It's never nice to read these stories, but a woman
in the US has been attacked by an animal.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh, no. I know.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm going to give you the headline and then I
want you and the producers to fill in the blank, okay?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Right.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So it says a US woman was left needing multiple
stitches after a rare attack from a relentless and aggressive blank.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh, right. Okay. Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
A rare attack from a relentless and aggressive blank.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Now, I know it's not going to be an obvious one,
so I'm going to go with a U.S. woman was
left needing stitches after a rare and aggressive attack from
a chinchilla.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
No, not chinchilla.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I assume she got attacked and needed stitches because of
a raccoon.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Ooh, that is so cute. Actually is a great guess. Hey, thanks.
But it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I reckon a raccoon would get you too.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
They do.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
They always are in rubbish bins.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I like their evil little hands. They're so cute.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You only know that because you're always in rubbish bins though.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Hey, there's some good finds dumpster diving.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Ella?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
A beaver.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
A beaver?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah. They're dangerous. Ella is wrong, but she is the closest.
A US woman was left needing multiple stitches after a
rare attack from a relentless and aggressive otter.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
An otter.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
You're my favourite. The cutest little animals.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Swimming instructor Lynette Bellen was out for a dip in
a lake. It is the lake, Lake Tahoe. This was
a couple of days ago. However, her swim on Sunday
was cut short after she felt something powerful grab her,
she said.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Did otter and powerful go in the same sentence? I
wouldn't say so. I didn't think so, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
She went on to describe the ordeal that she felt
like it was powerful and it was a human that
had grabbed her.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
A human?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Before she turned around and spotted the otter. The otter
started coming after me, she said, teeth and claws. And,
you know, my only thought was I need to get
away from this. She said the attack continued to get
more and more aggressive and estimates that it went on
for around five minutes until she was eventually able to
(02:27):
climb up on some rocks and make her way back
to dry land. After she got out of the water,
she noticed that she was covered in blood due to
the bites across her face, arms, legs and feet. She
was met by first responders who called an ambulance. She
was later taken to the hospital where she had 38 stitches.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Terrifying. Awful. 38 stitches? How scary.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Do you think if she died that people would have
been able to not laugh at her funeral because she
was killed by an otter?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
It's a wild story.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I just googled what does an otter weigh. Because I
was like, how can they do all of this? Did
you know that some otters can weigh up to 45 kgs?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah. What?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
My golden retriever, who you've met, who's enormous, is 38 kgs.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Oh, this changes it. No, I thought an otter was
like a cat size.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
An adult otter weighs anywhere from 1 to 45 kgs,
depending entirely on species.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But... Asian small clawed otter?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
North American river otter, sea otter, and giant otter.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I've never heard of a giant otter before.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
A giant otter? Never heard of that. I've just heard
of the.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Little cute ones.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
The giant otter is a South American carnivorous mammal.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Right, so it wouldn't have been one of those.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
The longest member of the weasel family can reach up
to 1.8 metres long.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I've never even heard of that.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's almost as long as me and 45 kilos.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
So because she was in Lake Tahoe, it's not one
of those.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
North America. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
That's probably like a hairy-nosed otter. The cute ones.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
God.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Not a beaver though.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I wonder if a beaver has ever attacked.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
If you get a beaver, if you back a beaver
into a corner, I reckon they would go you.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I'm just Googling. Do beavers attack?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
They've got those big two front teeth.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Beavers do attack humans and pets, but these attacks are
rare and usually happen only when the animal has rabies.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, this woman had to get multiple rabies shots after
her otter attack.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, I'll bet.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But she believes that the otter was protecting its babies.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
God, imagine if your beaver got rabies.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah, it'd foam from the mouth.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
There's a vaccine for that, eh?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
For rabies?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, beaver rabies.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I don't know if they've got that far yet.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh, okay. Well, I'll work on that one.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
We want to know this afternoon on 0800 dials at M,
what's the cute creature that attacked you?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You know, shouldn't have. But it did. I think back
to when I was attacked by a swan as a child.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Swans are aggressive.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
On the Rotorua Lakefront.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And they hiss.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah. One of those big black buggers.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, they're so scary.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the white ones. I've never
been attacked by a white one.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Oh, they all attack if they've got babies, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah, they will stand their ground. What about geese? Geese
are terrified.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Have you been attacked by a geese?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I've been attacked by a bin chicken.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh, yeah, an ibis. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
You hit me on the arm when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I don't mean to victim blame, but I imagine you
provoked the ibis.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I was trying to feed the ibis.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Feed it what?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh, probably something it didn't like, like vegan cheese or something.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
0800 dials at M, or you can text it to 9696.
