I havent seen dolphins since 2016. Im soo happyHave you ever had that animal encounter, that felt like something magical?
>>2798648Thats coolwish i didnt live in the midwest :(
sailed through the middle of a pilot whale super pod of the west coast of Africa. must have been several hundred of them, if not thousands.
I made a comment about how the last overlook I went to had no birds at all and then a few hours later I walked to the edge of a river and there were tons of birds circling overhead, despite it being freezing cold, was nice.
>>2798648I used to see dolphins at least once a week when I worked on tug boats. They're actually psychopath rapists just fyi.
>>2798661Always near the water
>>2798667ahhh he smiling ;)
>>2798648Yeah, 2 years ago, hung out with a pod of orcas for about an hour.Also met a wolverine in the wild, well, not really that close of an encounter, we stared at each other from ~500 meters or so.Had a moose pass me at 10 meters when hunting this fall, my first moose hunt, felt pretty special as well, was a young cow which we didn't have on our tag.
i was canoeing with my dad and we found a small island, literally one tree on it, and in that tree either a ravens nest or eagle.
>>2798648i was on a two day canoe trip with my friend and there was a loon that followed us almost the whole way the first dayloons are uncommon here so it was unusual and i have seen maybe two in the following decadewe didn't bring a tent because of the portages so when a huge windy storm came in we slept halfway under a tarp and halfway under buggy pine boughs with a fire in our shelter (that was stupid)the next morning we set out and those red loon eyes were looking right at us and he followed us on the way back
I had a black bear stalking me for about 5 hours one night. I was just sitting at camp and it kept wandering around and circling and I would make noise and flash my lights and pile more wood on the fire, and eventually by like 2am it started just coming right at me so I noped right the fuck out in the middle of the night not even knowing if it was following me or not. That was pretty magical
saw a breaching humpback whale a few days ago, it was 3 miles away but I was walking my dog on a high hill by the sea and could see it well, the thing was fucking massive, initially I thought it was a big sailing boat that was flipping on it back like some horrible accidentI doubt I will ever see a whale again before I die, they're insanely rare where I am
>>2798853>That was pretty magicalyou wouldnt be saying that if it ate you alive
>>2799051True. It probably would have been vindictive and shat me out on my dad's doorstep, too :[
