Umm… of the top of my head, I have seen thousands of deer, many of them hanging from a tree in my backyard:) Tons of rabbits, squirells, chipmunks, raccoons, opposums, etc. A few bears and bobcats and coyotes. Flocks upon flocks of wild turkey. Weirdest thing though wa the turkey in Boston!
A lion. In Baltimore City, no less. It was someone’s pet and one day it got away from them and ran right in front of our car. Luckily we didn’t hit it and in return, it didn’t eat us (actually, it was about as tame as a lion could be, I think it was used in television and such).
Chickens, but only odd because a chicken transport truck had overturned so there were hundreds of them.
And a cow. Well, it didn’t actually run out in front of me, it was just sort of standing there in the middle of the road and only ambled off after I had honked my horn at it for 15 minutes. And they say donkeys are stubborn
It’s not a critter but once I was driving downstate on I-95 when a construction worker jumped in front of me from the side of the road…I didn’t hit him luckily but I was so close to…
squirrels, rabbits, shrews (kinda like mice, but with no tails and really ugly) and the occasional moruning dove … no deer or anything interesting around here!
Well, it didn’t run across the street but I was driving home from church one day and there was an emu on the side of the road. It through me for a loop until I realized that it had probably escaped from a farm.
well i just remembered that i didn’t tell ya’ll the weirdest one for me.
one morning on the way to work…before i’d had enough coffee…i saw this thing going across the road pretty far away. it was like flowing and don’t ask me why, but the first thing that popped into my head was the loch ness monster!! weird brain fart i guess…anyhow when i got down to it i couldn’t believe it. it was a peacock with its tail down(that’s what was flowing) well i thought i was losing it. but it was really there!
Hmm, i’m not sure if this counts, but just this weekend my family found an injured pigeon that couldn’t fly stuck in our garage. After we got it out, it spent the rest of the day sitting on the steps in front of my house. Yet, by the next morning it disappeared as mysteriously as it came…
A white owl. Driving on Rt. 31 in Jersey in winter outside Washington (no guys, not the Washington by you, the one by me…), in my mom’s LeBaron, the thing flew into the side of the roof bonnet and shettered the thing as it exploded into a cloud of feathers. Guy behind me told me about it after I pulled over. Crazy.
