R&P, has anyone ever seen a moose wandering their city streets? What are some "wild animal" related songs?

Yesterday we had a young moose that must have strayed from its Mother. It probably followed the river system from the Rocky Mountains that eventually leads to the city. He wandered all over the downtown business districts, China Town etc, until he was caught.

Here's a 20 picture slide show...

Here's the story:

Calgary Alberta Canada (where I live) has a population of just over 1 million. Here's a few pictures of a portion of the downtown area of the city:

Has anyone else ever had any sort Wild Life encounter(s) within the city they live in? I've had several here over the years, including a mountain lion, black bear, skunks, badger, and coyotes.

Music Question:

Name some songs about wild animals.

Thanks.

Update:

Wow, I had a similar tent experience with a friend of mine and a grizzly while camping in the Kananaskis. He was fresh off the boat from the UK, and had never done any camping. He was a big guy (about 300 lbs) with a clean shaven head. Picture a WWE wrestler, and you'll get an idea of what he looked like. On the first night out (and last, Lol), it was very hot, so he opened the zipper on his tent just enough to stick his head out, while pulling the zipper down around his neck and resting on a pillow. I guess his head was full of sweat...and the next thing I heard was a scream. I opened my tent, and saw a massive grizzly running off through the trees. My buddy said he awoke to feel something wet and breathing on his skull. At first he thought it was somebody's dog licking him...then he realized it was a grizzly bear! His scream seemed to frighten the bear off...it scared the heck out of me too!

Update 2:

Lol...how often do you see a moose running past the 'Marriott Hotel'? That picture is the first in a series of 20 pics within the slide show at the link I've posted above.
