Rooster

They don't get any stranger than this. Authorities in central California say a rooster killed a 35-year-old man while he was attending an illegal cockfight.
The man died after being cut by a razor attached to the rooster's leg. The leaders of cockfighting rings apparently attach these razors to roosters' legs -- which they use like knives during a cockfight.
When the sheriff's office raided the event, the rooster jumped at the man and accidentally severed an artery in his calf. He died at a local hospital. Authorities believe he's the first human killed by a rooster at a cockfight.

A Polish hunter who dreamed of shooting an elephant has sued a German-based travel company after it sent him to a part of Africa where he said there were no elephants to be found, a newspaper reported on Wednesday. The company, Jaworski Jagdreisen, which organizes hunting expeditions, insists there are elephants in the area of Zimbabwe it sent the hunter, identified only as Waldemar I, the Rzeczpospolita daily newspaper said. "From what I know, (the hunter) should have seen elephant excrement there," it quoted the company owner as saying. Even though the company organized a second trip for the luckless hunter during which he managed to kill a male elephant, the man still filed for damages worth $130,000 over his first expedition. A court is due to rule on his claim on February 15, the paper said.
