My dad called earlier to talk to us about how he got bitten by a bat.
He said that people were chasing it and trying to catch it.
He said he just reached out and grabbed it when it flew towards him.
He then said it bit him, but it didn't break the skin.
He said everyone else was dumbfounded because he just reached out and grabbed it.
He said where he is apparently doesn't care and he told us if he dies from rabies, we know why.
I'm sad he got bit and I hope he'll be okay but that is badass >8u
He just grabbed a frenzied animal right out of the air with his bare hand \u8</
I've only been bitten a few times by animals.
Mostly cats and my dog and once by a friend's hamster.
My cat bites me if I annoy her, but her bites don't hurt.
She never bites me too hard because she doesn't want to hurt me, but she wants me to back off.
My dog bit me because I got between him and my cat.
He was biting at her and I put my hand out and he bit me.
It was the first and really only dog bite I've ever gotten that did actual damage.
I was bleeding a lot and my fingers hurt.
It took a good while for it to heal and people kept saying my hand looked infected and I needed to see a doctor.
But I was okay. And got some new scars.
My friend's hamster bit me because I picked it up, I guess.
I'd never been around hamsters and I was little so I probably scared it.
I know animals like bats, raccoons and rats can carry rabies, but it's hard for me to be scared of things I find cute? I'm also not scared of snakes or lizards, but I won't go near dangerous ones.
I'm also not an animal expert, but I spend most of my time watching people and animals act.
If I were to see an animal acting out of the norm, I'd avoid it.
I once caught a rat that got into my aunt's house.
It was in the bathroom when my sister went in there.
I grabbed a towel and caught it and threw it outside.
I was afraid my aunt would be pissed at me because she wanted to kill it, but she was flabbergasted.
She was like "You CAUGHT it!? A RAT!? You're not scared of RATS!?" and I was like "Nope ._."
Then she had a raccoon outside of her house when she went to throw trash out.
She called me over and she asked if I was scared of raccoons. I said "Nope ._." and she asked me to take her trash out for her.
Have you ever been bitten by an animal?
