I love animals. Most of us do! But the one thing most of realize is that you shouldn't go up to ANY wild animal and try to pet. It just usually doesn't go well.

Case in point, is a story out of Assateague Island, Maryland. A tourist, wearing a small black Speedo bathing suit, learned the hard way not to pet a wild animal. AND there's video!

The man touched a wild horse that was walking near people on the beach. When he did, the horse kicked him with one of its hind legs, RIGHT in the man's "bathing suit" area. Back kick to the bags! Yep! This guy caught it right in his Speedo zone.

I'm guessing this man learned his lesson quickly! Doubting he's on the beach today. I'd bet he's inside with some ice. Ouch!

Here's the video of the event.
