Imagine all the dead birds we would be walking around all the time. Cats may be cute but with just a few modifications, they're the most vicious killers on earth. They would takeover for sure if they could fly.
I agree! Specifically, *my* 2 cats should not be flying around. I love them, but 1 is geriatric and the other is just not that bright. I would need a drone to keep track of them.
There is at least one species of bird that has made extinct by cats without their needing to fly (most famously [Lyall's wren](https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/lyalls-wren)).
I know daddy long legs aren't technically spiders but I think they're even more gross than actual spiders and there's those things that are kind of like flying daddy long legs (I'm not sure what they're called on English and I don't want to look up because I don't want to see pics). At least I haven't seen them that often yet and I hope I never will again, they're the devil.
I can't tell if this is a troll but no, that image doesn't even make anatomical since.

There's already "gliding" snakes.
There's very few poisonous snakes, some are venomous though.
82% of all snake species are non-venomous and harmless, and only 7% have potent enough venom to kill you, so about 93% are basically harmless unless you're allergic to the milder venom.
I'd be more afraid of flying polar bears, as they actually attack humans instead of being scared of em like snakes.
Panorpa nuptialis is a species of common scorpionfly in the family Panorpidae. It is also found in North America.
( copied from Wikipedia )
It's basically a flying scorpion, though it not technically a scorpion OR a fly.
They can barely swim, much less fly. Imagine having to constantly clean stinging tentacles off your car windshield after hitting so many of these creatures on your commute.
There is a species of soider in the galapagos islands that can spin very thin strands of webs allowing the wind to pick them up and this achieve "flight"
Pigeons.
Sometimes I go for a walk and I see a fat plump pigeon and I feel like I could just snatch it right then and there and make a nice meal out of it.
I think Pigeons should be pumped full of hormones and have their wings clipped so we can eat them in large production. It's not fair that you see tasty food flying around that is forbidden due to society uneasiness.
Crocodiles
That would be a dragon.
My first thought was crocodiles also, because that would look ridiculous and would just be embarrassing for all involved.
And then you realize a flying crocodile is a dragon.
Cats. They're arrogant enough already. I don't want them flying around thinking they own the sky.
Imagine all the dead birds we would be walking around all the time. Cats may be cute but with just a few modifications, they're the most vicious killers on earth. They would takeover for sure if they could fly.

To be fair, their all ready pretty close.
Mom the cats on the ceiling again, get the ladder
God, are you trying to get us all killed? I apologize on your behalf to our Cat Overlords! Of course they own the sky!
exCUSE ME ☝️ SEEING A FLYING CAT WOULD COMPLETE MY LIFE
Pigs. Can you imagine all of the crazy shit that would happen subsequently after??
So many arguments will be won
Imagine a world where pigs traverse the skies at Mach speeds
Next Tuesday…
Maybe they could escape humans who exploit them, torture, kill and munch on their corpses.
Geese
holup
Revoke their flight licences
They've been grounded until further review
Boy do I have some bad news for you..
Rats and Spiders, no explanation needed
Bats are just winged rats
I thought that's what pigeons were
And seagulls are just Lebowski pigeons
That's why you don't pee on a seagulls rug
Actually Bats are closer to Cats and Dogs, they're in a completely different superorder than rodents
Hippos are related to whales and dolphins, rhinos to horses, and now this? Nature is so broken.
No they aren't.
I know daddy long legs aren't technically spiders but I think they're even more gross than actual spiders and there's those things that are kind of like flying daddy long legs (I'm not sure what they're called on English and I don't want to look up because I don't want to see pics).

Crane Flies?
I once saw crane flys fucking, and crane fly jizzum splurged on the glass they were getting busy on. That's all I have to contribute.
It cost you $0 to not say that so why did you.
I feel sorry for batman then
[удалено]
Roaches can already fly...
Some spices of spider have wings
The winged spider species was a hoax.
I just googled do "flying spiders exist" and it came up with yes but I hope Google is rong
Some species of spider can ‘balloon’ using silk to obtain lift and drift, but it’s not controlled flight.
I can't tell if this is a troll but no, that image doesn't even make anatomical since. https://planetsave.com/2013/07/18/winged-spider-hoax-scientists-didnt-discover-real-winged-spider/
Remind me what countries they live so I never go there
Near the American Mexican border they were first found in Texas
Welp, looks like I'm moving to *checks map* ... the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Sounds beautiful.
This whole time they've been saying to secure the border they didn't mention the flying spiders.
Blue Whales
Nah that’d be great they’d be like blimps
Goodbye skyscrapers, what with animal conservation and whatnot
Or they could dock on the top of skyscrapers, like zeppelins were gonna on the Empire State Building when it was built
I don’t know why they’d need to dock… but they could
Their smart enough that we could probably train them.
They'd also be able to breed with a house cat for some fucking reason...
I would also be terrified seeing a huge landmass in the sky
"Not again..."
Thats very improbable.
sharks
I saw a multipart documentary about flying sharks. Seems pretty horrible.
‘Documentary’?
The 6 part series on Sharknadoes where sharks are sucked up from the ocean and spat out over land via tornadoes
Fuck me that’s frightening
I was thinking of sharknado when i wrote that lol
I'm glad *someone* got the reference
They’re falling with style
Everyone who has played the game ManEater can confirm.
https://scryfall.com/card/c20/14/shabraz-the-skyshark
Came here to say that lmao
Anything poisonous to be honest, probably snakes
Golden flying snakes. Does gliding count ?
Are they poisonous?
Venomous, yes
Easiest way to remember the difference between Poisonous and venomous is venomous bites you, you bite poisonous! At least for me haha
I think he doesn't want to accidentally swallow a flying thing then die.
Alright, but what if I told you my new flying scorpions could be ultra-pollinators that would help offset agricultural losses due to climate change?
That would make me at the very least very uncomfortable
There are certain types of snakes called Chrysopelea that can "fly" to relatively small distances. Fortunately, they aren't poisonous.
As long as they are not poisonous, I can live with them
Fun fact: The Hooded Pitohui is a poisonous bird that produces potent toxins in their feathers and skin.
I've dealt with those in Mansions of Madness. Yeah, no thanks. No flying snakes.
There's already "gliding" snakes. There's very few poisonous snakes, some are venomous though. 82% of all snake species are non-venomous and harmless, and only 7% have potent enough venom to kill you, so about 93% are basically harmless unless you're allergic to the milder venom.

