Answer 6

The best answer to this question is the Pacific gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus).  At up to 50 feet long and weighing up to 100,000 lbs., gray whales are certainly enormous, but they can be as dangerous as they are enormous, even though they have no teeth.   What makes them so dangerous?  Imagine a fly swatter 10 feet wide on a handle 20-30 feet long and powered by a muscle four feet thick.  So formidable is that weapon that killer whales (Orcinas orca) will usually leave a cow with calf in shallow water alone.  Killer whales are about the only non-human animals that kill grays, and grays are about the only non-human animals that kill orcas.

A hundred years ago, gray whales were called "devilfish," and they were the most feared creature in the sea, which was quite a feat, considering their rivals for that title included dragons, sea monsters and giant sea serpents.  Gray whales are the only creature that has ever tried to top humanity in sheer blood-thirsty barbarism, and by all accounts, they won that contest.

A gray whale can fling a man farther than a man can throw a football and higher than a man can kick a football.  A gray whale can slam a man into the side of his own whaling ship so hard that the ship sinks in seconds.  Grays had their own version of "she loves me, she loves me not," only instead of pulling petals from a flower, they pulled the arms, legs and heads off men, and they had the habit of doing so just out of range of the ships weapons.

What really makes gray whales so dangerous is that people don't realize they're dangerous.  Now, in truth, gray whales are the most gentle creatures on the face of the earth if you can avoid doing something monumentally stupid, like trying to harpoon them or their babies, but following a gray whale cow with calf too closely probably rises to that level of stupidity, and I strongly suspect that many of the boats that mysteriously disappear without a trace off the west coast of North America got too close to a cow with a calf.  If a gray whale could sink a whaling ship, with sides up to a foot thick of solid oak, as you might imagine, tail-slapping a modern recreational vessel would be like you stepping on an empty tissue box.  The boat wound sink so fast you wouldn't have time to think about anything except your immediate survival, certainly not enough time to send a distress signal.  One moment, you're sailing along, the next, you're in the water and the boat is gone.  If you're lucky, there is an EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon) floating in the debris around you.  If not, nobody will even know where to start looking for you.
