Encounters with wildlife - Page 5

My scariest encounter with wildlife had to be during my first month of school freshman year of high school. As I was walking to the bus stop, I realized that there was a cow walking down my street. The cow then proceeded to start walking towards me. At this point, I ran like hell towards my house, as the cow started to pick up steam and charge down my street. Now, besides the obvious question of why the hell there was a cow walking around my neighborhood, there was the problem that my homeroom teacher wouldn't buy it as an excuse of why i was late to homeroom....seriously.

Oh, and on the discussion of cheap beers - Meister Brau (spelling might be wrong) cans look like Budweiser cans, they're really cheap (I've seen them for as low as less than 10 bucks for a 30), but trust me, they are a BAD idea the next morning. Worst hangover ever. And trust me, I've drank some pretty cheap beer.

oh my goodness, I can't believe I have missed this thread. Cause I too have had a umm encounter with wildlife.
Last yr, during summer session it was late, I was walking back to my dorm room, but was a good five minutes or 10 minutes away, I Lived up hill and I was downhill. So on my journey, i heard a ruffle shuffle, and to my knowledge it was a squirel.Mind you I am not afraid of squirles, until they start persuing you. The squirel was running after me, I swear to goodness, and I did nothing to this squriel. SO anyway, I ran to the nearest opened building, which being my luck was Public Safety.I explained my story of mr. squirel chasing me, in which they made sure I was not under the influence, (which I wasn't, was just hanging at a friends house) so now every time I see a squirel I kinda quicken the pace a bit ya know what I am saying
(Good Thing I am a Fast runner, Track actually paid off)

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.

Ex - yep, there's gotta be something good about can. television, and alf reruns are it...yet to me, i see them as reliving life...so many memories....

DGPhoney - see, that just reiterates everything that i've been saying...squirrels are out to take over the world and must be taken out, whatever the cost.

Update on the situation:
the trash cans have remained in tact for the last few weeks - could be the product of either their hibernation for winter or our mission, which we turned into a brotherhood exercise.

So one time I was at the park with my friends with out dogs and this little blue jay lands on my shoulder. I felt like Snow White...until it moved to my head and wouldnt get off. I was flailing around and trying to get it off my head without hurting it. After like 5 minutes it finally flew away and thankfully without using the little birds room on me!

Good, glad you've kept them in line at least. The squirrels are out to take the world lol. They have knocked everything out of our trees.

I think you are correct.

I would like to say first of all that I totally brake for animals to the point of putting myself and my passengers at peril sometimes!!!! I mean, I am the goofy chick who moves the worms that crawl onto my driveway when it rains so we won't run over them. In fact I saw some old bat hit a beautiful dog once and not stop, and I chased her down and made her pull over and forced her to go back.....(yeah I am a psycho)

Anyway, the black squirrels at Kent follow you. If you have food they will stalk you. I got followed all the way across campus one day. You can hand feed them and some of them will break into dorm rooms to eat. One of my friends had a squirrel who came over for cereal every day during the Price is Right....no lie. One of the profs built a special ladder and platform up to his window so the squirrels could come in and hang out.

You wanna talk about scary wildlife stories, well let me tell ya, I have lots...Most are hilarious....

Since I live on a farm in the country, you tend to get the wierd stuff happening....Anyways I was like 6 years old. My mom, sister, and brother and I were coming home, as we pulled up in the driveway, we saw a dog in the driveway, so we stopped. well lo and behold it was the dog from HELL, so it JUMPS ON TO THE HOOD OF THE CAR AND THEN JUMPS ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. So us kids, we start screaming our heads offs, cuz there is Kugo the psycho dog on the roof pawing and growling. So my mom backs up, trying to get the dog off the roof of the car, then speeding up and braking hard, well thee dog has super polly grip or something cuz it would not get off. I was so screaming cuz hello PYSCHO DOG. Anyways the dog wouldn't get off, so my mom say kids we r gonna have to run to the house. so my mom drives up on the lawn and we all dash for the house, I mean we were bookin, yeah so el pyscho dog decides to come after us, we barely get into the house. And Kugo (that's what I call it cuz it was a big ass dog) is outside the door. We are still screaming because hello KUGO is growling outside the door ready to kill us (ok maybe not kill us but hey the dog was scary) So like an hour later my dad comes home, (Kugo was out back at the side door), OH MY SISTER DECIDES TO FEED KUGO CUZ SHE FELT SORRY FOR IT. So my dad scares off Kugo somehow, and we don;t see him again. Thank god.......

Oh I have more stories., but I'll tell them soon
