number 2: a conger eel at the sea, in the place i used to swim

number 3: i was at the sea (same place of above), looking for octopus underwater. i found a small one hidden on a rock and stabbed it with my spear. as soon as i pulled it off the rock, a huge octopus appeared and tried to grab it from my spear, it failed and so swam away in a hole ...

number 4: a falcon chasing a moorhen a few metres from where i was fishing. it almost caught it but the prey landed in the water at the very last second and dodged all the attacks by diving

Sharks are always fun to see. :)

But my most exciting . . . were probably all with goats. :/

1: Leatherback Sea Turtles resting on a beach near Waldport. EXTREMELY rare place to find them.
2: Being within twenty feet of an adult Black Bear and her cubs at the Great Smoky Mountains. Very short encounter, but scary since I was was nine at the time.
3: Seeing a Humpback Whale breach off the coast of Coos Bay during a whale watching trip.
4: Spotting a sea otter whilst ocean fishing in Alaska three summers ago.
5: Going on a manta-ray dive off the Big Island in Hawaii. They were incredibly majestic.

I rarely see wild animals :P . But there at least 2 that I remember.

1: Maybe it's an aviary, but free roaming counts right? A Male Junglefowl was attacked by 2 peahens. That was an exciting scene. But the battle ended and the fowl continues to wander around.

2: Encounter with reef fishes and colorful Nudibranches in a reef when I was snorkeling.
