Toss up between a scorpion (stung) and a vampire bat (attempted attack) and a crocodile (attempted attack). Smashed the scorpion, and cleaned the wound. Bat, I smacked it off of my head. Croc, I shot it in the head.

A lot of animals make a lunge at you, but it's not really an attack. I'd say the most exotic that actually bit me was Moray Eel, off the coast of Southern California. Seems they like Abalone and I was scraping one off of a rock for myself and he(or she, didn't get properly introduced) Bit me so I'd let the Abalone go, which I quickly did. It grabbed the falling shell and darted back in its hole. It punctured both sides of my glove but didn't bleed badly or hurt until i got on dry land and remove my neoprene.

A monkey. In Bali, they are often spoilt by the tourists, who feed them. Consequently, they will try to take food from you. They are not the cute little things you think they are. Some of the big males are as large as your average Labrador, and much more vicious. The females are bad enough, especially if they have babies and feel threatened, but a large male...all he needs to do is think that he should get fed first and he will beat up the females in front of him and then lunge at you with fangs bared. I tend to just drop the food and let him have it. I know I would come off worse. I have been attacked several times, but fortunately there were guides nearby who waded in and got me out of trouble.

A Chinchilla, my friend had one and told me to check out how soft its fur is, and the nasty little rat sunk its razor sharp fangs into my left index finger, the worst part was, it wouldnt release its jaws so I had to wave the vicious rodent around until it had enough and landed on the sofa!

A galago (bushbaby) in Zanzibar. To survive I chased it off the balcony.
