A man in New England was attacked by a bobcat while sleeping in a hammock at the Wilderness School in Lyme, Connecticut. Other adults came to his aid and killed the bobcat. Officials believe the bobcat may have been sick or behaving abnormally, as attacks on humans are extremely rare. The campers were unharmed, and the adults were taken to the hospital for evaluation.
A man in Cambodia was killed and ripped apart by 40 crocodiles after he fell into their enclosure on a reptile farm. The victim, who owned the farm, was trying to transport a crocodile out of a cage when the creature grabbed him with its jaws and pulled him into a pool containing dozens of other crocodiles. Crocodile attacks on humans are incredibly rare, and the species do not usually eat humans, although they can become agitated when provoked or threatened.
