I'm in new mexico and saw a badger crossing the road while I was driving to work. It stopped in the middle of the road, turned towards me and waited, like it was deciding whether or not to fuck up the large metal thing coming towards it. Then slowly turned and continued on it's way when it decided I wasn't worth it. No fear whatsoever.

I had a huge buck do that to me once. It was like 3am and the thing just casually walked out into the road in front of my truck and looked at me like "......what?"
