AB Both  domestic  and  wild  animals  can  attack  humans.  Injuries  are  caused  by  combinations  of  penetrating  and  blunt  trauma.  Penetrating  injuries  can  be  inflicted  by  teeth,  claws,  and  horns,  while  severe  blunt  injuries  may  result  from  the  victim  being  knocked  over,  trampled  or  otherwise  crushed,  thrown  into  the  air,  or  dragged.  Injuries  may  involve  massive  tissue  injury  or  avulsion  often  associated  with  neurovascular  damage  and  long  bone  fractures.
