Stone martens are terrible, they're known for wrecking cars here.

Lately I've been seeing A LOT of dead Mustelidae while driving around, and I mean A LOT, there's hasn't been a day that I didn't see atleast 3 of them,

Mostly Mustela putorius which is sad because they're one of the prettiest species, and it's too bad their heads are usually crushed because I know someone that's into taxidermy.

I've watched videos where they catch and eat hummingbirds, which have to be at least twice their body weight. So yeah, it may be possible.
>>

Their body would have to be made of some seriously strong materials. If you just scaled it up, it would collapse under its own weight.

insects being able to be that big aside, no, that elephant would have obliterated that mantis.

I got to see a mountain lion stock a deer for a good five or so minutes one time while I was making my way to a hiking trail. It didn't chase the deer, but it was still cool to see it trying to get close enough to go in for the kill.

Needless to say, I didn't go hiking that day.
>>
When I was in 3rd or 4th grade we lived in a suburban house on a cul-de-sac which, if you followed the street, was like a mile from my school bus stop. If I climbed over our backyard wall, however, I could walk through this undeveloped plot of land and reach the bus stop in 5 minutes.

So one foggy morning I climb over the wall, take a couple steps forward, and turn to see a coyote maybe 20 feet away walking towards me out of the mist. It probably wasn't all that big, but at the time I thought it looked absolutely massive and he had incredibly piercing yellow eyes. The coyote was walking alongside the wall, and I was standing just a couple feet away from the wall, but I was so bewildered (and a little scared) that I just stood there as it approached. Coyote walks right by me, cool as a cucumber, without even glancing at me.

After he went past I started walking away briskly, then went into a full run towards my bus stop, haha. I'll never forget that chill coyote.

Oh god here's one I wish I had a camera on me for. Yeah, I saw one of these guys puttering around a mini lakeside neighborhood not too far from where I live while bike riding. I live in Vancouver, and this was nowhere near the zoo either. Totally felt like I was daydreaming.

Last week I left my room to get a bite to eat. Was gone about 5 minutes and when I came back I saw these things (pic related) on my coax cable. Thought they were ants at first but on closer inspection they turned out to be baby leaf footed bugs that just hatched (and were still hatching.)

In 3rd grade in Mexico a bunch is kids were getting loud and crowded in the back part of the school where there was trees and dirt.I went to check what was going on and I see them throwing rocks at what they're calling a lizard I don't even think about it and go through the kids and reach quickly for it's tail and everyone is just staring at me,I take it to my teachers room and put it on the computer for the remainder of the class,at the end of the day I took home with me a cute green iguana!(I knew what it was right away) lasted a few years then I was dragged to the U.S.

Couple years ago driving along the road South of large in-city park, suddenly see peregrine falcon fly past with what appears to be a dead seagull in its talons. Gull was the same size as the falcon. Definitely most surprising wild animal sighting for me.

When I was a child living in florida we had a neighbor lady a few doors down who owned a whole flock of peacocks. They're cool to watch as an adult but when you're five years old, the males are all feisty because it's mating season, and they're constantly hanging out in your back yard, it can be pretty terrifying.

>grandparents own a lake property in northern indiana

>last month or two ago a cousin of mine who's about six dug up a bunch of baby turtles in the pile of sand

She was so excited.

>it's a tiny little snake, no more than eight inches long, thrashing about in a tangle of spider webs
>we free him from the spider webs and take him back to the house to show some others
>we let him go later that day

>I turn to see six deer running through the snow away from the bird feeder

>the deer came back a few times after that and we took pictures

>driving home with my mother as we were going down the country road to get to our house, I see a bald eagle perched in a large sycamore
>she turns the car around so we can go look at it, since eagles aren't very common where we live
>as we sit on the side of the road watching it, the eagle takes a huge shit, it was like watching a gallon of white paint splatter down through the leaves and branches

>driving home from vacation in Key West Florida
>mother wants to see an endangered key deer, she's been to the key west five times and never seen one even though people say you can see them along the road all the time
>it's dark, we're driving at the reduced speed limit and the whole family has their eyes glued to the road side
>we enter the next town up US 1 and are about to give up looking since we're driving through urban islands now
>I spot two deer, and my mother turns the car the car around
>we pull up into the parking lot of a CVS and ogle these two deer
>they're just chilling in the grass next to a bus stop, not five feet from the road, closer to the center of town than the edge
>a guy on bike goes by, not ten feet from the deer, and they don't give any fucks
I understand why they're endangered now. They have no fear of anything, they're like the wildlife on the galapagos islands, they're not afraid of people.

Found this girl on my plants today. Her abdomen was flat and since we're entering fall I guess she laid her eggs and was about to die. Too bad, it's been a while since I've seen a mantis this big.
