Animals seen during my bike ride today
Quote | Reply
Some llamas, some ostriches ... and all in northern Bavaria (Roth region) in not more than five meters distance (not in a zoo!)

What did you see today?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.

On a mountain bike ride a week ago, I saw a giant piece of poop walking across the trail. I believe there were insects carrying their treasure to safety. Wish I had stopped to film it. It was disgusting and intriguing at the same time.

Depending on which direction I ride I can see,

Horses, cows, pigs, chickens, lamas, a wallaby, deer, foxes, coyotes, prairie dogs, marmots, sheep, mountain sheep, moose, elk, snakes, turkeys and lots of birds. There are sightings of mountain lions, bears and bobcats but I have yet to see them.




I also see the most dangerous animal around, the common white female with an unleashed dog. Approach with caution or they will attack. ;)

The female or the dog ...?

Did see IIamas on a local farm as well as the usual cows, horses, sheep, etc. For big wild stuff, have seen deer, bears, coyotes, wolves and once had a moose run between our bike group. Also porcupines, skunks, foxes, etc. Dogs and cats. Saw a lynx once, probably the only one I'll ever see in my life since they're nocturnal. I'm in Ontario burt my daughter lives in B.C. One time she was mountain biking and a mountain lion crossed the trail in front of her. She also saw killer whales swimming along the shore on Vancouver Island when riding.

You see some really cool stuff on the bike. I guess, moving slower than car travel, the senses collect more. I love it. Saw an alligator two Saturdays ago.

On my run this morning I saw a Doe with a Fawn and a mature black bear that looked to be around 3' high and 350 lbs. or so. The bear was in the middle of the road just chilling, I clapped my hands and he ran up into the woods.

Today: two moose — a mother galloping across a field, with a calf trying to keep up. Also, maybe 15 elk, but they were just lounging around.

A bass, a dead bluegill, two loons (mother and chick) and a great blue heron (I was kayaking, not riding).

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?
