Animal Attacks

[GaryA]

My friend works online with various foreign companies, and this week he told me that one of his colleagues in India was off work as she had been attacked by a monkey.
He was shocked as he thought they were generally peaceful, so I pointed him to some of the YouTube videos available.
Anyway, it got me wondering if any of you have any personal stories of wild animal attacks/escapes to tell?
Not really interested in historic stuff as they have been covered elsewhere.

I can´t contribute with any interesting attack or escape.

But that poor woman in India, on top of curing of any sustained injury, I guess had to undergo usual series of rabies vaccines, tetanus one and all that probably paid by herself (not cheap). Outch.

Not a wild animal but I was once bitten deep enough to draw blood by a Milii Clownfish I was keeping, while I was cleaning it's tank. I had to wear rubber gloves to work in the tank after that. My Ocellaris Clowns also used to bite at my hands but never hard enough to cause any real injury. Clownfish are just aggressive like that.