The creature was cute.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
But it attacked you. That's what we want to know about.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You're like, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What the hell?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I don't think cute things attacked.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Mum, I think I've got beaver rabies.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
We're asking what's the cute animal that attacked you?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, after a woman in the US has been attacked
by an otter.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
We're learning so much about otters today. We were like, oh,
an otter would never. Someone texted in and said, I've
seen otters fight. It's one of the most aggressive things
I have ever seen.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
They are ferocious.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, what about the other text that said beavers can
be vicious? Watching two beavers smash into each other is
quite intense.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I'll bet it is.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You've got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Coralie, how are you doing?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Hi, good, thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You've ever witnessed a beaver fight?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I'm not quite sure where that conversation is going.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
The last time I did Coraline, I was like, damn,
that is scary.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Please get this back on track, Coraline. What is the
cute animal that you were attacked by?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So when I was younger, I was kissing my pony
on the nose and I was like, you know, doing like, like.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Probably fast kisses. Yes, you do. And I think he
got annoyed with me and then he decided to bite
me on the nose.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
A horse bite hurts like nothing else.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And I'm probably really lucky.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. Yeah, you're lucky.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, you're lucky.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I guess what other defence do they have? They don't
have a hand to push you away.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
They can kick you bad.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No. They can't say, unless it's Mr. Ed, they can't say...
Please stop that.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, I hate that, Coraline.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I'm not enjoying this. All right, glad you're okay, Coraline.
We appreciate it. Someone said I had a bunny rabbit
attack me. Bunny thing pissed on me and then bit me.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Bunny rabbit bites.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
That feels personal, doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Really hurt. I've been bit by a bunny rabbit.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Someone who's been attacked by a donkey. I've heard that
about donkeys.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
We had donkeys at the farm where we got married. Oh, really?
And you're allowed to have photos with them, but the
donkey has to stay behind an electric fence because if
they go.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
We have donkeys on the farm now.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Do you? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, actually, I don't know if my parents still have them,
but they got a donkey to look after the sheep
because the dingoes kept taking.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
All the lambs and eating them.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And then the donkey was pretty dumb and was not
doing anything. So then dad bought another donkey because you
have to have more than one donkey because they get
really lonely.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
And so we had two donkeys and they were quite scary.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
They're pretty big.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Gang up on you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
They charged at my brother one day.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
One of your more Australian stories.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Someone said, I was attacked by a clownfish when I
was snorkelling in Fiji trying to get a good shot
of it, trying to get a good shot of a
sea anemone. I choked with laughter so hard as it
swam at me and bit my index finger. Oh, my God,
you got attacked by Nemo.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
A fish?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Do fish bite?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah. Are you a fish bite? Really? Really? Yeah, well,
how do you think they ate? They didn't bite the hook. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
You know, kind of like, you know, someone who has
no teeth.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And they just kind of like.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Another one. I got bit by a Nemo clownfish while snorkeling.
It left a mark.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Turns out they have sharp teeth and they are dicks.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Is that two different people?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Two different people have been attacked by Nemo clownfish.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Angry little fish. Someone said when I was younger, oh, no,
we had that person on the phone. When I was 18,
I rescued two ferrets. The next morning, I got one
out to cuddle it. It immediately leapt at my face
and bit me. The little shits gave me, they have
a lock jaw.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
My stepdad wanted to strangle it to get it off me.
Through my tears, I managed to get it off. How's
cuddling a random ferret that you found? Talk about rabies.
Do you have ferrets in New Zealand? Yeah, we've got
ferrets and stoats. They eat all the native bird eggs.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I've never seen a ferret.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I don't think we have them in Australia.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Don't you?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Someone else texted in and they said, my daughter got
attacked by a ladybird. It bit her when it fell
off the table at the beer garden.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
We're enjoying lunch. Multiple little sores like spider bites. True story.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
From a ladybug. But they're so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Ladybugs are so cute.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Another ferret story. I got attacked by a baby ferret.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The owner said this ferret never bites.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It bloody did.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It found the soft skin between my thumb and index
finger and hung on for dear life with me shaking
the crap out of my hand trying.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
To get it off. It was cute, but it had
sharp teeth and I found out the hard way.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Ferrets sound aggressive.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Someone else said I got bit by my pet sheep, Alfred,
when patting him and it made my fingernail fall off. Ow!
Speaker 3 (11:11):
My daughter looks darn cute, but she can be physically
aggressive in a good rage.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, those toddlers, man.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
There's nothing like a human bite.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
You know, or a human scratch. They're the worst.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Except for beaver.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
What?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
A beaver scratch?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, that can be nasty.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, get that checked out.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
You hit me on the arm when I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I don't mean to victim blame, but I imagine you
provoked the ibis.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I was trying to feed the ibis.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Feed it what?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh, probably something it didn't like, like vegan cheese or something.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
0800 dials at M, or you can text it to 9696.
