Both are actually very dangerous to humans, the top picture(actually the bottom ones the top is a yellow garden spider) is a banana spider, and obviously the lower is a tiger. for some reason people actually keep these as pets. The danger is different from each, the spider is small and its possible to not know about it until it bits you, its has a very powerful neurotoxin which can kill you. The tiger on the other hand can chase you down and will rip in to you with its claws, but its method is to bite the neck to suffocate its pray.

Brazilian wandering spider(deadly banana spider)... I guess doing an image search doesn't actually give you any accuracy. thanx smalltowngirl

The spider D:

rcapo89 · 01-14-2010, 06:45 AM

I voted tiger. If I were trapped in a room with a tiger and a spider, I would of course be more terrified of the tiger, knowing it could easily rip my face off and tear me to shreds.

march_hare · 01-14-2010, 06:52 AM

Definitely the tiger. It actually wants to eat my flesh, unlike a spider who probably wants to keep away from me just as badly as I want to keep away from it. Also, a tiger can't be conveniently exterminated with a swift blow from a rolled-up newspaper

SPIDER !!!

heyJude · 01-14-2010, 10:58 AM

Definitely the tiger.

The spider, seeing as I want to own a tiger someday.

I'm assuming the tiger will be trained or you'll be torn to shreds.

KyleThomas · 01-14-2010, 12:00 PM

I voted spider, but it depends on the situation.

Just from looking at the pictures, the tiger looks cute and fluffy and like I'd want to pet it, whereas the spider makes my flesh creep just by looking at it.

On the other hand, if I had to pick one of them to be in the room with me right now, I'd obviously choose the spider, as I could easily outrun it. (Or have someone smash its nasty, alien-looking body with a large, heavy object.)

Tiger.

I'd rather be poisoned than ripped apart.

SilentLoner · 01-14-2010, 12:50 PM

The spider picture made me jump so I voted spider.

Spiders are way more scary. They can attack you without you even knowing about it, tigers are not so sneaky. I was bit by a Brown Recluse a few years ago, and didn't even know it until I was rushed to the hospital. Tiger attacks, in my opinion are much easier to avoid.

rincewind · 01-14-2010, 12:52 PM

Tiger. If the spider starts harassing you you can always just stand on it. Try standing on a tiger and see how far that gets you

Deathinmusic · 01-14-2010, 02:08 PM

I think a loose tiger would be a lot more horrifying.

shyvr6 · 01-14-2010, 02:43 PM

I think the spider just has a more eww factor than a scary one. If I saw a loose tiger near me, I would definitely say the tiger would be more scary.

One of them crushes you, and the other one can be crushed by you...

Nicely stated.

Louis · 01-14-2010, 06:12 PM

i guess the tiger, but neither really

neurotic1 · 01-15-2010, 07:44 PM

Personally I think the spider would be more of a problem. its more likely that you would encounter the spider than the tiger, they come shipped with bananas so you never really know, the tiger would most likely be a problem if you were in asia or africa and you would know if this thing is there once it starts to make noise, the spider is very quiet and you never really know if its under some dresser or hiding some place. though most spiders would actually run away from people this particular spider is actually not afraid and will come after you to attack, its not as small as i made it sound too, it grows to be as big as your hand and the poison can kill you. Though i think the cytotoxic venom is more nasty as it just kills all the cells and leaves a bad wound that wouldn't be much different than a tiger taking a bit out of you leg or arm, this spider is more deadly you would be paralyzed and die like a snake bit. The tiger would really only be a problem if you were in the jungle and it considered you food, it would probably be all over if it got you by the neck, though again its less likely than having to deal with the spider, the tigers are also hunted by humans, they actually learn and remember and are more likely to fear a human and run away than go after it as food, we're just not its usual pray. I think it would be interesting to see the outcome of a battle between the spider and the tiger, if your ever trapped in a room with both just use something to throw the spider at the tiger, if it bites the tiger the tiger will die after some time and then you can come after the spider and try and kill it. The most scary animal is the human.
