<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/h1>\nOn March 8, 2016, this woman wanted to take a selfie with this swan so she decided to pull the bird out of the water near Lake Ohrid in Macedonia. The swan reportedly died after the incident. \n<\/p>\n
27. Keep Your Pants On<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure> \nA woman was attacked by a polar bear in Northern Russia.

29. Give Me A Big Hug \n <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/h1>\nWe aren\u2019t sure whether this dog is giving this woman a hug or if this game got a little too serious and she isn\u2019t actually laughing in that picture. It could actually be she\u2019s really scared. \n<\/p>\n
30. Big Smile<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThis girl looks really happy and smiley in the picture but that might be because she\u2019s unaware there is an upset horse right behind her and the animal\u2019s got a really scary smile in its face. No injuries have been reported. \n<\/p>\n31. Give Me That Sandwich Please<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis kangaroo seems to be asking for that woman\u2019s food using some really nice manners. She looks scared but it seems like as long as she hands her food to the animal she\u2019ll be ok. That kangaroo only really wanted the woman\u2019s sandwich.<\/p>\n

32. Don\u2019t Feed The Wildlife<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn May 2015, a 10-year-old girl was bitten by a camel at a safari park in Virginia suffering serious injuries on her forearm. Apparently, the camel was trying to get food from her. \n<\/p>\n
33. Crazy Billy Goat<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure> \nAn angry goat rampaging outside a Brazilian prison attacked a number of pedestrians, knocking some of them over (including a pair on a motorcycle). The goat escaped from a farm in Southern Brazil and was eventually caught. Supposedly, the aggressive behavior is typical for male goats that can be territorial. \n<\/p>\n34. Better Than The Circus<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nA giraffe escaped from its enclosure at the Rinaldo Orfeo Circus in Imola, Italy, chasing people along the streets for hours. In this picture, the galloping giraffe is chasing a scared local. Other locals reported damage to their cars.

The giraffe was back at the zoo soon after. \n<\/p>\n
35. Just Don\u2019t Do It!<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nChinese tourists stumbled onto an injured dolphin while swimming off the coast of Sanya City manhandling the distressed animal, lifting it out of the water to take photos of themselves with it. The dolphin died of “excessive bleeding” at a nearby marine park alerting wildlife authorities. \n<\/p>\n
36. Horse Attack<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHorses are beautiful animals, they can become people\u2019s best friend and when feeling threatened they will most likely flee rather than attack. There have been some cases though in which horses react badly and injure those who accidentally trigger their anger. Please be careful when dealing with wild horses if you don\u2019t know anything about them. \n<\/p>\n
37. Run For Your Life<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWild boars are foragers and they consume both plants and animals primarily eating leaves, grasses, roots, fruits, and flowers. They mainly dwell in forested areas where trees and vegetation provide them shelter and food and they can exhibit aggressive territorial behavior. Boars have four extremely sharp tusks up to five inches long that can severely injure or kill a hiker, however, as they aren\u2019t hunters if you can outrun them they will rarely pursue you. \n<\/p>\n
38. Let\u2019s Keep Rolling<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure> \nPhoto: LiveLeak<\/span><\/p>\nApparently, this grizzly bear was tossing this woman around in a glass box for a Japanese game show called Predator Shield. The disturbing video shows a petrified victim enclosed in what looks like flimsy protection while the massive predator overturns the cage repeatedly. There isn\u2019t further information about the woman being circled around in the glass box but she managed to film the entire ride. \n<\/p>\n
39. Warned Not To Feed Bears<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAuthorities reported that a woman had been feeding bears at her home in Lake Tahoe, California, three of the four bears she fed were killed. Apparently, the woman had conditioned the bears to further explore human settlements and either wildlife officials were forced to kill them to safeguard the public or cars accidentally hit them. Lt. Patrick Foy of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife told the Associated Press that the woman had just fed one of the bears and was walking back to her house when the animal struck her from behind. She survived the attack but suffered several injuries. \n<\/p>\n
40. Tragedy<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHarambe, a 17-year-old Gorilla was shot after a five-year-old boy was knocked unconscious after falling into the animal enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo. Authorities reported the boy crawled through the\u00a0railing and fell about 10ft. Witnesses heard the boy saying he wanted to get into the water, but his mother, who was taking care of several other children, said ‘no’. People blamed the boy\u2019s parents for not looking after their son and called the tragedy ‘murder’. \n<\/p>\n
41. Zoo staff mauled by white tigers<\/h1>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure> Credit: https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com[\/caption]<\/p>\nDon\u2019t taunt wild animals. Just don\u2019t. Ever. But that knowledge didn\u2019t seem to sink into some people\u2019s thick skulls. So when Nordin Montong decided it\u2019s fine to mess with the tigers with his broom and a bucket, one of the tigers lunged at him and knocked him over. The zoo keeper was recovered, but his wounds in the back and neck and a fractured skull caused his death even before he could be brought to the hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
