What would you consider the "creepiest" mammal?

[Davdhole]

Here me out, something about silky anteaters unsettles me. The single sickle-like claw and those beady eyes. They look like some kind of creature that would be a common animal on another planet, like an alien opossum or something.

Also as important as they are, microbats, especially the many obscure-faced species, unnerve me as well. Interesting animals, but creepy.

You picked two of potentially the most adorable animals out there. I can see the argument for both, but I don't think I'd be scared in the slightest to come across either one (Unless they were obviously rabid or unwell). To each their own

I guess I can see a bit of a cute factor in the anteater, if I try. The bats though, like the wrinkle-faced bat, I can't. I do find them amazing creatures, but they freak me out.

Also embarrasing mistake, hear not here me out haha.

Come on, this little guy is creepy?
I'd love nothing more than the opportunity to go to the ranges of microbats with such facial structures to mist-net them or watch them in flight. You can't blame them for their intricate facial structures, they have given them a mechanical advantage through natural selection.

It looks very... unique. Intriguing. I fully love that I share the world with such a creature, in all seriousness. Also as much as it unsettles me, I do like that such a thing can exist. Of course not every animal has to have the majesty of a tiger or grace of a bald eagle, and that's awesome. Variety is amazing, even when it makes some creepy facial decisions. I love that it exists, I love that its appearance helps with its survival, and I love that it's on a screen and not in my range. I'll take a chance to go see them in the wild, and I can't say I'd be too terribly upset about leaving his range, too.

Human juveniles— they’re far worse than any other animal. They travel in packs that often change every other week, they pick petty fights with other members of their species, they constantly court those of the opposite sex, often ditching their mates for another, and they make rude noises when in class. Not to mention that they don’t smell the best, especially after a cross-country meet. How would I know any of this? I am one of these horrible creatures!

Naked Mole Rats because the little hair, pink-ish yellow skin, tiny eyes, and protuding teeth make them a bit visually discomforting but they are fun to observe in zoos

Psychopathic humans, especially those who become leaders

I don’t know if it’s just me, but as a long-standing childhood fear, I have long been freaked out with mammals that have a usually all-white face and “soul-less” black eyes.

Sure, I could blame it on pattern recognition of a human skull or other situations for this particular fear; but regarding this fact, Giant Pandas, Virginia Opossums, and Greater Gliders are the three worst offenders for me personally, as to what I consider the creepiest mammals.
