I almost got jumped by a pack of Raccoons once. I was like, "yo, it's cool guys. Take the trash...i don't want any problems".
Uhmmm...i've seen mostly your basic stuff. Rattle Snakes (cooked one) and Dolphins. Uhh...saw a deer once at 5th grade camp. Red tailed Hawk.

Probably the most unusual one was a moose in Flagstaff. Right in town too!
Oh and getting to see a bald eagle flying along the Colorado river at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was so beyond cool! Too bad we didn't have a camera (before cell phones). |

Strangest wild animal sighting I've had was an otter. It was swimming in a small body of water just outside my apartment complex.
I thought that was so bizarre. I told everyone I knew (no one gave a shit). |

Alligator or crocodile more than 8 feet long – Our resort in Mexico had lots of crocodiles. There was a lagoon across the road (outside the resort fence) that was visible from the balcony by the stairs. It had some MASSIVE crocodiles.
American bison – Wichita Mountains state park in Oklahoma has a herd of bison that roam the park. Bear (black) – I’ve seen these many times in New Mexico and we saw one in Canada. Beaver – A frequent site when fly fishing. Bighorrn sheep – We saw them far off on an opposite slope while hiking Wheeler Peak in New Mexico. Black widow spider – These are all over the place in Texas. I can probably go outside and find one within 5 minutes. Their hiding spots are very easy to find. They build their webs in upside down corners. Bobcat (the animal, not the backhoe) – I’ve seen them a couple of times in the early morning while driving to work. Brown recluse spider – Who hasn’t seen one of these? They are a common household pest. Coyote – These are a common site early in the morning as well. Eagle (Any type) – I saw a ton of Bald Eagles on Vancouver Island. Also, we saw one in the road eating a roadkill turtle in Salem, MO. Elk – I’ve seen them crossing the road in New Mexico. Otter – We saw sea otters floating on their backs and eating urchins on a whale watching tour in Canada. Pronghorn – I’ve seen many in the prairies immediately east of the Rocky Mountains. Rattlesnake – We have lots of Massasauga in my area. Scorpion – I’ve found them while camping. Tarantula – Here in North Texas, they are common in the spring and early summer. They are easy to see just wandering across the yard. Water moccasin/cottonmouth or copperhead – Cottonmouths are a common sight when fishing. Whale (any species other than orca) – We saw gray whales on a whale watching tour in Canada. Last edited by loochy; 07-10-2018 at 11:09 AM.. |

BTW, if you say yes to bearded lizard you are most likely full of shit. They are native to AUSTRALIA.

My only beaver sighting was in the middle of Denver. It was industriously preparing to build a dam that would have flooded a rather expensive part of town. I think it probably got relocated or shot pretty quickly.

I saw all the following while I was at work: Coyote, porcupine, bobcat, snake>10ft, badger.
Our plant is ~5 miles outside the city. The badger dug a burrow ~3 ft outside an office window and had a litter. The guy whose office window looked out on it had more visitors than the previous 10 years combined.

Seriously, if you discount things seen from my house, car or in a zoo, it's nothing. Squirrels, skunks, chipmunks, raccoons, and a bunch of unexciting birds.
Only interesting thing is a red tailed hawk. One sat on the peak of my roof one day a few summers ago. Big MoFo. Oh, and some eagles during a kayaking thing I did in Maine. Other than that, pretty much zip. Boston and its environs has been civilized for too long. We had alot of excitement up here a few years ago when a bear swam across the Cape Cod canal and was wandering around down there. Reportedly the first bear on the Cape since 1837. https://blog.mass.gov/greatoutdoors/...pe-black-bear/

I'm shocked at the number of porcupine sightings. I saw one several years back at a very remote state park, and I was agog. It was huge. I figured porcupine sightings were rare.
Oh, dang. I marked it, but I was in a car at the time. I can't count it.
