Wild animal encounters?

I was fishing in a home-made cypress boat in a swamp, concentrating on my fishing line when a bobcat let out a scream about 20 feet away from me. I nearly jumped out of the boat. It was sitting on a stump, staring at me. Then it just trotted away, content that it had scared the heck of a teenage human.

The only thing really coming to mind is me chasing goats on the foot of a mountain

Sooo many bears, alligators, venomous snakes, foxes, bob cats

Encounter with bear, racoons, coyote, deer, snake.
