Thread about the craziest animal encounters you've had around here.[views:5813][posts:34]____________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 2:42am - Sacreligion ""] I'm trying to go to bed but keep remembering weird things i've encountered around here(central MA) so I thought I'd make a thread and see what everyone else has seen. Black Rat Snake [img] Saw this once when I was like 11 near the stream at the bottom of my street. When I first saw it I was convinced it was a water moccasin but did some research and found out those really don't happen around here. I only saw it's midsection since it was slithering away as I came by...my uncle also saw the same one so I know I'm not crazy. These things are HUGE! The one I saw was at least 5-6 ft. Copperhead [img] Saw this at the bottom of my street again waiting for the bus one morning...it was coiled up on a bunch of leaves...although I may have mistaken it's identity since it scared the shit out of me...could've been an eastern milk snake: [img] Massive Spider This one I couldn't figure out...it was in my front yard when I was mowing the lawn...it was at least the size of my hand. It had an egg sac on it and in my young age felt I didn't want 1000 more of those in my yard so I proceeded to run it over with said lawnmower. It might've been a huge wolf spider which are common around here, but have yet to pinpoint it's identity. Anybody else with creepy things they've seen in their lifetimes? |

| ________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 2:54am - Phillip ""] if I ever saw that spider I would shit my fucking pants |

| _________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 3:05am - powerkok ""] I once encountered the, not so elusive, yet slippery Masshole. This one looked like a regular Masshole, but possibly was crossbred with a puerto rican, and or Brazilian. [img] |
| _________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 3:05am - powerkok ""] Notice the retarded face, and cheap silver bling. A natural masshole marking. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 3:06am - Y_Ddraig_Goch ""] Oh man now I know what that anomolous snake was at the post 507 when I went snake hunting with my friends. We were convinced it was a demon because it was so big and no snake that big lived in Lynn. |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 3:09am - Y_Ddraig_Goch ""] my crazy encounter: Biking around on amherst street across from the Nashua tech school and all of a sudden a massive beast gallops across one of the side streets. so what do we do...chase it. It was a moose and man until you see one in person you don't have much of an idea of how big and creepy looking these things are.. looked like a long legged alien beast. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 3:11am - powerkok ""] Seriously tho....up here in NH.... I lived in downtown Concord at the time....(now I live in the slums that are the Concord Heights) about 2 am I hear a car going real slow, so I look outside, and there is a fucking Moose walking down Pleasant st. (Pretty busy road for Concord.) It was a young moose, but was still bigger than a horse. Another time, I saw a bear cross rt 125 in Lee, nh. A bat in my house in concord. A rabid bat in my yard in Boscawen ( I shot him in the head with a silenced .22) An Opossum in Boscawen that I tried run over, but he ducked....(no lie, it was strange) numerous Raccoons the other night were crossing the street in Epsom. Many more little creatures Im sure. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 3:44am - Sacreligion ""] you're confusing massholes for immigrants i've never seen a moose before, a few bats and such but i considered that normal...i did see a giant possum dead on the side of rt. 146 in sutton before(i've only seen one live one)...it was a fuckin ROUS i tell you what [img] |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 7:15am - TheGreatSpaldino ""] a saw a spider about the size of my palm run across the floor by me. two bats in my house... um... and a couple snakes. |

| _________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 6:25pm - powerkok ""] One time, I was traversing the Cangamangus with Ric Flair and Hacksaw Jim Duggan, well...long story short.....Ric spots this triceratops, atop a huge mountain, Duggan threw his 2x4 at it, hit it in the head, and it rolls down, at my feet, Flair screams WOOOOO and guts it with a WCW microphone, and we all laughed. Later that night, we drank grain alcohol, and cut down trees to make giant toothpicks. Flair started getting testy, because his 'juice' was in the car, so we headed out early, but it was quite the day. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 9,2006 6:31pm - Sacreligion ""] travelling the ugandan jungle with kamala was one of my greatest experiences...he killed a bull elephant with his bare hands, then turned it into jerky with a big splash he proceeded to slap his belly with authority |

| ________________________________ [Aug 12,2006 11:32am - slut ""] I was greeted by a mangy coyote on my front landing this past spring. Apparently he's often seen roaming Brewer's Corner (West Quincy) trying to score when he's 'hungry.' |
