Whenever I ride near water, I seem to see foxes. I've ridden right into the middle of herds of deer. Seen raccoons scampering across the road. A friend of mine screamed and pulled his legs up over his handlebars as he rode over a bull snake. That was funny to watch/awful to see.

This morning, for the first time, I actually SAW one of the skunks I've been smelling most summer nights for the past few years. Oddly, I didn't smell it until I was about 3 blocks past it.
