Weird things you've seen in nature

A couple of years ago, I saw a snake hopping across the road. He would throw his front half up in the air and lunge forward. It took him about two seconds to get across. This was on 71 just before the junction with 190 near Krotz Springs.

I was traveling about 5 miles north of there one day. Something was causing turtles to cross the road from east to west. Thousands of them, and the road was covered with crushed turtles because they were impossible to avoid.

Obligatory "swoopeda"
Now that that's out the way, I swear I saw a ring-tail lemur cross Hwy 22 east of Ponchatoula in high school.

There's a crepe myrtle by my office growing within the tubular pole for a stop sign. The trunk runs up the entire length and it pops out at the top and a few of the holes.

Bubble net feeding by humpback whales. Amazing cooperative feeding technique.

I'll also say the Aurora. Local guy shot this last night. Aurora, in several colors and the Mendenhall Glacier in the background.
After all these years, it's still an amazing sight in the night sky. It's one of those things that's new and fresh every time you see it.

Boating down a side canal and see this large wake being pushed up in front of us. The closer we got the faster and larger the wake got. No body parts out of water. Ended up being a large gator (8-10') swimming with a 3-4 footer cross ways in his mouth. He was pushing such a huge wake we had all kinds of crazy ideas on what it could be. Felt bad though, he finally let go of the smaller gator and dove down to get away.

Saw two cottonmouths mating (or it might have been males fighting) right on the bank of a river while I was wade fishing. They were twisting around each other like a caduceus and rising up about 4 feet out of the water like that. It was freaking freaky. I took a video of it.
I've seen cottonmouths in that spot almost every time I've waded that river, too. Unfortunately, the best smallie hole is right past the cottonmouth area.

My kids and I were driving through a state park campground after swimming in a lake there. Probably midday. A great horned owl swooped out of the trees and landed in the road right in front of us. Just stood there for a bit then took off again.
I've spent a lot of time in nature and never seen one in the wild up close and on the ground. I tried to explain to my kids who freaking cool and rare it was to see that, but I don't think they were impressed, beyond just thinking they'd seen a cool owl.

Ha! You might be right but you now the south Tangi types tend to stick together.

An owl flew up from the side of the road with a small dog - carrying it by the collar. I think the dog had been run over by a car, but not sure.

Not seen but heard.
A few months back something woke my wife and I up. Sounded like a screeching monkey. Kinda drug on, reverberating through the woods. Was really haunting and disturbing to wake up to.
Only thing that is native to Alabama that even kind of sounds like that is the Barred Owl. But I'm in a area surrounded by ridges. They are normally only in flatlands. Thing is, this was more of a screech than a Barred owl's normal call.
Edit: Weirdest thing seen was probably when 3 turkeys flew out of the woods in front of my truck. I missed the last one by about 2 ft. Just barely went by my windshield.
