Another maybe not so funny animal encounter

[Nanci]

From a webpage describing safety issues on the rails-to-trails trail I rode Tuesday evening with my cousin:

"Wildlife: There are many forms of wildlife to be seen on or from the Trail. Please limit your interaction with wildlife to observation and photography. Trail users should not approach or attempt to physically interact with wildlife. It is not unusual to see alligators, poisonous snakes, wild horses and other potentially dangerous wildlife on or near the Trail."

Nice combination, huh?

I was a Nevadan for almost 25 years, and those wild burros and horses can be pretty wild during mating season; the dogs and I would take a good detour around them when they were in heat and not in their right minds! They can sound pretty unearthly also. And then of course there are the rattlers, and tarantulas and scorpions and mtn. lions, coyotes and bears (sometimes young mtn. lions would come into Reno and hang out by--casinos).
