Totally Insane and Dangerous Wild Animal Encounters

Highland Cow Charge

Turns out, these beautiful creatures are pretty aggressive in the wild, just ask this Scottish biker...

"I was cycling up a mountain in the Scottish Highlands (my gran lives there), and as I went round a corner, I came face to face with a huuuuge highland cow which was running down the mountain the opposite way. Instead of jumping off the path I thought the cow would be friendly and edge over to let me by: big mistake… it threw its head as I went by, almost impaling me and throwing me off the path and into a 20ft tumble down the mountain."
