Now I'm sure a charging grizz or lion, etc., would rate above this, but about 15 years ago I was camping some remote lakes up in the northern U.P. of Michigan, near the Wisconsin side. One day I decided to drive a narrow two-track back to this little lake and when I came around a corner there were two, either badgers or wolverines standing in the road about 50 feet ahead of me. (Still not sure which animals they were?) Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool seeing them, never saw them in the wild before, so I just stopped the truck to watch them for a while. Man, I never saw two animals swell up so fast, then suddenly they were low to the ground all flattened out and they were charging the truck like two speeding bullets, teeth showing and they were making all kinds of nasty grawling noises. I shoved the truck in reverse and beat it out of there.....I mean I thought for certain they were going to eat the tires right of the truck. Chased my truck for a good 40 yards or so. Now I've seen angry black bears, nervous acting wolves, etc.,.........but these things, for their size, which ever animal they were, literally gave me the willies. I couldn't believe how vicious they suddenly became, how powerful they looked, and how fast they could move. Just glad I was in the truck and not hiking. Hope I never see them again! Anyone else ever seen or had a run in with these nasty little beast?
