We thought it was over. We were too wrong. The Zoopocalypse continues with a terrifying level of violence. Two stunning events from today
Event 1: War Eagles Attack
Britain's top female paraglider has cheated death after being attacked by a pair of "screeching" wild eagles while competition flying in Australia.
Nicky Moss, 38, watched terrified as two huge birds began tearing into her parachute canopy, one becoming tangled in her lines and clawing at her head 2,500 meters (8,200ft) in the air.
"I heard screeching behind me and a eagle flew down and attacked me, swooping down and bouncing into the side of my wing with its claws," Moss told Reuters on Friday.
"Then another one appeared and together they launched a sustained attack on my glider, tearing at the wing."

Event 2: Do NOT Call Sharks "BabyCakes"
A crew aboard a shrimping boat were rescued after a group of bull sharks rammed and bit the vessel until it eventually sank off the Florida coast, according to an Associated Press report.
Captain Roger Schmall said a group of sharks had been slamming into the Christy Nichole's hull for four days. But then a 14-foot bull shark broke the boat's tail shaft, leaving Schmall and his crew of two adrift about 100 miles off the coast.

Oh, crap...we've gone and done it now. Liberal tree-huggers, help us! The
human race has finally ticked off the animals one too many times, and now
they are striking back! What to do..what to do? Should we make human
sacrifices to them? Would that be enough? Perhaps a seat in Congress? Maybe
a majority shareholder's position in Exxon? Promise to return all the trees we
have used, albeit in a slightly different form? I've got it,...turn the entire
country vegetarian. Oh my God,..tell us what to do!!!!
