5 of the Most Scariest and Dangerous Animals to Avoid in Illinois

Whatever you do, if you come across any of these animals that call Illinois home, you will want to run the other way. I know I will!

There are cuddly and cute animals that I just love to be around and snuggle with, but for these animals that made this list, I will not be doing any cuddling. In fact, if I see any of these I will be running as fast as my legs can take me. Some of these animals on the list I had no idea even lived in Illinois. I will have to keep an eye out for these with all that hiking I do (or lack thereof).

Just another reason to add to my list of why I will never camp, hike, or do anything that will put me in a position where I would need medical attention for a bite. Nope count me out. Give me a nice, safe, warm, and animal-free hotel (besides dogs) any day. I am just not made to be outdoors. Call me chicken that's fine, but I will just keep using sidewalks and streets to do my walking.
