Strange sight when walking at night

Doing my usual evening walk last night I came across a small dog fighting a porcupine amongst some bushes. Crazy situation to encounter. Is this something you would see often?

Yes, all of the time.

I was once heading home after a few beers and walking down my path nonchalantly past me was a huge badger. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing so had to ask the taxi driver who’s just dropped me off If he’d also seen it.( I was living in London at the time so I was concerned I’d had too many beers) only later did I find out that they are quite vicious when cornered.

"quite vicious when cornered"? who? badgers or taxi drivers?
 
Walking up outdoor stairs to my room in Mexico a massive raccoon shot past me going downstairs.... nearly tripped me over. Shat myself. They even look like robbers.
Cycling on a raised footpath next to the Po stood right across the path in my way was a Coypu. Big as a Labrador. We had a bit of a mexican standoff. I shouted "Fk off" at him but then thought..... you idiot..... you're in Italy, he won't understand.

I’ve never cornered a taxi driver but I dare say some of them are quite handy given the drunken antics a lot of the taxi drivers have to put up with!!

I recall a lad who had a bit of a drink problem. One afternoon he left the club we were all drinking in to climb into a taxi. He got in the back of the taxi and got straight back out again on the other side and went back into the club.

My thread was supposed to be a joke. I was waiting for someone to ask who won the fight between the dog and the porcupine for me to respond with 'The porcupine on points' It backfired on me. I didn't expect the thread to grow like this moving away from my intention haha. The responses have been funnier than my initial thread intention!! Thank you this has made my day!

I went out for a walk one night and as I came in the front door a Bat came with me. It went straight upstairs. Cue the Mrs screaming and running around . My son was shouting it's a bat it's a bat at the top of his voice. Managed to calm them down and used a huge beach towel to force it down the stairs and out the front door. What a manly thing to do

They can be very vicious creatures, you certainly wouldn’t want to fight one.

All the scum who go badger baiting should be forced to go one to one with a pi$$ed-off badger using only their bare hands. They wouldn’t last long.
