My daughter Sarah came downstairs from her room last night with a very concerned look on her face. She told me there were loud noises coming from out in the yard that sounded like something was being torn limb-from-limb. I went out and investigated. The big dogs were barking very fiercely at something in the dark. The returning scream told me there was a bobcat out there who took issue to our Great Pyrenees guarding the rest of the critters. The big cat decided to go off and search for an easier meal.
Not quite the same night sounds we used to get when we lived in town.
Good dogs.

That kind of thing would terrify me. Bears as well. I even got spooked by marmots in France once.
Actually, there was a fish that I caught in the sea that croaked at me 2hen I caught it. That was unnerving as well and it was only about 4 inches long.

I'm fairly certain I heard and briefly saw a mountain lion in our yard last spring. While they don't necessarily live in this area, they occasionally wander through. Bobcats, however, are permanent residents.
I try to keep my wits about me when in the woods.
