re: Strangest animal you've seen in the wild?

We have a couple of Florida Panthers (not the hockey team) resident here in Indian River County that I see every so often near the landfill. That cat back in EF Parish was a little bigger and a lot darker, but pretty much the same thing.

Raccoons are some weird mofos. If you've ever been on the stand and watched them eat/interact. They're like little people.
When we had a bunch of outside cats, the raccoons would come out from wherever and start eating the outside cat food. I would walk around the house to spy on them. Crazy how they eat with their hands. Then POP! Hit em with the pellet gun.

I saw a wild trashbag in a tree.
They must be rare because people including greenjeans were trying to trank it.

A guy had a bull get out of his pen not far from where I was hunting at my buddy's place.. Sitting in the stand and all of a sudden out of the woods comes that big bodacious bastard to the feed trough.
This past hunting season a guy who lives right close to our club had 10 jackasses get out of his pasture and raise all kinds of holy hell, the Tensas Parish Sheriff's Office managed to round up 9 of them and told all the surrounding clubs to shoot the last one on sight if we saw it, but he never came out by anyone to my knowledge

20 odd years ago I was driving to school and I was in NW Alabama by the TN river. A mountain lion crossed the road in front of me. I stopped and watched it head into the trees.
Was duck hunting probably 8-10yrs ago and had a mink run up right beside me and give me a good once over sniffing and studying me. I jerked and belief I may have given the poor thing a heart attack. If not, it definitely had a twitch after that experience.

If you'd have ever seen a mink caught in a trap you wouldn't have let him sniff you. I caught a mink in a trap once and I swear that 3lb mink could have whipped a 200lb man...nah, he could have whipped a 1000lb Grizzly bear's arse. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to be trapped in a small place with a fricking mink.

Florida panther- Northwest of Panama City. Found out he was probably one of the cats Fla DNR released to help increase the species survivability.
Saw a wild monkey on Hunting Island, near Fripp Island on the S. Carolina coast near Hilton Head. Supposedly there are many in the nearby area that were once part of an old research facility

I've been in the woods and on the water the majority of my life and have neve seen anything that I would consider as weird. I've had the shite scared out of me by normal animals quite a bit though. Like frog giggin on Clear lake and I paddled up beside this little aligator in the channel only to find out he wasn't so little and had a temper. I swear I had a rooster tail from the back of that pirouge. Or when I was squirrel hunting and jumped a boar that had to be in 400lb range with only #6 shells in my 20ga. I was maybe 20ft from him when he jumped up in the brush just off the trail in this oak flat and he was looking at me over the brush. He ran one way and I ran the other.

Weirdest - Porcupine in Idaho
Biggest shocker - 15 years ago. About 6 am driving south on Hwy 87 in Florida between I-10 and Navarre. A big-damn mature cougar hauls arse bounding across the road about 100 yards in front of me. I would've expected such a thing in New Mexico, but I was totally stunned to see one in the Florida panhandle like that. Immediately marked it on my little handheld GPS.

Similar looking to yours. I had a ring-tailed cat digging through my tent in Arizona. Not my picture:

Forgot about them. Weird critters, but their qivuit apparently makes some fantastic products. They also have some strange defensive techniques. Thanks for the reminder.
Sea otters are also a lot of fun to watch.

Damn Roger, I am disappointed. I knew for sure that you had seen a Yeti or a Mermaid.

Maybe one of those giant sturgeon I heard about on monster quest/river monsters. I cant remember which. They see them from the air in bush planes

Nah, Not since I quit drinking.
Dalls porpoise are pretty cool beasts. They look like mini orcas so it can freak you out of you don't know what they are. They play around the bow of your boat.
