^ i was once running through a field to get to my friend's house (used to live near orchards and shit)... the grass was about chest height (i was 13 or 14)... suddenly i break into this little clearing and there's a coyote with two little coyotes. i was like OH SHIT, didnt want to interrupt and disturb the young... but the biggest one (still smallish, like coyotes are) just ran away! i was like wtf, and just left hahaha
i saw an otter once when i was smoking on a beach, he just walked out of the water, walked around for a bit then left.
