American fauna sure seem to be causing a fuss lately. Check out these stories!

Jaws 5

The 5th unprovoked shark attack this year occurred in 18 inches of water. The shark in North Carolina attacked a six year old girl, who will recover. While she harbors a little hostility towards the species as a whole, she says she forgives the beast that bit her twice in the right leg.

Grin and Bear it

A grizzly bear attacked 4 teenagers who were on a survival camping excursion in Alaska last week. The four appear to be healing well and have begun to return to their home states. Alaskan officials have said that this kind of attack is incredibly rare, akin to being struck by lightening.

The Great Wild Horse Triatholon begins! If only they knew how to ride a bike…

Every year, tourists come to Assateague islands in Maryland to encounter a unique tourist attraction: WILD HORSES.

Last summer, this correspondent witnessed up close and personal the Assateague Horse experience while camping on the island.

The horses walk through the streets like they own the place. This is quite curious and exciting to observe. Less interesting is engaging a wandering horse when it stumbles into your tent late in the night.

The annual Pony Swim starts today. Ponies are rounded up, herded into the sea where they swim to nearby Chincoteague island. There they will be auctioned off.

Local authorities are questioningwhether or not the ponies should remain wild in the future.

It seems the “mischievous little buggers” are becoming so accustomed to humans that they are becoming a nuisance.

What do you think? Leave them wild? Or do you reign them in?
