BITES!

Looks like a black bear for color.

Other animals that bit me are my crested gecko, parakeet, my old hamster, and various dogs. Usually nothing serious.

Worst cut was a shard of glass in a trash bag. It broke through. Slit my leg open, inch and a half across but deep. It went to the point where I only felt a scratch, then noticed the blood coming. No stiches, but I needed to get that glue that is essentially the same thing.

So from what I always heard was once a rodent has tasted human blood that they start to crave it and go out of their way to get it any chance they get. Any truth behind this or is this all a wives tale that I've been told all my life?

Ik hamsters will eat their own babies if they are touched but I think that's more of a defensive behavior rather then a offensive one.

Never heard that one before, I think it is just part of people marking up reasons to hate rats and mice.
Yeah the hamster babies is defensive...seems counterintuitive.

Well they do spend allot of resources and energy in producing babies and honestly it's better to eat em yourself and regain some of all that back rather then letting a predator take it from ya.

Lol honestly surprised he didn't bite thru the hook. Looks like he's got strong enough teeth for it atleast.

We here in San Diego catch these fish. California Sheephead. Imagine if this grabbed ahold of a mans body part ?.



Edit: the reason they have those teeth is because they eat crustaceans such as shrimp, which is what most people catch them on. The eat Mole Crabs, Smaller Fish, Squid, Clams, and etc. They take the food and use the back of their mouth to crack it open. Then they eat! Exactly like the sunfish called a Shellcracker/Redear Sunfish/Sun Perch.
