[skygazer]

What unusual animals have you been bitten by?

1. Gopher snake.

My mom freaked, thought it was a rattler. Called the fire dept and everything. Worked out ok for me though, got me off restriction.:D

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. A garter snake bit me when I was a kid.

A lion cub sucked on my fingers; does that count? And I know someone who has a spectacular scar on her hand from being bitten by a small alligator.

Are we counting insects? Because I've been bitten by lots of those.

16. I was bitten by a squirrel when I was a kid

I cornered it in a chicken coop and picked it up. It immediately bit into my finger to the bone. Those little bastards have some strong jaws.

Growing up on a farm I was bitten by a number of barnyard animals. None of them were nearly as bad as that little squirrel.

[mnhtnbb]

[DarkTirade]

26. A gopher

No shit... I was doing construction monitoring and I saw this little animal running around after the grader had gone through. I ran out and picked it up, and it was a little gopher. It promptly bit the shit out of my finger. I relocated it to a corner of the site that wasn't going to be graded. After the day was done, I went and checked on it, and it was curled up dead. I took it and put it in a baggie.

I then went to Kaiser and told them I had been bitten. The nurses fucking ROARED when I told them what had happened. I had to fill out a longass animal bite form, and I got a big tetanus shot. (Explaining to them the circumstances of my previous shot was a bunch of chuckles. DO NOT shovel manure with a rusty pitchfork while barefoot. )The folks at Kaiser called the county public health department, and the county asked if I HAD the animal.

I said "Yes, I do."

I drove it down to the county, and the guy at the public health department was THRILLED to ACTUALLY get to check an animal for rabies! THRILLED I TELL YA!

Summary: It wasn't rabid. x(

27. when I was a kid a burro bit my arm at the "farm" section of the zoo

and would NOT let go. I have been bit by parrots, rats, squirrels, hamsters, snakes, dogs, horses, various insects, lizards, rabbits...

My youngest son was bit by a newly hatched rattler when he was 18 months old. He wins in this house.

28. Chinchilla, rat snake, mouse, squirrel, cats

The chinchilla and mouse were pets. The rat snake had been mistaken for a rattler by an idiot who wanted to kill it - it was a tiny baby snake and cute as it could be with itty bitty teeth that couldn't break the skin. The squirrel was drowning in a water trough. When I rescued the ungrateful little bushy tailed snot, it bit me, I dropped it and it ran away.

My cats bite me for fun.

Edit: I forgot about spiders and fire ants!

And then there was my horse bite. A horse bit me on the breast, crushing the outside half of that side without breaking the skin. One of the most painful injuries I ever had, it left me with extensive scar tissue inside the breast. I've been nipped by horses before and since - no comparison!
