I propose that the scariest animal in the known universe is the water bear. Not for the following reasons:
They are unique in the animal world for being able to tolerate and sometimes even thrive under such conditions as: 303 degrees F (151 degrees C), altitudes of over 6000 meters, oceanic depths below 4000 meters, both poles, the equator, cold approaching absolute zero, 1,000 times more radiation than any other animal, and even the vacuum of space (a very useful trait for those water bear cosmonauts). They are found everywhere.
No, they are terrifying because… they’re just so darn cute. No really, I want a plush toy of one. Christmas is coming!
(Title of the post changed! for more silliness.)

It’d be an adorable plush toy, Andrea, as long as you don’t expect it to be life-sized!