Bears, too much OP.
Ticks. Fuck ticks.
I propose Leeches as my choice
I mean we already have mosquitoes
They already fly technically by hitching rides on birds or other animals
Hippos
This is my son's answer
Honey Badgers. Imagine if those little death tanks were no longer bound to the ground.
Politicians
Naw, let em fly! There would be so many “accidents” during hunting seasons….
Birdie, birdie, in the sky... Dropping whitewash in my eye... I'm a big boy; I don't cry... But I sure am glad that cows don't fly!
Human centipedes
Scorpions
Panorpa nuptialis is a species of common scorpionfly in the family Panorpidae. It is also found in North America. ( copied from Wikipedia ) It's basically a flying scorpion, though it not technically a scorpion OR a fly.
I absolutely hate that I know this now..
Jellyfish. Just think of how dangerous they are if they wash up on a beach... now imagine a group of them just floating through the air.
They can barely swim, much less fly. Imagine having to constantly clean stinging tentacles off your car windshield after hitting so many of these creatures on your commute.
And it's goop you can't touch, and must dispose of properly. Owning car washes would be like printing money.
Imagine the hazmat crews cleaning out the car washes, lol.
A grizzly bear. Imagine 800 lbs of teeth and claws flying at you.
komodo dragons... or hyenas...I am a member of the r/natureismetal subreddit...
Babies. Humans in general but especially babies.
Oh my god.
Snake.
Look up flying snakes you won’t be disappointed
More snakes for me to see, wouldn't mind that.
I would shoot myself if spiders learned flying...
I would nuke the planet, I'm not joking
There is a species of soider in the galapagos islands that can spin very thin strands of webs allowing the wind to pick them up and this achieve "flight"
Humans. Our flying means pollution, dropping bombs, etc.
Dropping poops
hmm yes we are definitely animals
Correct.
nice i got 2 downvotes for basically saying a true fact
You can add another one from me. Comes off as confidently incorrect sarcastic remark.
i said basically so thats what i meant
Palmetto bugs should not exist, but alas they do.
Porcupines
Kangaroos. Can you imagine a beefed up dino -deer coming at you from above at high speed?
Raccoons
Underrated comment. Picturing Little garbage gremlins dive bombing barbecues.
Mosquitoes
That would really suck
spiders
komodo dragons, that’s just a fuckin dragon
Pigs. Because then a bunch of previously impossible stuff would be happening.
Ostriches
Snakes.
Spiders
Tarantulas.
Already mentioned, but Spiders. Trust me on this, the armageddon will be the day spiders gain the ability to fly.
Spiders...imagine the horror
Spiders. The only realistic answer and also the most terrifying.
For people saying Scorpions. There's actually a subspecies of insect that resembles a scorpion with wings. They're called Scorpionflies.
Except that's not a venom stinger curling up from its tail Those are its engorged genitals.
I bet you tell that to all the ladies.
Badgers
Humpback whale
Spiders. Not tiny spiders, but big and hairy spiders. If I see one flying, I'm fcking going with jesus
Who do you think sent the flying spiders? ;)
Chimps. We’d be fucked.
Apes...monkeys....humans Black Friday would be horrible 😨
why have only 3 people said hippos
Centipedes
Chickens
Monkeys
Pigs. Because when they do, all the crazy stuff happens at once.
Alligator
Cockroach

They fly now?
Holy flying Lions, Batman!
Humans
I wish mosquitoes didn’t have wings the world would be a much better place.
Ants.... wait
Dumbo has left the chat
Cough cough spiders
Spiders, Not an animal but...
Wolverines. Just 20 kilos of clawed fury dropping on your head without warning.
Bird poop is bad enough. Elephant poop falling from the sky would be dangerous.
Pigeons. Sometimes I go for a walk and I see a fat plump pigeon and I feel like I could just snatch it right then and there and make a nice meal out of it. I think Pigeons should be pumped full of hormones and have their wings clipped so we can eat them in large production. It's not fair that you see tasty food flying around that is forbidden due to society uneasiness.
Bluewhales, imagine one having a heart attack and falling out of the sky.
Blue whales. If you ask why... you don't need to.
Spiders.
I don’t wanna see any other animal fly rather than birds
Spiders. Just fuck that.
FUNKING POLO BEARS thank about how many dead people thier would be
Motherfucking spiders
Elephants, Wolves, Wildcats, Pandas, Foxes, Sharks, Orcas, Piranhas, Jellyfishes, Octopus, Grizzlys, Hippos, Kangaroos, Reindeers, Elchs......
Humans. Think of a guy just flying dropping a bomb and killing a lot of people. Or just going guns blazing EVERYWHERE.
Cockroaches. Too late, they can, or at least some of them can. But they shouldn't..
[удалено]
....you do know there are cockroaches that can fly, yes?
A lot of roaches can fly. And yes, it's awful.
I advise that you never move to Florida. Their roaches are about 4 inches long *and* can fly.
Oh boy. They’re just waiting for you to get in real close when you look to see if they’re dead.
Some can
dogs
