    Captive animals, I’ve seen countless exotic animals. Wild animals are a cooler experience.

    A wild black bear in the northern Lower Peninsula.

    A loggerhead sea turtle in Calibogue Sound.

    A baby Atlantic bottle nose dolphin riding waves at a beach in South Carolina.

    I saw a group of 25k redhead ducks together floating on Lake St. Clair in 2022.

    Not rare animals, but the sight was. I saw a bull shark eat a sea gull that was floating on the water.

    I also saw a dead alligator that was bloating up from rot get stuck on the bow of a boat on the Savannah river. A guy tried to kick it off and his foot went through it and it was the most putrid thing I’ve ever seen.
