Not a thread based on the show, although a great one.

I mean encounters with animals that will scare you for the rest of your life.

Any tales?

Swooped by a magpie!!! those things are deadly

I once got chased by a rottweiler. That's about it

Live at the foothills of a mountain and you don't want to be near hungry, angry deer..........

walking to the shed with a yard full of toads

When I was 6 or so I got chased by a dog when I was on holidays.

Only for about 4 years I have actually felt comfortable around dogs.

Lol if it wasn't for my uncle I would prob be dead. My aunty and uncle owns a big property with heaps of wallabies. And wild dogs come to eat the wallabies, in particular dingoes, and F*** some of them are big up in QLD. I was a fair way from the house and my uncle just happened to be planting small palm shrubs and he always kept a shotgun handy in the backseat whenever on the property....

My uncle ended up killing the dog, so yeah I was freaking lucky. Heaps of wallabies weren't as lucky as me though.

Bitten By stray dog in Canberra one year

Swooped by a magpie, was bleeding from the back of my head heaps. Also once woke up with a mass huntsman on my face!

I would of passed out if I had a huntsman on my face. I think I got Arachnophobia

my only fear is reptiles, i remember waking up once in perth when i was a kid with a little skink right on my pillow. i shudder when i see one run past my feet.

snakes are common in my area, we've had tiger and brown snakes on our back deck and near the pool. not fun, partly why i've grown to dislike summer.

have nightmares and panic attacks about it sometimes.

Yeah snakes didn't really bring me any nightmares but up at my aunty's there was once an actual snake curled around a pole and i thought it was a stuffed snake... turns out it hissed at me and i got heaps freaked out hahah
