Quite a few of these gave me chill bumps! The Titanic one I think is the one I never would have thought of and would definitely make my list!

A raccoon fight?!! I'm laughing right now. Never heard that sound before. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE heard a racoon fight. It is way worse than cats. Great post.
ReplyDeleteRaccoon fight?!?!?! They are so adorable I just can't imagine it!
ReplyDeleteComing from Australia, I had no idea how racoons sound, but I can tell you, the sound of two Koala's fighting is horrific as they try to smack each other out of the tree. Tiny fluffy things can be nasty!
