Animal uprising: maybe they are sick of being mascots

A couple of strange animal related sports injuries occurred recently:

- A South Carolina golfer lost an arm when he was attacked by a 10 ft alligator while trying to retrieve his wayward ball from a pond. The arm was recovered but it doesn't sound like they were able to reattach it. That is a harsh penalty for hitting into a hazard.

Golfers also need to be on the look out for snakes (example 1 example 2) when looking for that lost Titleist.

- A 7 year old Ohio boy was tackled by a blitzing deer during a backyard football game. Fortunately young Wyatt Pugh was OK other than bruises and a laceration.
