Biker attacked in Africa.

This has got to be one of the most bizarre animal attacks.

That wasn't an "animal attack" per se, the buck just happened to be running along when the bicyclist crossed his path. Believe me, they do not have the intelligence to alter course to avoid a collision. In Wisconsin we think that they actually wait by the side of the road for a vehicle to approach and then with perfect timing, run out in front of it. If there is such a thing as negative intelligence, this species has it.

Saw that earlier.

Had to hurt.

Guess it did not like being pointed at.

That is a better tackle than any made by the Eagles defense this season. Does he have an agent?

At the :03 sec mark the cyclist appears to point at it but does not slow up just a little to let it pass - FAIL
