The closest I've ever come to being attacked by a wild animal is being nipped by a rock hyrax on Table Mountain, though. Hyraxes are the closest living relatives of elephants, not that you'd guess that by looking at either of them. Although now that I think about elephants, there was that one bull elephant who seriously considered charging our vehicle in Samburu (or was it Masai Mara?) a few years ago. Hyraxes? Elephants? Phaah! Ever been to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park in Colorado? That's the site of my only "wildlife attack". A vicious and highly aggressive pack of ground squirrels! The little buggers would come right up under the picnic table at the campsite, and nip at your toes. The message was for us to get out so they could move in on the chips and fritos for themselves. Such a terrifying experience, I have never returned! SMH |
