Well this doesn't exactly apply to your question regarding animals but I saw a guy do something really wierd.
I was on the dock a couple years ago of my local lake in San Diego and a guy was cutting something with his fillet knife sitting down on the dock with the point of the knife down. All of a sudden I hear a wierd yell and I look over and the 7" fillet knife was comletely in his upper leg. It was frieky ad the guy just had a few words to say about that and then he pulled it right out and then blood started to come out and I said I would run over to the boat dock to get the ranger and some first0aid stuff and I ran as fast as I could and after I told the ranger what happened he took his time and dlowly walked over there. I was about to yell at him to get his A$& over there or give me the first aid kit. So he got there finally and helped him.

Another time I was up in NorCal at Lake Pardee and I was walking the shore and came around a point and ran into a couple uuuhhh you know.

I think those were the most wierd things I have ever seen.
