Kamikaze Goose

January 2, 2018. Easton, Maryland.

Dead goose nails the hunter who shot it. A Divine Wind indeed.

Well played, goose.

Dead Elk Gores Hunter

September 11, 2003. Diamond Mountain, Utah.

Now that was a fiendishly tricky move on the elk's part.

Of course this will probably spark a craze of zombie elk books and TV shows now. Ugh.

One Million Cockroaches Escape Farm

August 2013. Dafeng, China.

Of course, given how the Chinese government locks down communications and underplays catastrophes, we're probably really looking at a billion or so roaches on the lam.

Rabid Cow Attacks Farmer

February 3, 2012. Maysville, Georgia.

Not as scary as a rabid buffalo, perhaps, but still sobering.

Rabid Skunks Invading Larimer County

August 1, 2012. Larimer County, Colorado.

23 rabid skunks and one rabid buffalo, and one rabid raccoon. I can honestly say that the thought of a rabid buffalo scares the shit out of me. I had no idea that was even possible.

Changing the subject, it's hard to read "bat rabies" correctly, and not see "rat babies". Got to be a tongue twister in there somehow. The rat babies gave the bat rabies, and the bat babies gave the rat rabies.

Otter Attacks Woman

July 16, 2012. Island Lake, Minnesota.

I can see how it would freak you out, but if you're claiming to be a true Ironwoman, you really shouldn't let a 20 pound mustelid kick your ass.

Bear vs Chihuahua

August 18, 2009. Frazier Park, California.

Another bear-chihuahua match. Apparently the bear managed to get the best of the contest.

I know people love their lap dogs, but to me the analogy is

bear : chihuahua = person : popcorn.
