Trail Animals

Stihldog · Jan 31, 2022

Since we ride in different areas we must occasionally run across some sort of wildlife. Getting that camera out fast enough or riding away for your life can be an experience. Whether it’s a trail dog, Elk, insect, etc… or a footprint made by Sasquatch, post that pic.

Friendly ponies

Unfriendly cows

WTF?

Tonybro · Jan 31, 2022

I love the last one, Jackware! "Come and 'ave a go if you fink you're 'ard enough!"

I've come across all sorts of things (from a UK perspective - no wolves, no bears!). Deer, buzzards, kestrels, pheasants, grouse, grass snakes, horses, alpacas, cows (and bulls!), hares, rabbits, goats, turkeys, geese, ducks, etc.

Granted not much there that's overtly dangerous but two tonnes of bull would be difficult to walk away from...

It was during a survival course in uk forest that i discovered that there are no predators for humans in uk…

Hey, we have a venomous snake, the Adder! Still unlikely to kill you though...

Wolves have been re-introduced to a small enclosed parcel of land in the Highlands of Scotland I believe...

None that aren’t other humans (or various almost mythical big cats such as the ‘Beast of Bodmin Moor’)

Gee gee's. The national trust ship them in as cheap lawnmowers up on the local beauty spot. The one in the hat isn't a horse, that's the apple of my eye & chief drain on my bank account..

Come on, dad. The poor girl needs a horse!

Our big animals are coyotes, bobcats, and deer. The biggest are mountain lions and bears. Here are a few pics of the little ones.

Rattler

Nevermore

Venomous European Invader (both the flower AND the bee)

That toad is adorable!
I guess being horny toads, there's plenty of them?

Wreck · Feb 1, 2022

Quite often bump into these fellas out on the trails in the Isle of Man. A couple escaped from a wildlife park years ago and have been very successful at breeding... Little buggers are getting everywhere!

That’s a huge rabbit

Brett #174 · Feb 2, 2022

Almost ran into this guy on my way down a popular trail here in Tasmania. Usually see the odd wallaby or pademelon, but this was my first time seeing an echidna!

Mabman · Feb 2, 2022

Flushed up a partridge today, haven't seen many of them before. Mostly Elk and deer.

Nice! If you run into the other kind of monotreme, you've probably screwed up.

Don't be silly.
Look at its ears.
It's obviously a hare.

Deer, turkey, eagle, osprey, lynx, vulture (look alive), and the big one, Mr Gator! I may have seen a Florida Panther but it was far away and moved fast. So did I. I ride mostly in a preserve, there are also wild hogs and coyote but we don't see them much.

I'm feeling hard by. I live in Hamburg and I got really excited last year when I spotted a slow worm on the path.

Come on now……..please say you were at the zoo

RustyMTB · Feb 3, 2022

I'd have reservations about riding in places where not only is the bike, the trails & the lack of skill trying to kill you but also the wildlife.

We have slow worms too. Alway basking in the sunshine in the middle of the trail. I tend to hop over them. I know my front wheel clears them, hope the rear wheel does too!

I love keas! Beautiful animals. The only member of the parrot family that eats meat (I think). Highly intelligent and curious. Very bad to park near (cars or bikes, I should think)
