His lips swelled to twice their size as his little body was overcome. His mother said that he vomited and had seizures when they got to the hospital."

http://www.abc22now.com/shared/news/top-stories/stories/wkef_thousands-bees-attack-texas-couple-kill-miniature-horses-14963.shtml
Quote: "Beauregard said she noticed nothing out of the ordinary as she exercised Trump, a Shetland pony, until he started jumping and kicking. Suddenly, a dark cloud of bees appeared and began stinging both of them. When efforts to swipe the bees off failed, she jumped into the pool and Trump followed. She escaped into the house, with bees flying behind her and crashing into windows. Horrified, she watched Trump frantically run all over the yard, rubbing against bushes to wipe off the bees and stumbling. Her boyfriend, whom she declined to identify, called 911 as the bees overwhelmed Trump and a second horse, Chip. 'It looked like they were moving because they were so covered in bees,' Beauregard said, breaking into tears."
Note: Events like this are why I watch bee attacks. A swarm of bees can be vastly more deadly than any bear or tiger or shark. One-on-one, human-versus-bee, no problem (unless you're allergic). But that's not how bees work. They bring an army...
2013-07-25 - Wild pig attacks and injures boy at beach in Queensland (Australia):
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/boy-survives-feral-pig-attack/story-e6frg6nf-1226684893735
Quote: "Russell Wild, Cairns Regional Council co-ordinator for natural areas management, says wild pig attacks are rare but can result in serious injuries. 'The pig for whatever reason has had a go at the boy,' he said. 'This is absolutely out of the ordinary.'"
Note: They are omniverous, like us. I imagine that once their normal food dies off, they may very well turn to us as a source of food. This seems similar to the six feral cats that attacked and seriously injured a woman in Italy, as mentioned in the 2013-07-24 update...

Quote: "About six cats pounced on the unnamed dog owner as she walked her poodle in the city of Belfort, in the popular Franche-Comte region, on the Swiss border, dragging her to the ground and mauling her. She was bitten repeatedly and left with a torn artery which could have proved fatal, while the dog was also badly hurt."
Note: That's scary. Pound-for-pound, cats are badass. I wouldn't wanna mess with a pack of hostile cats...

Quote: "A 22-year-old alligator handler is undergoing one of several surgeries on his arm after a 1,000-pound alligator bit him during a demonstration at a Hollywood zoo and wildlife sanctuary."
Note: What was he demonstrating? How to get eaten by a 1,000-pound alligator? I'm not blaming the 'gator here. It's a foolish risk to stick your arm down next to the mouth of an alligator. Derp...

Quote: "An adult inside the house, a friend of the child's mother, reportedly grabbed him by the hand and was taking him inside when the pit bull reportedly charged at them and lunged at the toddler, according to the police report. The encounter left the child with lacerations to the left of his eye and a missing chunk of his left cheek. Animal Control Officer Isaac Florez wrote in the report that he was able to see the child's inner jaw and facial muscles where the dog had bitten him."

http://www.wistv.com/story/22856826/woman-undergoing-treatment-after-bit-by-possible-rabid-dog
Quote: "The victim said the dog that bit her was foaming from the mouth."
Note: It may have been rabid, but not necessarily. Two lions sickened and foamed at the mouth at a zoo in Berlin, as mentioned in the 2012-08-06 update. Three high school students dropped to the ground with seizures and foaming at the mouth in El Paso Texas, as mentioned in the 2013-06-04 update. Breathing hydrogen sulfide can cause foaming at the mouth due to chemical damage to lungs. It can also cause brain damage resulting in seizures or aberrant and violent behavior, like the man who in a span of 30 minutes transformed from normal church-going guy to ravening face-eating cannibal after walking across a causeway over the ocean in Florida...
