I'd jump into your lap . . .

anyone alse had any strange animal encounters?

Not me personally, but my two kids were at my parents' house in the yard when a pack of coyotes walked past them. Two of the pups approached the kids, walking to within a couple feet of them.

coyotes? coool. they have a bad rep but that's just propaganda. might be scary to come upon a pack though

dolphins always look like they're smiling.

it's my goal to one day swim with some dolphins. actually touch one, maybe. i've seen them off the prow of the ship, but that's as close as i've come. i couldn't bring myself to force myself on them at seaworld, they'd be too trapped in there with me or something. but maybe next year in cabo

I feel what you're saying about interacting with them in captivity, but my neice did this and couldn't stop talking about it for weeks. Might even have helped her decide what she wants to do with her life. http://www.sixflags.com/d...overy.aspx

Sea World Gold Coast - u don't actually swim, u just stand in the water and they come to u

Eh? I just meant she paid the couple hundred dollars to spend a few hours learning about dolphins and getting in the tank with them. They pet them and swam around with them for quite a while.

...I'd know how to swim. I did a dolphin excursion at DolphinQuest in Bermuda on a seat at the side of this big pool of water, worrying the whole time I'd fall in. It was a wonderful experience touching the dolphin and holding its flipper as it did a trick. Such a beautiful animal!

I have heard that more people are hurt by dolphins than sharks.

If I were a dolphin I would have sexual climax 24/7 for 15 days, even without any stimulation.

sorry for the apparent non sequitur. the scripps institute has a great program for marine biology; if i had interacted with dolphins at your neice's age, that experience might have steered me towards that internship with scripps all those years ago.

i did visit sea world san diego, and was awed. a bit terrified by the killer whale show.. huge, intelligent creatures. thought about renting a wetsuit and joining the others in the dolphin tanks. but, i'd like to play with a dolphin that chooses to play with me of its own accord, like, off the coast or while surfing, or something. i've read that places like sea world stress them out, a bit.

what's up with this?? some sort of collusion against humankind among neptune's creatures????

Eagle ray soars onto boat, body slams woman

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...-miami_fl/

Spotted eagle rays aren't really supposed to fly, but a 300-pounder took flight in the Florida Keys this weekend to the surprise of an unsuspecting boater.

Jenny Hausch, a tourist from Illinois, was on a charter boat off the coast of Islamorado when the giant ray propelled itself out of the ocean and landed on top of her, CBS4 reported.

The marine body slam shocked everyone in the boat, who struggled to get the spotted eagle ray out of the boat and back into its habitat.

It was the second time this month a sea-bound animal decided to take a boat ride. A dolphin jumped onto a boat in Marco Island and sprained a woman's ankle.

It took the help of two Florida Fish and Wildlife officers who happened to be passing by the boat to get Hausch from under the animal and get the ray back in the water.

Rays are known to breach the waters surface, but usually hunt near the ocean floor for shrimp, crabs and other crustaceans.

Like most rays, spotted eagles are equipped with venomous spines in their tails.

In 2008, a spotted eagle ray jumped out of the waters near Marco Island and onto a speeding boat. It hit a woman, who died from the impact.

Luckily, Hausch escaped with no injuries from her fish tale.
