Cool! I’ve been bitten by:

Goose
Monkey
Alligator
Cow
Goat
Ground Hog
Iguana
Duck
Fish
and of course, cats and dogs.

I’m sure I’m missing a few a that I can’t think of.

You really should add the Antwerp Zoo in Belgium to your travel plans. You could add a whole bunch of animals to your list in a matter of seconds. Head straight for the little island where the monkeys run around loose for a start, but make sure to go over where the baboons are running around all out in the open, too. I’m sure you could even add the cheetahs to your collection.

Funny, I was talking to a friend about this very topic over the weekend. He’s been bitten by a police horse (in New Orleans), a monkey and a parrot. I think he’s also been bitten by a rabbit, but he claims that although the encounter ended with him bleeding, that he wasn’t actually bitten.

Once I was on a school field trip to a petting zoo and there was a sign on an enclosure that read “do not feed the ostrich.” Take one highly empathetic young girl, a hungry and particularly moody ostrich and a handful of animal vittles and you get the idea. By the way, ostrich bites DO hurt and draw blood – and can have the worse effect of having your parents start looking into rabies shots. (I escaped that fate by a hair.)

Yes – I’m a wimp. That elephant thing – now THAT is impressive.

Some friends of mine have a particularly evil housecat you might like to meet.

This sounds quite similar to a guide I’m currently writing, except instead of being bitten by animals, I’m showing how best to have sex with them.

I’m doing it alphabetically. On dolphin right now.

Bravo for incorporating the word “psittacine” into your post. This word is so obscure even my Firefox spell check didn’t believe you.

You have GOT to get yourself to the Lisbon Zoo. You will simply not believe your eyes when you get to the elephant enclosure. If you’re of even moderate height, you should be able to get your arm bitten clear off.

You may also want to try one of those drive-through safaris, as this will afford you close access to all sorts of vicious monkeys, giraffes and, on a good day, a variety of large carnivorous cats.

I was bitten by an ant once. In other news, I drove over a bird once. I maintained eye contact with one of them red-butt monkeys once. I think I’m ready for the elephant.
