This is a question 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?

Me/my fingers + animals = trouble
Other animals that have attacked (possibly having been provoked by) me:

A 6th grade classmate's two hamsters (bought within a couple months of each other) who, upon meeting me for the first time, bit my finger hard enough to draw blood. After that they were nice, but they both died after a few months (the 2nd one was found one morning covered in beeeeeeees, er, I mean ants).

When I was 12 I found a freaking big lizard at my grandmother's house. The thing was nearly a foot long, with black, yellow, and white alligator-like scales. Because it was a cool day I caught it with ease and transplanted it to a round glass terrarium where it lived in my mom's classroom for a while. Later I released it at my friend's house; the first thing the fecker did when I tried to get it from its box was bite my thumb! It got away and left an odd, serrated v-shaped imprint. I've never seen another lizard like it since.

Obligatory Bovine Story: I was in Hawaii (I can't remember if it was Maui or the Big Island) with my friend (same friend from above) and my dad. We were at a shopping area that was next to a ranch, and on the other side of a fence was a big black bull. I go "Ooh, look at that!" and go nearer to the fence to get a closer look at the large mammal. Just as I got about a yard away, it "flinched" at me! I flinched... and moved closer. It moved again, and I legged it. It didn't really charge or anything, but it freaked me and my friend out and gave my dad some really amusing video footage.

The last thing that "attacked" me was a large black butterfly that got into my room last night (butterflies outside are good; butterflies inside my room flying towards my head/face are not) and my roommate's little b@stard mango parrot, but I tease him so I guess that was kind of my fault.
