The best story I ever heard was from an ex Marine that I sometimes do jobs with.He was in the Marines for about 10 years between the Korean War and Vietnam.
Back when the US military controlled the Canal Zone there was a large reserve area used mainly for jungle survival training and he was going through some training course there.In this training at the end you got sent out on your own and had to find you way back to a location in limited amount of time in order to pass and you did not have any firearms.
As he was making his way through this section of jungle he heard this loud nose like a large animal or person moving through the brush and he called out thinking it was another Marine but got no answer so he knew what ever it was it was not a human and the noise was still approaching him so figured that it was a jaguar about to jump and grab him and he figured the best option was to charge right towards it and hopefully scare it away.So he starts running full speed towards the ever louder noise in bush and out comes a deadly..... armadillo
.Anyway after getting all worked up over an armadillo he sat there laughing for few minutes and kept on trekking his way through the jungle.
