When animals attack...I once, accidentally, punched a racoon.
It had wandered into my tent, I was half asleep and thought it was a mate pratting around. There was a yelp and then all hell broke loose.
What have you been attacked by?

Amateur bush anticsI was on a canoeing trip on the Zambezi with my 19-yr-old Zimbabwean mate. He was from Harare and had only been into the bush once before.
We had too much to drink in the evening and fell asleep al fresco. A touch naïve but hey, we were on holiday.
3am I woke to hear my friend in some distress, then noticed three big hyenas right next to us. I was dead brave and scared them off with a semi-conscious adreneline-fuelled shouty dancy thing.
When I came back I realised my mate had been attacked as he slept and his upper lip and most of his nose had been bitten off.
Fuckin horrid. We were ill-equipped and had to wrap his face in a T-shirt to keep the flies off whilst I paddled us back to a camp to radio a plane.
He's a right ugly bastard now and friends call him rabies.
(Hi rabies!!)
