I broke a rabbit in half one day on a corner ,skidded on the front tire a few feet out of line but stayed up...phew,close call.
Another time I hit a dry roadkill squirrel and my rear tire flipped it up in the air and it hit my buddy right in the chest,we still get a good laugh over that!!!!! Also a bird or two.

I got hit by a bird in the shoulder, and had a turkey vulture come real close on the bike.
In my car I've taken out a cat and racoons and squirrel that rolled like crazy after it went under my tire. Had one deer so close I couldn't see its legs anymore.

While in Sturgis in 2004 I saw a family of turkeys cross the road, from my right to left, a mommy and her little ones. Just as I came up on them the last little one ran back onto the road right into myfront tire.

An explosion of feathers, behind me and all over the bike and I .

A group of riders a ways back must have been awestruck at the site,

Do not knowthe Turkeys fate,

EDIT:

If this counts,

While on the Blue Ridge Parkway I had a bird, HIT ME,did a kamikazee right innto my air cleaner cover, then hit my knee,

Over the years a couple of dogs,one deer,several birds,a bat,the worst was a rock in the chest tossed up by a truck,almost blacked out on that one.

One time I punched a kangaroo. Does that count?

Hit a Sperm Whale once, knocked him unconscious. But that was on a sail boat.

Hit an armadillo once. Launched like a cannon ball, hit a tree, got up and ran off. Tough little buggers.
