Wildlife Encounters.., Have you had any? Options

[swizz]

Not really "wildlife"... just Honey Boo Boo feeding the Horses some carrots from the back yard and I thought it made for a couple of good pics.

my last wildlife encounter was last year on the Arkansa river with Leonard, and the CCC boys!it lasted for two weeks!AHHHHHHH! it was great! no pictures to protect the innocent/guilty!

This one could have gone in the "What Were They Thinking?" thread too...
These pics are from my ex girlfriend on the other side of town.
The story: Two cubs trapped themselves in the dumpster and were making a lot of noise crying for mom. Jane called DOW but they never responded so she got the neighbor to bravely sneak over to the dumpster and open the door so they could get out. Meanwhile... mama Bear (a relatively small one) was off to the side and being distracted by some idiot's loose dog.... who's lucky to be alive. She's poised to charge in that photo, the dog would not stand a chance. All in all the story had a happy ending with the mama and cubs sauntering away for another misadventure. If ya look close in the first pic you can see one of the cubs poking it's head out of the dumpster. The other cub is walking away. Hey - good for them, they're gonna need all the help they can get this winter with the bad summer we just had.

Very cool pics Chris! I almost thought that was a mountain lion with the bear.

Here is a picture of a buck we drove up on. He was so into looking at the lovely ladies that he didn't hear us drive up.....untill I rolled my window down. Made the hair stand up on his rump.




This was on of the little ladies he was watching. Note how she is sticking her tongue out at me.

Here is a video of a cool bird hunting. It looks like it uses it's wings to make shadows causing the bugs to move so it can see them?

I went prospecting with sunspirit today and had a fun time (we got some yeller too!).

While I was waiting for sunpirit this morning I had this young Moose wander up fairly close, then scamper up the hill and graze for a while.

Timmy thought it was a four eared bunny but after looking at it closer, it seems it's left ear is torn into three parts....Ouch!
Seems to be ok but sure looks strange. We nick named it Clover.

Timmy saw it again and said "didn't you and dad use to take care of wounded wildlife, fix them and release them? Maybe we counld bring it in and help it".

I told him " the cat would pretend to be the nurse, take one look at it and decide it needs to be put out of it's missery...and quick!".
Looks like the ear has been like that for a long time, what am I suppose to do, catch it and sew its ear back together?

Not!

[Denise]

Here is another picture of a few more bunnies.........but wait. ....Something just doesn't look right.

Can anyone else see what I am seeing? (not counting all the bunny poop on the ground)





I think it makes it look extra cute.

[Denise]

Ok....Here is a closer look at "floppy". I think he's adorable with his floppy ear.



So when do I stop considering these bunnies wildlife?

Guess by no responses, I passed that point several pages back. You are a tough crowd!
