Animal bites |
An
animal bite is a wound, usually a puncture
or laceration, caused by the teeth. An animal
bite usually results in a break in the skin
but also includes contusions from the excessive
pressure on body tissue from the bite. The
contusions can occur without a break in
the skin. Bites can be provoked or unprovoked.
Other bite attacks may be apparently unprovoked.
Biting is a physical action not only describing
an attack but it is a normal response in
an animal as it eats, carries objects, softens
and prepares food for its young, removes
ectoparasites from its body surface, removes
plant seeds attached to its fur or hair,
scratching itself, and grooming other animals.
Animal bites often result in serious infections
and mortality. Animal bites not only include
injuries from the teeth of reptiles, mammals,
but fish, and amphibians. Arthropods can
also bite and leave injuries.
