For sure. Like I said great story. I saw two while fishing in the mangroves of the Yucatan. Awesome to see in person.

We had a family of skunks in our warehouse last year. That was pretty interesting. Also, we caught 32 mice in one day on glue traps. Let's just say the warehouse has since been cleaned and organized.

Forgot about this one. About 10 years ago part of our business was importing and buying reptiles and selling them to pet stores. We had everything u could imagine.
One day some workers from one of the warehouses about 500 yards away from that building came into my office with eyes as big as saucers. He said I had to come to that warehouse. So I walked up there and all the workers were hootin and hollering outside...they refused to go in. Well, about 5 red tail boas got loose and found their way in that warm warehouse and scared the crap out of them. It was awesome. They thought they were poisonous.

frick that. Story number two for me.
During the spring we usually have to hire temporary help because we get very busy. This one dude named Lionel was hired and been working in the warehouse for about a week. He comes running into the office one morning screaming "Mr Michael, da biggest rat I evah saw is dat garbage
can".
I walk out to the back of the warehouse and there is one of the nastiest looking possums I have ever seen. Put on some gloves and grabbed a stick to distract his/her's mouth and grab it by the tail. Walk to the front of the warehouse, cross the levee and deposit that nasty fricker in the woods. Ten minutes later... Rinse and repeat. Lionel comes running in again and a second possum was buried under the trash in the same can. For three days straight he had put his lunch scraps in the trash can and the possums got in the warehouse some way.
I still laugh thinking about that one. His facial ecpression was of utter fear.

Couple more....after Hurricane Andrew one of our buildings got damaged and we had about 300 iguanas escape. Neighbors were calling for days cause they ended up in their trees.
One day my boss was driving down the road and there was a dude selling iguanas on side of the street. Wonder where he got them from.

So one morning the reptile manager and I went in early to bag a really big order for a store. We had to bag 100 green basilisks...wild caught. Them suckers were mean. I was wearing welders gloves and still could feel their bites. Reptile manager was a tough dude from W Virginia. So he decided he didn't need gloves. After bagging a few, this basilisk latched on to his thumb and would not let go. Dude started crying. Tough grown man was crying cause he couldn't get it off. I was crying too cause I was laughing so hard.
So a couple days later he tells me that he got some cool red eye tree frogs in. Told me to take a look at them in this cabinet that has wooden double doors in the front. I opened the doors and that sum bitch put Cook's tree boas in it instead. Not 1 second after I opened the door one struck at me and nipped the tip of my nose. Scared the absolute poo poo outta me. Reptile manager was laughing his butt off. Payback is a biatch.

Barely wildlife, but also while working in Goulburn, Australia I stayed a a small hotel near the client's business. It was a small town so the hotel was a ghost town. I got to my room and settled in. After a couple of trips outside to smoke, I decided to hit the sack. I closed the door and locked it. Noticed some type of bean bag thing on the floor, but had no idea what to do with it. Went to sleep and woke up the next morning to a surprise. The ceiling of the hotel room was covered in bugs. Something about the size of a june bug. I managed to get ready pretty quick and head outside. As I walked out, I started hearing crunching. Looked down and there were thousands of dead bugs on the ground. They moved my stuff to a new room and instructed me how to use the bean bag strip under the door to keep the bugs out.

I worked at a bank while I was in school and we had a cow run through the drive thru being chased by cowboys once. We also had a huge python slither up one time and I saw two little old ladies doing figure 8's running over it in their cars.

Call I got on the computer at work. We get in trouble for goofing off on the the radio so I replied back on the computer:
Driving up to the edge of a state park that borders dense residential/light commercial area:
Same area with the wind right and the ground damp and quite. Got to within about 15 yards on foot:
Then the damn radio squelched:
This mean bastard met me at the end of driveway coming home from work:

A few years ago I was working in Shreveport for a trans. company shipping those big wind turbines that are going up. I remember on several diff. occasions where snakes and coons would come hauling arse out of them when we would start moving them. Another one, One morning I left the little railyard where we was loading the sections on railcars and a possum was in the intersection that had been runover. When I came back I saw a huge Red Tail hawk standing over the possum. As I get closer he is still standing over the possum not moving. I finally got close enough that I couldn`t see the hawk over the hood. I get out and walk to the front of the truck and he just stands there not moving. Well against better judgement I walk up to him and he still just stands there. I reach down to touch him expecting him to go ape shite and nothing. I go back to my truck and get some welding gloves on and I picked it up and set in back of the truck and turn in the railyard to show the guys. To finish the story, He had been hit by car I guess since he was bleeding out of his left eye. We took it to the local vet and the whole time we are in the truck going to vet I just hold him while my buddy drives and he never freaked. I had my carhartt jacket covering my legs in case he wanted to go batshit crazy.

Nobody here works at BASF?
They have some of the largest deer in the state roaming their complex. I've seen pictures, but I've also been told that taking pictures is a big "no-no."
Very large bucks (130 class and up) hanging around by the road.
