Has a wild animal ever frightened you?

Yes! years ago my sister and I were walking down a camping trail twords evening and she said a big dog was following us, but when I turned around, I saw that it was a wolf! A big silver wolf with copper eyes and it had it's head low, it's tail stiff and it was making low growling noises. We were terrified! I knew it was menasing and was thinking about attacking, but I noticed that if we stared it down and slowly walked backwards, it kept it's distance, but when we turned away, it moved fast and was right behind us, so we ended up walking slow and backwards all the way down the mountain trail, till the campers and trailers came into view, then the wolf stayed back and finally disappeared! I was never so scared in my life and my sister cried the whole time durring that backward walk! I have often heard people say to never stare down a wild animal but in our case it worked! We were on our way home an hour later! My dad didn't want to stick around after that!

I remember one night I thought I seen a cat so I followed it going "HERE KITTY KITTY" followed it for about 5mins trying to pet it then it moved into some light and thats when I noticed it was a huge skunk. Dont ask me why it did'nt spray me but I was so lucky. Moral of the story don't try and pet what you can't see!lol

no i have not come across a wild animal ever

Being from the back woods the answer would be YES. I guess there are to many to list. When you like to camp and hunt you see a lot of animals some people may not get normally come across. I have had this happen both day and night times.I think the scariest times of being approached or startled is at night. You have more options during the day to escape. I have to ask as well what do you consider to be WILD? Would that be animals living outside?

Well.. the only wild animal I remember being afraid of when I saw it was a rattle snake. When I lived in California, our house was right up against a canyon. A friend and I were walking in the canyon and I saw the snake. We ran away! ahah

yeah i hav been startled by a snake.i was lookin for my cricket ball under some roof covers n der was a big snake underneath one of them it was terrifying

Yup, phobia will kill you...

Cute Squirrel pictures by the way. I have had Squirrels throw nuts at me when I was under their tree lol.. I laughed cause I was gathering the acorns anyhow lol.. they shook the branche, so I was pleased :D ... The other time. I was walking really fast down the hill in a tall grass a baby ribbon snake.. crawled onto my leg I was walking at running speed I kept trying to shake this piece of string off my leg until I stop and saw this poor dizzy snake slowly slither off my leg into the grass under burdock leaf peaking its head out at me.. Probably trying to figure out what I was a I was trying to figure out what it was... Another snake experience was I crawled under the electrical fense it crawled onto my shoulder, and Next I know this baby gartner snake and I are looking eye to eye frozing wondering how we ended up eye to eye, so I wuickly caught it, and released it at the edge of the marsh grasses outside of the horse pasture.... Then one night I heard these noises at the window, and a bunch of taps, I thought my cat was climing the screen again... and may have gotten confused.. and was hanging there. I went outdoors to investigate at 12:30 in the morning shined up my flash light. To have a large Great Horned owl panick flying past me as it swatted me in the face with its wing.. Now that was quite a surprised I am not sure who was more startled me or the owl :) ... It evidently did not bother the owl to much as it slept with three or four others at my bedroom window for most of the winter.. Turns out my sisters friend broke into the house so the window was partly open so the owls were hanging out there to keep warm. Wise buggers huh... Now good at all on the heating bill though... Then the time the Asian Lady Bugs woke the entire house up.. How you asked? They crawled into the smoke alarms! as we all glared at eachother wondering who set it off wandered all over the house and I then spotted the little culprit crawling in and out of the alarm ... Maybe that was it's plan to get back outside? .. Since the weather was warming up again. :) .

Yes, but would you like to hear about the coyotes or the deer that hit the glass sliding door in my livingroom???

I live in a very secluded area and we have a problem with opossums. They get in the trash and are just every where. Our dogs kill one at least 3 times a month. One night I stepped out onto the front porch to get some air and right at my foot was one staring at me. I look up and one is on the porch banister. Its like the were going to gang up on me. I knew not to freak so I slowy backed into the house and then slammed the door. Those things are really dumb too. You ever notice when you driving and there in the road they make no attempt to get out of the way. Its like they want to die. I actually stopped in the road and waited on one to get out of the way because I didnt want to run over it. I dont know if it was blinded by my head lights or what but it just kept walking around in circles. I have always wanted to catch one while it was a baby and keep it as a pet. i want a baby racoon too. Im weird.

Funny i know i have yet nothing come to mind right now! :(Only thing i can think of is when we were walking out of you house last night and the dog scared you!
