coolest animal you have seen in the wild

Bald eagle high up in a tree in my back yard - took a picture of that one!
Black bear cub up in a different tree in my back yard - got a picture of that too!

Do the wild animals on the african safari ride at Disney's animal kingdom, along with those in the center area of the hotel count?

 

Here are a few from when I spent a couple weeks in a rain forest in Ecuador.

Had a 6 foot nurse shark swim under my kayak in 3 feet of water once on the East side of Catalina Island.

 

Im an avid archery hunter, so I have seen all sorts of animals (deer, elk, coyotes,wolfs,moose, mtn lion) I've also hunted africa and seen some really cool animals and reptiles. But above all the coolest animal I have seen was a Albino Bull Elk. Totally wild, not in a farm. Could tell he was a younger bull, but totally awesome to see. He was a lone albino, with a group of normal looking cows. This was in Utah, at a secret spot

Another really cool thing I've seen was out bass fishing on my float pontoon. A Giant hawk/eagle of some kind. It was so fast I couldn't ID it but he swooped down and grabbed a decent sized bass about 200ft from me. This was here in St.George utah at Sand Hollow reservoir. I was amazed, but slightly pissed how a bird gets a big catch in a heartbeat but id been fishing for hours without a bite!

 

ground hog

 

What were you fishing for (if you were out fishing)? Calicos? White sea bass?

 

Whoa... That's sick! I would have left some chum behind if that were me!

Awesome video!

 

That spear gun isnt gonna do shit. Get the fucks out of the water!

 

On the golf course I've seen foxes in NY and a bobcat in FL

Bald Eagles have returned to NY after many years and there are a dozen that live near the lake by my house

A breeding pair of Peregrine Flacons live on the top of one of the buildings in the city... I've seen one

A pod of dolphins on my honeymoon

 

not really coolest

but caught a turkey fight in front of my tacoma today

 

That's what the shark WANTS him to do.

Ask like shark food and become shark food.

Maintain defenses, but act as if you are still at the top of the food chain.
SLOWLY descend to the bottom (shark's vision is not good at picking out a target against the darker floor), and cautiously move away.

 

Back in 1999 I was offshore fishing in my boat 15 miles out of Jacksonville and we saw a Right whale and her baby. I just wish I had a camera that day. Awesome sight!
