Not sure about funny things, but one night in Scotland observing Hale Bopp in the pitch dark (it was almost completely cloudy, the comet was magnificent in a small gap in the clouds), I was walking out with a mate with no lights or torches along a path in the woods. We scared up a whole herd of red deer. From the noise all around, there must've been about 20 of them and we got right into the middle of their herd before they heard or saw us - they're quite big close up. Just a massive rustle of big scarpering shadows into the night in all directions!
In Australia the wildlife is distinctive, instead of a rustle of a running animal, you get THUMP .... Thump .... thump, thump, thump...
