    • Ok, so I kind of walked into this one. But the snake was just supposed to be draped around me, not wrapped around my neck. Suzi the snake was fine until her handler turned his back, and then she began to move in for the kill! Note the look of pain/panic on my face vs. the calm look of "oh, this happens all the time, such a silly tourist" on the face of her handler.

    • We were looking at possible accommodation at Yala Park, when this spotted deer wandered up. I went to pose for a picture with it, when it turned and bit my arm! (It didn't break the skin, but it did leave a bruise.) So, the picture is of me recoiling from the deer, and the deer looking a little ashamed. Right after that, a piece of bread came flying out from what I presume was a kitchen, and the deer gobbled it up. Lesson: Never approach hungry wildlife with nothing to offer but your flesh.
