With the world getting over the death of the Crocodile Hunter, and after a scary summer of hungry sharks around our beaches, some reminders of the dangers of working around animals.
Yesterday a vet had his arm bitten off by a sick alligator he was trying to cure. Today an Argentinian Zoo Keeper died after being mauled by an ant eater and the most recent violation of the bond between man and the animals is a savageing for a teenage surfer in Western Australia by a sea lion. A very rare occurrence by all accounts.
And finally a man has died after being bitten by a poisonous snake while looking for scorpions in rural Victoria. I mean, what was he doing looking for Scorpions. What did he expect.
Obviously there are some communication issues here. Where is Doctor Dolittle when you need him. Why can't we just be friends?

Thanks for the postings - very interesting. Shani
Good Grief. An anteater. I thought they were fairly docile, or at least the one on the Pink Panther Show was...
