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?

talk to the animals...I've always liked animals, and in general they seem to like me, but I have had several (memorable) accidents with them. I like horses - I never got out of that yay! horses! stage, anyway I ride a rather mean horse that is generally ok, but one day decided to take a hand spans chunk out of my left leg as I was getting it ready. Cue loud swearing and horse breaking free from being tied up. I still have a large bruise and it tingles strangely when touched. I still ride it though. It loves me really.
Also I (un)wisely thought it would be cool to ride the horse bareback to the stable from its field. Not a good idea. It goes off cantering and bucking as I gracefully slide off the side at speed covering me in mud and scratches. My mum is with me helpfully holding the other horse who goes crazy and gives her rope burn by dancing about. I wasn't wearing a hat. thank God for soft landings.
Another one is cycling along in shorts in richmond park with two others in front of me - paths are VERY stony there. Dog gaily runs in front of first cyclist causing a chain reaction which leaves the first two unscathed and me sliding along the ground on my bare leg trying to avoid the other two and peppering it up the side with gravel - ouch!
yay first post, virginity popped, blah blah blah, all that jazz.....
