Moray Eel

    Just count the teeth.

    8. Giant Squid

    Via cbsnews.com

    I think I just inked myself.

    9. Banded Sea Krait

    Via flickr.com

    Snakes on land are bad enough. Also do beware that most seasnakes are venomous, including this one.

    10. Tasmanian Giant Crab

    Via funzug.com

    I'm not sure if 'Giant' really does it justice.

    11. Bull Shark

    Via sharks-world.com

    Just imagine if a bunch of these were in a tornado.

    12. Coelacanth

    Via sciencebuzz.org

    These living fossils may not be particularly dangerous, but they do have too many fins for me to be fully comfortable.

    13. Elephant Seal

    Via static.guim.co.uk

    This picture was obviously taken by a brave individual

    14. Blue Ringed Octopus

    Via www-tc.pbs.org

    Anything that is less than a half foot in size but has the power to kill a human is not a friendly fellow.

    15. Sting Ray

    Via img2.timeinc.net

    Always ruining pictures. Tisk tisk.

    When all else fails...
