Encounters with wildlife

[Lil_G]

Re-enactment of story told to Lil_G by his roommate:

So i decide to boil some water to make coffee while studying. After a little while I realize that oh s#%& i left the water on, i rush into the kitchen to the smell of smoke. So of course Lu's (one of our roommates) fire alarm goes, luckily she was in her room to turn it off while i opened the kitchen door and windows to circulate some fresh air.

I go back to hitting the books and hear this
shuffling sound - i look over to my desk to see this huge black squirrel sitting on my books....I was like 'ah' get out of here, the damn thing then runs into lu's room, jumps all over the place knocking her s@%! over as it tried to get through the closed window. Remarkably she's all calm and was like, is that your pet?....I'm like no get it out of here! And eventually manage to chase it into the kitchen and chase it out the door to which i realize i left my steaming pot on the wooden poorch....

And thus my anecdote ends. I figured we haven't had a thread like this and wondered if anyone had any funny or unusual stories of wildlife encounter.
