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?

It didn't bite - but a good story anyway...It's my daughters’ birthday this Monday and she asked if she could have a pet snake for a present.
Fair enough – so I got the necessary licence and bought a spotted python (Antaresia maculosa) from a dealer.
It’s only young and still quite small but can pack a sharp bite if upset.
She got the snake as an early present as she was having her party today (Saturday) and excitedly asks her little friends if they want to stroke her new pet. When they ask what it is, she simply (and rather evadingly) replies “Oh his name's Fluffy – you’ll love him, he’s so cute”.
Cue twenty two 7 year olds expecting to see a new kitten…actual result was about a third of them running around the back yard screaming (funny how kids bought up in the tropics are scared of snakes huh?)
She confided after the party that she was a bit disappointed that nobody got bitten – especially that bloody kid from next door who cheated at musical statues.
Never mind.
