This sure feels differently than starying at a lazy, overweight and unhappy bear in bad shape in a zoo, parted from him by security glass. So as we were walking back through Hoh Rainforest, we suddenly faced a frickin' real bear. "Bang pans and pots" is what the warning at the ranger station says. Well, since we lacked both, I did the second best thing that came to my mind: Take out the camera and shoot photos. No one kills the camera man, right? Right?
So what was the closest you ever came face to face with a considerable wild animal in their real habitat?

There have been plenty of times where I've been walking in the woods and found myself a few steps away from a snake. Once it was a huge rattle snake. I watched it, but then moved it along the path with a stick so I could continue. The most recent time was a 5ft long black rat snake. They're non-venomous, and the snake lover in me desperately wanted to hold it xD Then a few feet down the path was a baby one! I bet seeing that bear was amazing :o
My wildest enounter in the wild could be a Jaguarundi (a jungle cat from tropical america), a few rattle snakes, macaws, plenty of aligators but the craziest one was probably in Costa Rica, where I sat on a log and waited for a few minutes for the rest of the group we were exploring the jungle and when I got I realized I had been sitting all that time a few inches from a "terciopelo" snake, it didnt move at all it only left once we were leaving as well
nice.. ive came pretty close to my share of animals.. i live on the edge of bear country roughly 30 miles from the city.. we actually have a couple bears living outhere that pass through the yard sometimes... almost hit one twice once with a car and on a motorcycle.. also was given a run by a moose while on a quad once too..
the coyotes dont really fear people out her either.. yet to see a wolf but i hear them and neighbors have encountered them..
