For all the nature lovers: What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever witnessed in the woods?

Nothing too out of the ordinary except for maybe one thing that comes to mind. A couple summers ago my ex boyfriend and I were driving by a field close to dusk and we stopped the truck to look at a cat and a deer just chilling out together. I swear to god. It was the neighbors cat, tail held high, with a deer several feet away. I wanted to get a picture but my old phone camera was terrible and it was too dark to catch anything on film but two blobs.

In my short lifetime as a Maine citizen I’ve seen a few bald eagles overhead while kayaking, I’ve seen a beaver going for a swim from above in a tree stand. Close to the Canadian border I’ve seen a couple black bears take off. I’ve seen deer take off countless times. A handful of years ago my mother and I saw a raccoon with her baby in her mouth standing on its hind leg in the middle of the road. Back in 2016 I think, I videotaped a porcupine walking through a field of clover as my dad and I drove by. I’m sure there’s many more animals that I’ve seen that I’m forgetting.

I was pretty chuffed to see emus when going on a country drive with my American partner. I think I was more excited than they were.

Going for a walk at dusk I stepped into the middle of a little group of sugar gliders, so I stayed while they leapt backwards and forwards in the trees above me

I once had a snake crawl across my lap in a park in Spain

A flying fox once landed on me. That was fun.

I have sung to echidnas 😆

One weird occurrence was these two foxes sort of doing this circular dance - coming within about 5 metres of me- but absolutely unperturbed by me
