Although it can be humorous for
some onlookers, for the victims it can be "shocking" and
"frightening" and have a lasting impact.
Steven Kendall-Torry, from
Sidmouth in Devon, said his six-year-old daughter was "beside herself with
shock" after a seagull stole her ice cream from her hand in the town.
He said: "The seagull was
bigger than her and it just came from nowhere. She has been very cautious
around seagulls since.
"She could have been hurt.
It's the bravery of the seagulls that's scary."

A
terrified angler beat off a pack of ravenous mink with his landing net after
they attacked him while he was fishing on the river bank.
Mr.Johnstone
said that at least four mink leapt out of the bushes close to him at the river
Avon near Ringwood in Hampshire.
It is
the first attack on a human by the hungry predators since about six thousand of
them were released by animal activists from a new forest fur farm.
One
thousand have been recaptured and many have been shot by local farmers and land
owners.Althrough up to one thousand five hundred is thought to be still at
large.

"It was very surreal,”
Webb told WNCT-TV. “It was a shock. It was very humbling
to say the least, when you walk up on a beast that big and you say, 'Oh my
gosh. I had no idea that there could be something that big running around the
woods of Eastern North Carolina.’"
The beast had been seen on
trail camera footage years ago, but hunters had failed to capture it until
Webb, who says he fired a single shot from a .308-caliber AR-15 rifle from
about 50 yards, took it down.
"The Mohawk down the
back, the tusks really lean, the muscular big front end," Webb said.
"This is far from a domesticated docile pig that we're used to." Wild
boars typically weigh between 100 and 200 pounds.
