What's the craziest encounter you had with a wild animal?

Had a wild squirrel that followed us home years ago. It wasn't very old, and it followed one of my dogs, tI. (this must have been about 18 years ago now). It even came in the house and kept on rubbing itself inbetween tI's legs, the way a cat does. I think it mistook tI for its mother even though tI looked nothing like a squirrel (she was a golden Retriever).
When driving home from a remote, mountainous area in northern PA, I almost hit a baby black bear that jumped out of the woods! Scary!
Nah, it was a youngster. I think it was a bit confused.
We gave it some nuts and then my daughter & I took it back to near the trees where it had first found us. But every time we put it on a tree it jumped down and kept on running after us as we tried to move away! It was really, really weird!
My daughter wanted to, and got very tearful when we had to put it back, but you are not allowed to keep recognised English wild animals as pets in this country.