The creature was cute.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
But it attacked you. That's what we want to know about.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You're like, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What the hell?
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I don't think cute things attacked.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Mum, I think I've got beaver rabies.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
We're asking what's the cute animal that attacked you?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, after a woman in the US has been attacked
by an otter.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
We're learning so much about otters today. We were like, oh,
an otter would never. Someone texted in and said, I've
seen otters fight. It's one of the most aggressive things
I have ever seen.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
They are ferocious.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, what about the other text that said beavers can
be vicious? Watching two beavers smash into each other is
quite intense.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I'll bet it is.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You've got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Coralie, how are you doing?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Hi, good, thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You've ever witnessed a beaver fight?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I'm not quite sure where that conversation is going.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
The last time I did Coraline, I was like, damn,
that is scary.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Please get this back on track, Coraline. What is the
cute animal that you were attacked by?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So when I was younger, I was kissing my pony
on the nose and I was like, you know, doing like, like.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Probably fast kisses. Yes, you do. And I think he
got annoyed with me and then he decided to bite
me on the nose.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
A horse bite hurts like nothing else.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And I'm probably really lucky.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah. Yeah, you're lucky.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, you're lucky.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I guess what other defence do they have? They don't
have a hand to push you away.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
They can kick you bad.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No. They can't say, unless it's Mr. Ed, they can't say...
Please stop that.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, I hate that, Coraline.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I'm not enjoying this. All right, glad you're okay, Coraline.
We appreciate it. Someone said I had a bunny rabbit
attack me. Bunny thing pissed on me and then bit me.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Bunny rabbit bites.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
That feels personal, doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Really hurt. I've been bit by a bunny rabbit.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Someone who's been attacked by a donkey. I've heard that
about donkeys.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
We had donkeys at the farm where we got married. Oh, really?
And you're allowed to have photos with them, but the
donkey has to stay behind an electric fence because if
they go.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
We have donkeys on the farm now.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Do you? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, actually, I don't know if my parents still have them,
but they got a donkey to look after the sheep
because the dingoes kept taking.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
All the lambs and eating them.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And then the donkey was pretty dumb and was not
doing anything. So then dad bought another donkey because you
have to have more than one donkey because they get
really lonely.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
And so we had two donkeys and they were quite scary.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
They're pretty big.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Gang up on you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
They charged at my brother one day.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
One of your more Australian stories.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Someone said, I was attacked by a clownfish when I
was snorkelling in Fiji trying to get a good shot
of it, trying to get a good shot of a
sea anemone. I choked with laughter so hard as it
swam at me and bit my index finger. Oh, my God,
you got attacked by Nemo.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
A fish?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Do fish bite?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah. Are you a fish bite? Really? Really? Yeah, well,
how do you think they ate? They didn't bite the hook. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
You know, kind of like, you know, someone who has
no teeth.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
And they just kind of like.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Another one. I got bit by a Nemo clownfish while snorkeling.
It left a mark.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Turns out they have sharp teeth and they are dicks.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Is that two different people?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Two different people have been attacked by Nemo clownfish.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Angry little fish. Someone said when I was younger, oh, no,
we had that person on the phone. When I was 18,
I rescued two ferrets. The next morning, I got one
out to cuddle it. It immediately leapt at my face
and bit me. The little shits gave me, they have
a lock jaw.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
My stepdad wanted to strangle it to get it off me.
Through my tears, I managed to get it off. How's
cuddling a random ferret that you found? Talk about rabies.
Do you have ferrets in New Zealand? Yeah, we've got
ferrets and stoats. They eat all the native bird eggs.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I've never seen a ferret.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I don't think we have them in Australia.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Don't you?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Someone else texted in and they said, my daughter got
attacked by a ladybird. It bit her when it fell
off the table at the beer garden.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
We're enjoying lunch. Multiple little sores like spider bites. True story.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
From a ladybug. But they're so beautiful.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Ladybugs are so cute.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Another ferret story. I got attacked by a baby ferret.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The owner said this ferret never bites.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It bloody did.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It found the soft skin between my thumb and index
finger and hung on for dear life with me shaking
the crap out of my hand trying.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
To get it off. It was cute, but it had
sharp teeth and I found out the hard way.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Ferrets sound aggressive.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Someone else said I got bit by my pet sheep, Alfred,
when patting him and it made my fingernail fall off. Ow!
Speaker 3 (11:11):
My daughter looks darn cute, but she can be physically
aggressive in a good rage.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, those toddlers, man.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
There's nothing like a human bite.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
You know, or a human scratch. They're the worst.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Except for beaver.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
What?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
A beaver scratch?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, that can be nasty.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, get that checked out.
