Ok bonny owners. How many of you have had this happen on your car?
I decided to charge up my battery on my 94 as she'* sitting idle in the driveway for sale. After running the car for about 15 minutes I shut her down and decided to put the bra back on my hood that I had taken off a while back to clean. So I opened the hood and holy sh** this big a** gopher jumps out of my hood and makes a bee line for my garage!!! I don't know who was scared more, me or the freakin gopher! Good thing he didn't eat any wiring under there during his brief stay. And I thought that was the supercharger whining!!!!

A gopher was under the hood? wow.... weird....
Surprised he didn't run when you started the car..... or be killed/hurt by the moving parts.

There was a
skunk in my garage once

Thats about it

Over the years some of my cars have eaten cats in the winter time. Big mess, loud scream, and the loss of someones pet. Now I bang the hood of my work beater in the morning to wake any guests before I start it up

Do big-*** mosquitoes count?

Well, my sister'* high school boyfriend went home one night to hear a wierd noise when he got there. Found one of our barn cats hiding in the fender of his Chevelle.

I've found evidence of a critter of some sort under my hood. Chewed injector wires and a little fur. Squirrel I think.

Buddy of mine called one morning and asked for my help. Told me to bring my stuff to fix wiring on his car.... (like I got a special toolbox full, right?)

There were acorns and oak branches next to the completely chewed through and 4" missing piece of like 8 gauge wire going to his starter solonoid. I figure it was a squirrel.

He starts it more often now...

You know if I had a Honda or Toyota I would wonder why the replaced the hamsters with squirrels.

My dad back in the day had to pull a bunch of stuff off of one of his cars, I think he vette or camaro, because a cat for stuck in there. Neither animal or car were hurt in the process.

I was helping put struts in an Olds 98 one time and we had the backseat out, and found a mouse nest with several dead decayed mouse bodys in there....smelled so bad we had to let it air out untill we could touch it again...YECH!

That would have scared the beejeebies outta me!! A friend of mine lost a snake up in their car and had to take apart the dashboard.

I know that once I heard about mice gnawing on wires/upholstery and insurance covered it under comprehensive.
