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?

killer ducksaround spring time, and after their ickle wickle cygnets are born, daddy swans become very VERY territorial.
judging by some prior posts this can become an issue on a canal boat - or of you;re unlucky enough, when feeding the bustards.
however, sitting in a single scull ( the smallest of all rowing shells) in the middle of a river, one is a little more 'exposed'.
so. i row past the nest, giving the swans 'lair' a WIDE berth. not wide enough for Mr Swan, who decided when i was fifty metres downstream already, that im still a threat to its grey ugly duckling fecking spawn.
note to reader. when a swan is about to launch a charge, it starts moving toward you in spurts.... kicking with its unseen devil legs under the water.
then its head goes down backwards into its wings... further and further....
and then it launches.. full on...
onto the back of your boat. where it lands hissing and generally being ultra agressive.
it followed me for a couple of miles doing this.
thanks for reading. its therapy really....
