What is the rarest thing you had seen?

That must have been somewhat surreal considering the circumstances.

Maybe it was really mine, from my past life or something

No, that's not right. I was in Asia in my past life. I mustn't say anything else.

The rarest thing I have ever seen was a moose! We were in Alaska, the moose was at the front door trying to get into the house. I was terrified! I had never seen a moose that close before.

That sounds awesome! I want to see a moose! But from a distance would be fine...

Peacocks parading around the property while having lunch at a major Hotel/ Inn in Cuernavaca, Mexico...

A herd of springboks. I actually photographed them:

It sucks to see it this small but I can show you the full-size pic on the website.

That is awesome!!! I have seen those animals at the zoo in Memphis, but seeing them like that must be so much greater. Ah! Jealous!

WOW............! I've never heard of this animal, are they only " indigenous " to one particular area ?

They're African and their natural habitat is the savannah. I live in the Center-South coastal area, if I go a little south, to the desert, I could have the luck to spot these beauties. I also saw pythons, oryxes, wildcats and dik-diks. I love living here!
2 years ago I went out with my father to the beach and we found a pack of baboons crossing the road. And they were corssing it really slow like "we own this place, you wait, you humans!", it was amazing!

UNREAL!...thanks for posting............I watch NATGEO all the time but have never seen these guys...

Just one more. This is a baby springbok:

I don't know what it was doing on its own, it's unusual to see an orphan.

That's so amazing! I have seen dik-dik's before too! They're so cute! I would probably die of happiness if I saw one in the wild. I must seriously reconsider my next home.

It's amazing! It's a terrible thing that the government makes it really hard for foreigners to live here though. Unless you work in the construction industry or are a missionary/volunteer, people usually can't find a place here.

Ive always wanted to visit Africa, but I dont think I would want to live there with all the wars and terrorism thats going on.

I ran across something rare the other day, an honest used appliance dealer. Now that is unusual, especially around here.
