Question for Today- What's the Strangest Animal Behavior You Have Ever Witnessed?

Only animals I have here are my kittens who at present climb on the cat tree and look down on the five newly born kittens in the box below and try to figure out what they are while the kittens are now trying to get out of the box.

No stories to share; but that's a cool goat picture.

I have been in situations where animals were crossing the road and we had to wait for them. Sometimes they will just stop and look at you. Another odd thing is when a storm is coming. Watching how nervous and uptight horses will get is weird.

I guess the strangest I have seen was a cat out here sitting with squirrels.

Funny, the photo here is similar to one I saw awhile back and I was blown away at how they can walk on the mountains as fast and high as they do. Can't think if any I have experienced.

In HK, there's a place named Monkey Hill because there's a lot of monkeys there. Several years ago, my friends and I walked in that area. I was holding a bag of bread. All of a sudden, a monkey came and grabbed the bag. He was really quick. I was a bit shocked. That said, the monkeys there are quite cute and do not attack people.

Whoa, that would be a little shocking. Good thinking on turning them on. I went to an urban park that has zoo animals last year. The fox came out of his enclosure, and seemed to be posing for pictures, smiling. A coincidence? I don't think so.

Thats crazy and cool what you experienced! Mine isn't as cool but for some reason my cat when the toilet is flushed rushes over to watch it go down! Shes a strange one! Lol

Yikes, I'd really hate to have chimps on my car, it's bad enough Roscoe like to nap on the roof of mine ... at least he doesn't weigh as much as they do.

I don’t know if JJ mentioned it (I’m catching up from the weekend of being at the course), but one of his cats is standing up, drinking out of the birdbath. I love watching the videos!

Sorry, but I kind of had to laugh at your chimpanzee story, LOL! I imagined it in my mind, and then I wonder what I would have done in that situation. You were smart to do what you did, though. I don't have to look very far to see any strange animal behavior. My cat does really weird things on the daily, LOL!

I helped with several Katrina rescues during that horrible time when so many people had to leave their pets or couldn't keep them because they lost their homes. One I rescued, was an Umbrella Cockatoo. Although every attempt was made to make sure there were not owners looking for these pets, usually the owners were not found, and after a period of time the animals were adopted out to someone else. A few were returned to owners when the owners had a place to take them. This Umbrella Cockatoo was the smartest, nicest bird ever. She hated her cage, so as long as I was home, I kept the door of her cage open. She wanted to be on top of the cage. She talked just like a person. She absolutely fell in love with my West Highland Terrier. Followed her everywhere. Every morning she screeched for her ''Pretty Girl'' to come and see her, she ate a few bites of dog kibble with the dog, she tried hard to share her own treats too, and was very disappointed that the dog was not interested in orange slices or green peppers or whatever I had that I cut up and gave her for her treats. There was a blue blanket on the back of a chair that bird loved. She would cuddle down in the blanket and say Blue Blanket, over and over. She was better than a burglar alarm or a dog or a camera, no one ever came near the house without a warning being screeched out! I hated to send her back, but that's part of rescue, the fostering and such. Her family was so excited to see her, and she was excited to see them. A great reunion, but her family told me she spoke of the dog constantly for weeks, wanting to know where her Pretty Girl Charlotte was. An unlikely pair!
