What animals have you seen in the wild?

also elk and raccoon

Turkeys!

raccoon... damn.. I knew I was forgetting something

Raccoon, manicou, agouti, wild pig, feral dogs and cats, pine marten, hummingbirds, Sisserou parrot, Jackoe parrot, giant centipede, bats, geckoe, whale shark, ray, various tropical fish including parrot fish, angel fish, and frog fish. Sea-birds including albatross, tern and sand piper. Turkeys, a real live wild bald eagle, peregrine falcon, ospey, kingfisher, blue and grey herons, snowy owl, and barn owl. Others that don't occur to me right now.

Sea horses! Dolphins and whales--grey I think but maybe humpback.

Some of these I've seen because I was specifically looking for them. On our honeymoon, my wife and I were in a Canadian park (Banff/Jasper), we made several trips just to look for various animals. I even have some pictures of them. We saw bald eagles, a black bear, a pair of Moose, elk everywhere, and bighorn sheep.

wild turkeys!

i've lived in the country most of my life..so most of these are common place....

Raccoons come to our doorstep to eat cat food! We also have a lot of bald eagles where we live.

You're a north American arn't you? I've seen them all, and kangaroo, ostrich, lion, tiger, elephant, llama, snakes lots of snakes, etc etc etc etc.................................................michael

I've also seen bison, Dall sheep, lots of rodents (beavers, woodchucks, mice, rats, raccoons - yeah they're not officially rodents but you try cleaning up after they've gotten into the garbage, etc.), whales, birds, insects and reptiles.

Kangaroo, Koala, Wallaby, Wombat, Snake... our bush is a tad different to American woods ;)

I have actually seen wild house-cat sized cats. At Umass Amherst, there was (and may still be), a shack that a person could crawl under. If you did then you would see about a hundred cats without owners hanging around. I suspect they lived off the kindness of humans who would give them food but mostly by chasing mice in the nearby woods. Rumor has it that they are the offspring of house cats who have been abandoned by students. If you were *very* still and very patient, the cats might approach you.

Let's see..deer, bear, rabbit, duck, goose, porcupine, fox, wolf, squirrel, woodpecker, skunk, moose, salamander, frog, toad, tadpole on this list. Also saw several snakes in Hong Kong and wallabies in Australia.

I've seen a dead armadillo while on vacation, but no live ones.

I petted a toad in the woods just yesterday. :)

Been up close to a skunk when it was ready to spritz the family dog. Dunno how I got out of that one unscathed.
Also, for the long-legged bird category, I had a blue heron nearly land on me once when I was relaxing in the pool. Crap, those suckers are _big_.

I saw a dead opossum on the side of the road yesterday, does that count?

Prairie dogs.

Coons. Wild boars. Many bird species, the most interesting of which are flamingos, condors, parrots, hawks, and wild turkeys.

Raccoons too!

Wild horses, lots of marine life that wasn't listed at all, etc...

I won't make a list of all the animals I've seen; but I can mention beaver as on of them that wasn't on the list.

Pika, marmot, elk, lizard (non-iguana), raccoon... and now, having read other people's responses, many birds and fish, Dall sheep, goats, humpback whales, dolphins, sea turtles, various snakes.

also elk, buffalo, various snakes including rattlesnake, raccoon (of course), bighorn sheep, mice, rats, and something similar to a groundhog but I can't remember the name. Probably lots more I don't remember off the top of my head.

Marmot! That was it. Thanks, eris. Owls, bald eagles, and a dolphin too. Oh, and sea lions and elephant seals. Elephant seals are BIG.

Dolphin, right--I forgot about swimming with them in the wild. That
was pretty incredible.

Ooh! Something just reminded me. I forgot "sea otter"! It was a truly rapturous experience - I was wading in the Pacific in high wind and moderately heavy surf, and there it was just a few yards away, looking right at me!

Many of those listed as well as bald eagles, owls, rattlesnakes (and others), Orcas, sting rays, crabs, starfish, and other sea life, etc., etc., etc... Fun survey!

I am so glad you put armadillo!!!!!!! It was the most fascinating animal I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE WILD AND I WAS JUST WONDERING DID YOU PUT THIS OPTION FOR ME?

I put armadillo as an option because in ohio, most of the dead animals you see on the road are opossums... it was odd to me that when I went down south, the opossums were replaced by armadillos.

I never saw an armadillo till I went to Florida and I was very excited about it. Really no opossums?
