I watched an anole lizard walk right under the tire of a slow moving car and die. I was probably around 7 or 8 at the time.

I was smoking a bong in the woods by myself one beautiful fall afternoon when i heard a noise and looked up. All around me was a family of about 8-10 deer of various ages, with the buck a good 20 feet away from me. We made eye contact, i kinda nodded and hit the bong again (i was scared ok!) and the buck thankfully put his head back down and kept eating. They passed by like i wasn’t there and it was always mind boggling considering how skittish deer can be.

Once in Central Park whilst inebriated on something that has three letters. Found a stone overpass and went to the bottom where there was some trees so i could take a piss. I’m peeing when all of a sudden i hear something moving behind me. I turn around and see three raccoons staring at me, not 5 feet away. I started threatening them to not come any closer or i was gonna pee on them. They understood and backed off.

When I was a kid, my older brother and I came across a seagull. It was soaking wet and didn’t seem to be concerned about it’s surroundings. There were kids all piled around it, teasing it and poking at it. Anyway, my dad is weird when it comes to animals and loves taking them in. So my brother wrapped the seagull in a towel and we carried it back to our house… Well, Dad was chuffed, and he sits with us telling us all about Seagulls. We put it in front of the fire, still wrapped in a towel, and it sat there content while my ma phoned someone to come and pick it up. We’re all sitting waiting for this animal control guy to come and pick up this Seagull, and then out of nowhere, the seagull is suddenly not as injured as we previously thought and it takes flight; flying around the room knocking ornaments off shelves, and pictures off the walls. Mum opened the back door and, after flying around aimlessly into things for a few minutes, it found the door and got out…
