I’ve seen deer NOT jump in front of my car. That’s genius level for those things.

My niece’s French bulldog would bump a chair with his head to move it across the kitchen, then use it to reach a bowl of pecans on the counter. He only counts as wild animal because he liked to drag his stuffed animals to the living room and hump them in front of the tv.

Not 100% wild, but I once saw a lost/stray gray cat approach a woman (my wife) in a Family Dollar parking lot in the freezing cold meowing for help. She was exactly the correct person to seek help from and it was a smart move because here he is a year later (we adopted him):

I saw a racoon mimic a human’s voice to distract someone to go outside while the racoon snuck in and grabbed all the timbits

I saw a crow fish a big sharing bag of crisps (chips) out of a bin. The bag was nearly full and too heavy for it to fly away with so it landed pulled half the crisps out and onto the ground, then picked up the now lighter bag and carried it off.

Run the hell away from humans

Not a wild animal, but if my dog wants something that another dog at my house is using (a rawhide), he will paw at the back door to get let out. When I get up to let him out, the rest of the dogs get up and assemble by the door. Once I open the door up, the dogs rush out, but he turns around to go steal the thing he wants. Sometimes, I let him do it. Other times, I grab him and push him out with the rest of the dogs. Gotta teach him that sometimes crime pays sometimes you get pinched.

Watched a pet raccoon steal a small screwdriver and then put it back after the (fake) yelling started. It was genuinely like watching a child play with a parent. It stole shit all the time though so maybe play better games but still wholesome lol

Our cat slides hair ties or socks under the bathroom door so that you can play with her.
