Or cattle.  I remember lying in the bed of my truck at the Shake, Rattle
and Roll CTR (Hesperia, CA) and listening to the sound of cattle horns
screeching along the windows of my Snug-Top (the cattle were after hay and
grain in all the camps, trailers, etc).  And then hearing the shriek from
the tent camper next door as a Long-Horn cow poked its head through her
tent flat and threatened to take the whole thing down. The gal scared off
the cow long enough to grab her sleeping bag and bail for the front seat of
her truck! The tent got flattened during the rest of the night but no
serious damage.
