Today I got bitten by an elephant seal, and owwie did that hurt!
Definitely stay away from seals, mean nasty creatures. Okay, probably only when you're trying to help them at a rehab facility. But wild animals are definitely best left alone unless you cannot avoid it. And if you work with them, it's always best to use extreme caution. Even when you think someone else has got your back.

How did you get bitten by an elephant seal? Are you working in a wildlife rehab? Sorry about the bite. I hope it didn't have any rabbies. I even heard that humans have rabbies too. At this stage I would be on the evolution theory and I would say that the biggest animal that have bitten me is my friend. LOL! Well, kidding aside, the only animal that has bitten me is a dog and it was just like a scratch but it still hurt and I got scared. I don't get near animals big or small ones. I may adore them but I try to stay away from them.

Yeah, I volunteer at a wildlife rehab.
I was trying to get around the animal to help and I thought it would be okay to go around the front since someone was holding it. But they lost their grip and I got bitten.
Seals haven't gotten rabies in a long long time (at least 30 years) out here, so I'm not too worried about that. Mostly just worried about keeping the bite clean.

Owww, the one time I got kicked was much worse than any bites I ever got. Tho I did see one pretty bad bite when I was riding. And this was AFTER I had told the gal to slap the horse on the nose. But she thought it was "mean" to slap the nose, so she slap the neck - just like I would pat the neck to reward the horse. She was really lucky it was cold and she had on several layers of clothing. As it was, it ripped her coat, ripped the jeans UNDER a sweater and ripped her shirt under that!
She was a moron.

When I was going to grade school or elementary school I was grabbed by the meanest dog in the Universe. It lived in this boat house that the owner had moved to land at the top of our street and would not let anyone walk on its sidewalk. It did not exactly bite me, but I was careful to cross the street and walk on the other side from then on.
That dog hated everybody.
