have you ever encountered a wild animal or dangerous one??

Yes, my turtle when he is hungry! Never meet other animals more dangerous!

I always heard there were timber rattlers in Tennessee while I was living there, but I was fortunate enough to never run into one. I did know several people who were bitten by brown recluse spiders, and that's about as nasty as I'd ever want to have to see someone tangle with.

i have not encountered a wild animal as i have not been to a place where there are wild animals. i just go to a zoo.

Hai just nice to see u back.So nope i did not had any encounter with a wild animal.YES JUST MY DOG DID BIT ME TWICE

Yes, I grew up in the hills of West Virginia. There were copperhead dens all over the cow and horse pasture. I have seen black bears and foxes while picking poke greens and digging ginsang. One time I was pulling weeds in the garden and I touched a snake. I screamed and ran like crazy. My husband laughing all the while. He said he never saw anyone run that fast and never move. I was so scared that I never seemed to get my feet and legs working till I could acturally run for real but I thought I was!

No, but where I grew up there were rattle snakes and black widow spiders, but I never saw either. I think the worst thing I encountered were skinks and raccoons. The really dangerous stuff stayed out of the way.

by Gods grace no.

yes i have when we were little we got off the bus and had a mother bear and two cubs meet us half way up the road to home and she charged ! we ran like the wind to the nieghbors house and we got a ride home . we were allways careful after that what a rush!!!

yes, we always see a snake hanging around in our nipa hut at the farm. everytime that we go there to take a look for our chickens and pig,,, we always see a snake... i felt scared the first time but now, i think i'm getting used to it already...

Yes, I have. Even though I have basically lived in the city most of my life, there have been occasions. I was in my backyard one time when I got the feeling something was behind me. I turned around and a coyote was walking up to me. It looked at me, and then kept walking. We had woods way behind our house so I guess it was just out for a jaunt. Of course, I also saw a fox, but it didn't bother me. When I was 4, I lifted a rock and underneath was a copperhead snake. My dad ripped me away so fast I hardly knew what was happening.

I live in a national forest we have all kinds of critters, snakes, alligators, bears, bob cats and more so yes i have seen lots, we had a 4 foot alligator in our yard one day, we had a baby bear eating out trash, tons of snakes which i am terrified of and more.

I've been in the entertainment industry and have been a master of ceremonies for many years. I once had to host a party at a resort at a totally out of the way place, near a wildlife sanctuary. The resort that I was due to visit had already sustained an attack by a herd of elephants in the past week and the levels of concern were obviously high. As I was heading to the resort in their closed jeep, the driver cut off the engine and brought the vehicle to a complete stop. When I looked at him quizzically, he just pointed his finger - at a leopard that was crossing the road, just about ten feet away. It was a magnificent specimen, and was appearing totally oblivious to our presence. My camera was tucked away in my bag and before I could fish it out, the animal had slunk away into the woods! That was an amazing experience.

I have had many close encounters with dangerous animals and the most dangerous animal is the Homosapien. I used to catch and sell rattlesnakes and even would "milk" them for their venom. There were a few close calls when I was active hunting then but the time that was the closest was when I was working on a farm "socking" the wheat". That is by putting up bundles of the straw left over from taking off the grain head into piles. One time I was picking up a "bundle and I put my arm under the bundle to lift it up and hen I did i came out with not one but two rattle snakes. I calmly caught them and put them in burlap bags to take to the hospital with me. (everybody else was running around like chickens with their heads cut off) Another close encounter was just last year when a 350 to 400 pound black bear wandered through our yard. I knew where it was headed so I took the car and the camera down to where I could hid until it got close. When it was abut 10 foot away I jumped out and took pictures of it but it was too dark and the flash did not go off so I did not get the picture to come out. As soon as it saw me it turned around and ran the other way.

There is a wild raccoon that visits our porch nightly. I started leaving food out for him. Sometimes we see him in the day time. It is like having a wild animal for a pet. Ha, ha.

nope i didnt and also dont want 2

The place that I camp at has alot of wildlife. I used to sit up late with my campfire and watch the animals. Sunks would be roaming from campsite to campsite, deer would be walking buy. I was watching this small red fox wandering around with a skunk. I thought it was the strangest thing. All of a sudden something brushed my leg. I looked down and out from between my feet waddled a very large and stinky skunk. I thought I was going to have a heart attack as my mind began to race. I just sat there very still and he continued on his way. ...phew

I have never had a deadly encounter with an animal as far as I am concerned, but have dug around for tennis balls in a copperhead's den and come into very close contact with snakes and spiders that are venomous. I am more afraid of most people than animals, to be honest. People are too sneaky.
