i got attacked a few times on work experience. i had to feed the koalas, and its not cool having 14 hungry koalas jumping down from the trees and climbing up ur legs to get at the food ur holding. also had to clean out the wombat burrows, coupla nasty bites to my arms. and worst of all the otters, the devil incarnate. family of five otters, and one came around the front, stood up and distracted me while the other four went around the back and attacked my ankles and calves. all i had was a rake to get them away. i was stuck in the corner of the enclosure while the other keepers stood around laughing at me.
