Felt compelled to share : Saw an elephant on my ride today; ran over a large snake (usually they are dead); and saw a large white 18" owl standing in the middle of the road (?!). Not too sure what was going on today, but the wildlife was out in force.

i was in SLC recently and went for a run on antelope island, it was awesome running within sight of herds of bison, even saw a coyote, but ironically/sadly, no antelope

Why did you steal my quote  

That is pretty cool, I have seen a bunch of deer while running, and Elk while riding, maybe some wild turkey's and Quail, but no elephants!  pretty neat

well mine used to be 'do or no do, there is no try.'  until someone pointed out that it was a combo of Mr. Miyagi and Yoda. . Cool

Worst I had, one night ride.  Ended up chasing down a coyote, then almost ran over a black cat, then had an armadillo run in front of me.  Manage to hit him with my rear tire only.  Bought a trainer the next week.  Also have almost hit an owl and a fox.  So far no alligators!

The people up the road from me have a camel!

I've seen elk, deer, pronghorn, coyotes, bears, lots of cool birds of prey, but an ELEPHANT! That would be cool!

Other than your regular west side American Wildlife my most entertaining encounter was getting chased by a male peacock on my bike and later on by a female peacock on my run.
