    that arizona life man. I can't even walk my dog without stepping on a damn rattlesnake

    have you guys ever had any intense interactions with wildlife?
     
    lol my school pulled the fire alarm once because they thought the Chem Lab was on fire when it turns out they were just poppin' some popcorn

    Cute! We once had a baby alligator find it's way into our yard. It stayed there for about 3 hours until wildlife control came to relocate it back to a local lake. I wish I could find the pics of it :[
     
    One time we had a cobra at my campus.

    Yeah.
     
    One time a bear was rummaging through our compost ;_;
     
    Nothing intense, but one time I saw a capybara sitting in the tall grass near the river. Which weirded me out since they're South American animals.

    Later it came in the news. Apparently three of them escaped from a facility where thy're being bred. I didn't even know they bred capybaras anywhere.
     
    I live in a city, so the most exotic animals I see are pigeons.

    I wish I could see a bear live! They're some of my favorite animals. I wouldn't want to be too close or anything though :P
     
    I see alligators all over. In our back yards to in parking lots. Wildlife is awesome. Just gotta live together in harmony lol
     
    We once had a campus alert that there had just been an armed robbery, with the suspect on the loose running towards the president's house. I saw 7 squad cars from the county police go flying down the road (fastest I've seen them respond to anything in my life lol) and, being kind of stupid, I wandered over to see what the fuss was. I saw all our campus police in their golf carts plus the 7 squad cars from the county. Then less than twenty minutes later we all got a second alert saying it was a false alarm. Idk how you can confuse an armed robbery so who knows what was going on there haha. My animal story was someone saw my white husky and started reporting a large, albino coyote with rabies on the loose (she was super timid, she'd never approached that particular individual in her life so I know that whole story was bs).
     
    I actually really haven't had any such encounters. I'm not really an outdoorsy type, and I've only ever seen dangerous wildlife at a distance (bears down in a river valley in Alaska while hiking and moose in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness) or while it was busy swimming (moose in the aforementioned BWCA in Minnesota). Even coyotes and deer are rare sights for me even though I know damn well they're both common where I live. Closest thing was trying to get a fox to stop freaking out and making its alarm bark noise at someone's pet cat who was rolling on the ground not caring about the fox by removing the cat from the vicinity of the fox.
     
    There was one time, I was maybe 11, and my dad almost got bit by a scorpion. The thing just came out of nowhere, zooming towards my dad's foot, but I screamed "SCORPION!" and he turned around and smacked it. How it got indoors, who knows.
     
    Just remember, when a wild bear attacks, weaken it first and put it to sleep or paralyse it before you start throwing your balls at it

    Living in a City on the coat, the worst I have to deal with are seagulls; vicious little buggers they are, and I swear they're getting bigger. I hate seagulls.
     
    Surprisingly enough, no! Despite what my location tells you, I'm not fighting a kangaroo-sized red back platypus. To answer your question though, no. Suburban life is rather safe here. Most dangerous thing here is your neighbour's annoying dog.

    You mean you haven't encountered legions of snakes in your suburb? o.O
    I figured that was pretty standard all over the country.
     
    My college campus was in a forest so there were always deer and squirrels (and sometimes furry brown spiders the size of a child's fist). But the closest, worst encounter I had was one night when I was walking back to my dorm past some construction and I heard this unearthly howl like a cat on PCP who was also possessed by the devil. It got louder and closer and so I ran back until I was in a more well-lit area. I saw what it was later. A raccoon. Those guys are scary aggressive.
