Man Eating Fox!

I saw this thread title and the first thing that popped into my head was sex tape with the chick from Transformers.

Is that wrong?

Yes, I am drunk.

I was bitten by a red mosquito...

We have so many freakin deer around here, it's no longer "awwww...nature...." I swear once they did the Mexican Hat Dance all over my marigolds...they were all chopped up one morning with hundred of deer prints in the dirt. One was in the yard chomping on my roses, so my husband tossed a small rock at it. It bounced off the deer, landed on the grass, and the deer looked at us like, "chill out man, I'm enjoying your plants.." and went back to beheading other things...no such thing as "deer proof"....

When I was a kid a deer jumped off a cliff at the side of the highway and landed in front of us, my dad swerved to avoid it, but nicked it, and we just about rolled off the other side of the highway into the ocean. I hit my head really hard on the window. Didn't have seatbelts back then...my dad was mad because I didn't keep my head away from the window.

But the worst: A big flock of pigeons attacked me at the Santa Cruz pier in 1992. It was awful. They were in my hair, on my shoulders...so much worse than when I had that bat in my hair...

Animals are scary...

Just last week I was at work outside moving some things around, and I stopped for a second and was standing there trying to get my stuff together(it was a little after 7am, I needed time hehe), then I turned to walk away, and as I went to walk away I felt something hit my shoe. So, I turned around thinking "wtf?", and there was a freakin' rattlesnake at my feet. He had struck my shoe! He was still kinda small, but he just about scared me to death. There's no telling how long I was standing there and walking around him before I even realized. I definately didn't hear him. I think his rattle was too small for him to use, or maybe I crushed it when I was moving stuff. I had my coworker kill it for me, though.
It was also supposed to be my day off, but I had gone in for a few hours to help out a coworker who was sick. I took that as a sign that I shouldn't be there on my day off and left.

several years ago I was at my old house in West Milford NJ and had the hatch on my jeep cherokee open and was running to and from the house packing my car for my weekly friday night trip to my beach house in Manasquan. I came down the front step stairs one last time, slammed the hatch on the jeep and turned the corner to the driver side door where I was face to face 5 feet MAX with a 350-400LB Black Bear. The bear was eating my garbage and stood up on its back to legs like you see in the movies. I instantly turned around and ran to the other side of the jeep screaming my head off. The bear proceeded to walk around the side of the house and head into the woods. I needed 30 minutes before I could even think about driving. Scary shit.

the snake's revenge will be as follows.

9,000 mice & rats will immediately infest your work place and surrounding area.

nicely done.

Ohhhhh! Man-eating fox. At first I thought the title was referring to a man eating a fox.

If he would have been anything other than a rattlesnake, I wouldn't have cared. But we spend alot of time outside, and I would hate for someone else to actually get bitten by him and have to go to the hospital. And we already have mice there, so a few more won't bother me

That's a funny skunk story. I have seen wild skunks act real casual around people before.

Heh - here's another that happened the other night - when I got home a skunk was standing by our living room window, again, eating the cat food (we have since started to bring the food in at night to discourage skunks) and I'm walking to the porch to go in and I jingled my keys at him or her and he just looked at me and resumed eating. I guess they've liked the free all you can eat buffet.

A momma grizzly and her 4 cubs passed 15 feet in front of me last year at yellowstone.

I saw so much wildlife there. It was just surreal.

I just watched some footage my good buddy shot in Yellowstone this Spring of an encounter between two grizzlies and two wolves. The two wolves were eating a kill and the two grizzlies looked like they wanted to mosey in and take it from them. However, once they got too close, the wolves charged them and the two griz took off running like hell was on their heels. The wolves actually seemed surprised for a second but then were like, ok, if you are going to run, we'll chase you. I guess nobody pulled those grizzlies aside just yet and explained to them that they are in fact giant bears who could easily take a wolf out.

It was really cool watching the griz stand on their hind legs as they were initially approaching the wolves.

I did have a raccoon encounter but only to feed them old dinner rolls on my step. They told me about you and how they laughed.

And did said German Shepard answer to the name of "Lucky?"

And I have had a wildlife encounter more terrifying than anything you can name....I had my teenage daughter's after prom party at my house.

Top that.
