I’m a huge sucker for a good killer animal flick.

So much so I decided to do a list of my top ten, Just remember the list is of real life animals such as crocodiles, sharks, spiders etc not monsters.

So here it is, my list of my ten favourite Killer animal films (the list is not in a favouritism order):
