When people experience intense emotions such as fright or awe, they often remark that they feel their hair standing on end.

Owls, especially barred owls with their wild screams and hoots, have sent many a novice outdoorsman packing. There is one species of local mammal though that can hold his own with owls when it comes to nocturnal caterwauling.
