The left side of my leg was going numb and so did my crotch. I ended up getting 3 stiches for the gash.

I didn't know Sting Rays could actually harm you, I mean they let you pet them at the aquarium, wherever.

generally docile, even in the wild, unless you step on them. And most of the aquariums' rays are actually de-barbed bat rays (though they do somtimes do have a de-barbed sting ray in there, too).

So they don't bite, they have like spikes on their back/tail? hmmm, learn somethin new every day.

Some sting rays will electrify you.

Not really a wild animal, but whatever. I used to breed hedgehogs. I had one of them out and I snuggled her with my nose. Usually that's not a problem (at this point you can probably see where I'm going with this ) but she was pregnant and had a bit of a temper. Anyway she latched onto my nose with her teeth, and then curled up in a ball with my nose in her mouth on the inside. She wouldn't let go of my nose, and I couldn't get to her mouth to pry it open because she was curled up. I had to have help getting her off, and it took a couple minutes. I still have a small scar from it. If you've never seen a hedgehog's teeth, they're pointed and pretty nasty.

Don't touch electric eels. I touched a small one in a tank once because my friend said it was tame and "felt cool". It gave a good jolt that made my pubes stand on end. He was laughing his ass off.

I have no idea why! I just walked near it and it suddenly starting coming to me.. another kid about my age whose family owns the goose took a huge basket and trapped it

And yeah I got pinched by a crab before too.. it was just something like the size of my palm and I didn't know it was in there when I reached into a plastic bag that was also holding a bunch of sea shells and other stuff.. I let out a fvcking loud scream too These fvckers pinch hard :|

Didn't get to taste it because I WTFBBQed it to oblivion.. I was like 10 then

Once when I was very little at my grandparent's house in Ohio I was chasing a rabbit around a tree, when suddenly it turned around and began chasing me. I fled the scene. Another time I was at Kennedy Space Center with my parents and I was looking under the engine of one of the rocket's on display, when a bird came out of nowhere and pecked me on the head. Turns out it had a nest right under the engine.

I was chased by a tiny dog when I was a kid, I was riding on the back of the bike while my friend Terry was paddling.

The dog almost bit my ass.
