Really, no dangerous creatures at all! Well AEnigma III, you might come to my area, it's very touristic. I'm in San Francisco, CA. In the city proper, it's not probable you would meet a bear, but any of the other things I mentioned you could very well meet.
I didn't mention Ocean Beach, the under tow there is very dangerous. People get swept out to sea in a pretty regular schedule. If you ever visit, follow the advice of the signs. We also have jelly fish too, forgot to mention them.
Black widow spiders make you sick, but they don't' kill. The Brown Recluse spider is pretty new to the area, and I know at least 5 people who have been bitten by them. They make a really horrible mess when they bite. Look before you sit, shake things out before you put them on. Particularly if you set things, like your shoes and socks on the floor.
Rattlesnakes all over CA, even in the city. It's not likely you would ever see one in the city, but I did. Just look where you step, don't stick your hands in dark places fast. Shake your garments, shoes and socks out before you put them on.
In the country, not at all far from the city cougars have attacked joggers. Like all cats, their instincts are to chase running things. It is not a regular event though. The cougar are beautiful animals.
We don't have large bears in the city, but in the mountain areas they exist. Like I said, I have friends who had them enter their homes. They now have nice bear rugs. Of course, there are also Grizzly Bears in really mountain areas. Now that is a serious bear! I've never seen one, and don't want to. In fact the only bear I've ever seen were ones made into rugs, but I know they are around and avoid those areas....
