I don't have any super exciting encounters with Wildlife. But this thread reminded me of these giant crows we had on campus. We used to refer to them as the Mutant Crows because of their size. A small child could have sat on these things! We have no idea where they came from, but there were quite a few.

I have story that my little told me that goes with this thread. We work at the same copy place (although she teaches part time, too). It was my day off, so I'll have to tell her story:

First, our store is laid out so you walk in and there are self-serve copy machines and all that kind of stuff. Then you walk back to a counter where the full-serve area is, and then the offices. If you walk through the full-serve area, you go into the storage area and break room, and there's the back door.

Well, one sunny afternoon, one of the guys took some trash out back. He apparently had the door propped open because a BAT came flying in. Of course, it flew right up front where all the customers are at. All of the coworkers are just staring at this bat. I mean, who wants to touch the thing?

Apparently a couple of the customers started to kind of freak out and they were yelling at the staff "Aren't you going to catch it?" & stuff. And my little looks this one old lady right in the eye and deadpans. "I'm not touching it. Those things carry diseases.".

So, finally the assistant manager goes to call Animal Control, but the bat flew out of the store before they got there.

Not a great story, I know.
