******2010 World's Hardest Creature Competition- Official Nominations Thread******

[Marty McFly]

The BULLET ANT

"It's a full inch long, it lives in trees and thus can and will fall on you to scare you away from its hive--the one you didn't know was there, because it's in a f***ing tree. Before it does this, it shrieks at you. This ant, you see, can shriek.

It's called a Bullet Ant because its 'unusually severe' sting feels like getting shot. On the Schmidt Sting Index, Bullet Ants rate as the number one most try-not-to-shit-out-your-spine painful in the entirety of the Kingdom Arthropoda."

Seconded.

It's blind, has machete like jaws and will dismantle ANY living thing in it's path.

Damn straight. Thats what makes them so terrifying.
They're not just instinctively protecting themselves. They're not even hunting. Once they see a female, they actually become PSYCHOTIC, and will basically attack and kill everything that moves, including the female. And they keep on going till they're ALL DEAD.

Christ on a bike, what a species.

I second the jaguar, the alligator snapping turtle, the bird eating spider and both the ants. Nature loves variety. And so does the worlds hardest creature competition.

Thats not hard (or had). Thats just stupid.
They self-harm. If you asked them, they'd probably say it was a "cry for help".

If they could speak. Which they can't, cos they're stupid.

Would you mess with a self harmer? They just dont follow the rules and they are clearly packing a piece
