  2. White-winged black-tyrants (Knipolegus aterrimus) were fairly common around my house in Bolivia. They would jump up from their perch a couple of feet in the air, turn a somersault, snap their bill with a loud crack, and relight on their perch.

ahem!

  3. I saw a man cuss and rant when he was fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and reeled in what he thought was a big catch but found it was a stingray. He took out the hook with the stingray fighting him the entire time (they’re mean little bastards) and released it back into the Gulf. A few minutes later he reeled in what he thought was a big catch- it was the same stingray- you could tell from the scars of the first time. (They’re apparently stupid as well as mean.)

Damn you both :stuck_out_tongue:

  7. A calf we raised in our garage when her mother died giving birth one day figuring out how to come into the house, look around, drop a load off in the den, and stand there very calmly looking at us and going “baaaa” when we came into the kitchen.

Even having to clean up calf manure it was funny to us. Though she got moved to the herd not too long after.
