Me and my friends were cat fishing one morning and we see something floating down the river. Like teenage boys we start going “what the f*ck is that?” It looked odd and was traveling faster than the current of the river. I pick up a rock and throw it at it and it immediately changes directions towards us and starts going faster. A beaver head pops out of the water and is staring at us. It gains speeds and edges near us, it definitely wasn’t afraid of us which freaked us out so we got the f*ck out of there.

I was hiking and an emu stepped out of a bush put its wings in the air, started making this screaming sound and ran at full speed at me it then stopped a couple of meters away and darted off the track never to be seen again

When I was a kid I opened my window during one of those drive-thru safaris and an ostrich pecked me in the head
