[MUSIC PLAYING] All new tonight, we don't know what he's angry about. A turkey on the attack. Animals attack. He just jumps up and bites me, and I'm like, oh, my gosh. I just got bit by a bunny. With Brad and John. There's the monkey on the front porch. K-I-S-N. Hey, crawl jumped up my back and landed on my head. Brad handfuls of hair and just ripped it out. Animals attacking for real animal attack stories. We do not embellish the facts of these stories in any way, however. We will engage in nonsensical speculation, if that's a word. This animal this morning, I checked the records, and we have never had this animal featured in animals, animals attack before. This is a house pet that nearly killed dad. This story comes to us from the UK, and the animal in question here is the family pet hamster. Dad nearly died after a bite from the hamster. All right, here's how the story goes. 34-year-old dad experienced a terrifying moment after almost dying when the pet hamster clamped down on his hand and would not let go. Lock jaw. The dad sat down and says here peacefully with the hamster a Syrian hamster. I don't know what the difference is between a Syrian hamster and any other hamster, but for the record, that's what it was. When suddenly, the hamster attacked him and left him for dead. Dad then experienced an anaphylactic shock, and moments after she, female hamster, bit him, his body swelled up, he could not breathe, and he was covered in hives. That's when you put the hamster under the wheel instead of on the hamster wheel. So his wife struggled to get this hamster off him, because I guess like-- Oh, those buck teeth? She just sank her teeth, this hamster, to into this guy, into dad and wouldn't let go. And then she calls 911. I guess the hamster had been looking frail for the last few days leading up to this incident. Oh, the kids didn't feed it? I don't know. So once they took this hamster off a dad, the hamster just died. In the ambulance, dad, they say, was on death's door and was given a couple shots of adrenaline and put on oxygen. He said my whole body felt swollen. My throat hurt. I couldn't even speak. It was like breathing through a straw. I was completely covered in hives. And so they go to work on him and help him out there. Something in the saliva from that thing? I don't know. He's allergic to hamsters, I guess. It's where we're as well who's what we get. He says they gave me epipens for the next time a hamster wants to take me on. Who's bringing home a hamster after that? Well, yeah, I think that they're banned from the house. Sorry, kids. Could kill dad. Anaphylactic shocks like these from hamster bites. It says here are extremely rare. But a guy did die from one in 2007. So it's not unheard of. When Taryn was married before and her husband at the time, they were camping way up on like a highway 20 somewhere or the North Cascades Highway. And he got stung by a bee and when the same thing kind of happened, the swelling, the highs couldn't breathe the whole deal. And she had to throw him in the car and race him back down to the first place you could find coming down like that had an epipen. Yeah, it was extremely scary. Well, you're not going to know, right? Until you get actually stung or bit by one of these animals. So there's your out. If you don't want any hamsters in the house, you tell the kids, hey, we could be allergic. You can't have enough. Share that story. Knucklehead's coming here in less than 40 minutes. It's more of Rad and John next. ♪ She, I, is him ♪
