I can't help but wonder--what do wild animals think whenever they see
anyone on a unicycle?

I wonder if they find it strange, as some humans do.

Is a wild deer or bear tempted to make some joke about "where is your
other wheel" or something like that?

Now that I think about it, can Muni-Hunting be far in the future? (I say
this as someone who has no opinion on the subject of hunting, never did
it, so I don't know what it's about, so I won't criticize nor praise
it.)

That would be an incredible sight--hunters with rifles or pistols,
hunting in the forest while riding Hunter mUnicycles! They are only
allowed to shoot WHILE riding.

Or, on the other hand, imagine what it must be like to be on a mUnicycle
safari on the African savahanna--but you accidently drop your gun and
you find yourself pedaling furiously, a charging rhino right behind you!
Not a good time for a UPD!

I'm really just kidding around. I'm not good enough a unicyclist to go
on any big countryside rides yet, but just the idea of encountering
wildlife while riding is truly awesome!

Great shot of the mule deer!

While riding in Santa Teresa park in San Jose yesterday, I saw a Coyote.
It was the first one I've ever seen. Surprisingly, I saw it before it
saw me. I didn't want to get too close and spook it, so I started
whistling. Once it saw me, it bolted. In hindsight, the better move
would have been to grab the Digicam in my Camelbak, but it's too late
for that now. The funny thing is that I was riding on the Coyote Peak
trail at the time. 😄

On other rides, I have spotted a few deer and some birds of prey.

When I was in Hawaii, all I got to see were mongooses, toads, bugs, and
the occasional whale.

I know for a fact that many dogs hate unicyclists, while they don't mind
bikes. A friend of mine was chased by a big dog on his 29er until he
jumped off and climbed a tree, and waited there for ten minutes until
someone called the cops.

I was once bitten by a German Shepherd (dog, not human) while
unicycling. It came running from afar, ran along with me for a bit,
barked, bit me (not hard) and then I scared it away.

Theres lots o deer were i live,and elk to(but i dont see them while on
my uni).

my family hunts,my dad shot a mule deer buck last week.

This is funny timing,earlier today i was riding past a Buffalo heard
about a mile and a half away from my house.(but,they are kinda
domestic).We somtimes take pictures of them to show people,I wanted to
get a picture of me and the Buffalo,but i was by myself.

Hehe,anyone else have Buffalo were they live?
theres actually another heard about 6 miles away,in the other
direction.

There are lots of deer on the UCSC campus, but someone must be feeding
them 'ludes because they just sit and watch me pedal by.

I'm always chased by dogs on my muni but never on my bicycle. I don't
understand what difference they perceive as so threatening as to growl,
bark and snap at me! Aggh!

Stupid dogs. Go chase a parked car.
