It's Not Nice To Mess With Mother Nature: Hypester Stories Of Wild Life!

My uncle was bitten by a rattlesnake years ago while on a golf course. At the hospital, no venom was found in his system. They say either it had just eaten or was too old to inject venom.

It surprised me that either was an option but I can see it.

Or it was a dry bite. They sometimes do that instead of wasting venom on a "get away from me" response.

Learn sumthin' new eery day.

Stupid Raccoon was stealing my food when I was backpacking. It looked at me like "What the EF are you gonna do about it?" when I yelled at him. Nailed him with a frisbee from about 12 feet, hard, and he left.

The raccoons will now haunt you like Morg.

"Now?" The only way I got them to leave me alone was by moving to LA from Santa Cruz. Once they took up residence under my house and under my bedroom floor; thereby making sleep next to impossible. I called animal control and they basically said "We don't EF with raccoons." Even in death, they screwed with me. I had a deck with very little room between it and the ground and one crawled about 20 feet under it and died. It stunk up the entire backyard and adjoining rooms of the house. I finally got it out and it looked like something out of a Stephen King movie (or book).

My mom has a warren of flying squirrels living right above her in her bedroom.

It is a huge pain in the ass because they are a protected species so any outside help needs to be non lethal, so a long arduous process of catching them individually and then there are rules about that like if the wildlife people are not gonna be available traps aren't gonna be set up because of fears for the animal's safety being maybe geld for more than a day inside a trap and there is a state or Fed holiday.

I just don't think I could live someplace close by a known active volcanic area.
 
I can't swear that all these stats are correct. But I do know that shark attacks get a disproportionate amount of press. :ninja:
