Wild animals

[A.K.L.]

What wild animals have you seen in the wild (not a zoo)?

I have seen foxes, squirrels, mice, moles, and hedgehogs. And a polecat. Once a chipmunk jumped down on our car and began checking out if there was anything interesting inside.  We had been looking at each other for a few seconds.

a moose (many years ago in a forest not far from Moscow), a hare, a hedgehog (my dad used to bring me one every summer when we were renting a summer house - they always managed to escape within a week!) Of course, squirrels!

otherwise:
a wombat, a kangaroo, a koala, a echidna, a tasmanian devil, an emu (can emus be classified as animals?), a platypus, many-many different - the big and the small - lizards, a fox (usually crossing the busiest road it can find ), a whale, a dolphin, a camel, a dingo, etc, etc.... And snakes.

Asil, that's great!!! Is it easy to meet wild animals in Australia?

[polinomus]

a wolf, a hare, an European bison a wild boar, an elk, a deer, a fox, a mole,  a raccoon etc.
Meeting with family of European bison was most memorable.

You certainly don't see kangaroos hopping in the Sydney's CBD But admittedly, even then, there are a lot more chances to see a kangaroo next to the Opera House than a bear in the Red Square. I hope you know what I mean.

Otherwise, yes, once you are off 'touristy' routes in the city, you can see plenty of wild animals, even within the metropolitan area of major cities. As for meeting them, I don't think it's possible. They are wild after all.

Where did you see the bisons? Was it a family or a herd?

I have seen European bison in Puszcza Białowieska in Poland. I was working there six years ago.
It was a family consists of a father, a mother and a little calf.

Puszcza Białowieska? Is it the same as Беловежская пуща but on the other side of the border?

I've never been to Poland. Are there many bisons left in the wild? What about Беловежская пуща - any bisons there?

I have only seen hedgehogs, squirrels, mice and hares. I want to see some wild animals, for example: elks, foxes, wolves, lynxes and some other wild animals.

    How happy all of you! In summer squirrels play with cone's shell and throw them to us. It's really nice picture (when I go with family to our country house): someone from my family washes dishes, and these nice animals sit on a branch of a spruce or a pine-tree and eat cones, throwing shell to us.
    Also, we have seen foxes, hedgehogs. Every day woodpecker pecks at trees. Jays walk among peas, thrushes - among berries.

Have you ever fed them?

As for me, I've fed a squirrel! It's so nice, a little squirrel! It has such funny "hands" like people! A lot of emotions, because it took nuts from my hand, set near me and started to eat! Then took another one! It was great!

[A.K.L.]

Hi, Maya! That’s wonderful! Do you have any pictures?
I've never fed them. These animals are really "wild" in our forest.

[Maya S]

Hello, A.K.L.! I don't have any pictures, as I didn't want to scare it! I simply looked on it! And where are you from? It's a pitty that squirrels are really wild in you city! They are so funny! But on the other hand, it's sometimes dangerous to feed them, because they can bite and transfer different illnesses. I met a kind one!

[Maya S]

By the way, thank you so much for pictures, they are really beautiful!
