i was swimming with friends one night and when we were walking back a m-fin screech owl went off like a howling old witch and my friend dave picked up a rock. i'd say that it was embarrassing (it was), but more than one person was standing on one foot, hands clawed like there were mice just fucking everywhere all over the floor. fukkin love owls

Oh, I don't know about the eyes. Huh. Weird thing about that was that I didn't realize there were two of them until I saw the second pair of eyes. Totally thought it was one lonely guy just thinkin' bout things.

raccoons are disgusting h8 those gross dudes creeping around all hunchbacked making weird nosies, cats r way too big to be eaten by a fox

Yeah foxes are surprisingly short guys. I've seen cats take on large dogs and send the dogs yelping.

cats r pound for pund quite devastating, prob only weasels are badder ass

You wanna talk weird noises, the scream of a vixen is one of nature's most unnerving

squirrels round my way so fuckin' cheeky, you can walk past within literal grabbing distance and they just give you the eye, idk i feel they should be more afeared of their human overlords.

also urban foxes, generally nocturnal but i've seen a couple strolling down the street at 9am, broad daylight, no fear.

oh our possums may look cute but by god they make devil sounds, a guttural growling hiss, it's freaky.

i have monkeys in the park behind my office. just discovered this 2 days ago when i went there for a walk at lunchtime. also, i support the sentiment up thread that monkeys are assholes. i think i've already vented against them somewhere on ilx.
