Have you ever had a close encounter with a dangerous wild animal?


I have regular nightmares about bears

I was about 2 metres (7 ft) away from a hammerhead shark, but it just minded it's own business.

I was about 20' from a Barracuda. The fellow was swimming around in a circle with other tropical fish, so I guess he wasn't hungry. But he turned his head towards me and flashed his needle-like teeth. I slowly swam away.

In Southern California came a little to close for comfort with a black widow spider.

Barracudas scare me more than sharks. I was apparently close to one on a dive, but since I didn't see it, it doesn't count. Glad you came out of it okay.

reply

Just an angry badger. I've got a reoccurring one about being Polar Bears chasing me on the streets. Had it for years.

reply

Badgers are fearless. They will take on something much larger without hesitation. You got to respect them for that. They are like the Joe Pesci of the animal kingdom.

I had a dream about a polar bear, but he was offering me a Coke and an Eskimo Pie.

reply

Yep Badgers are hard bastards, I ran away from it. The Coca-Cola polar bear is a decent bloke though 😄

What I really don’t like dealing with are bees, wasps and hornets.

I nearly put my hand on a black scorpion when I was on holiday in the South of France once.
