Joe Windscheffel, a linebacker/safety for NCAA Division II power Pittsburg State, was working on a farm near Lawrence for the summer. To paint a fence along a pasture line, he had to move four zebras. The three females complied, but the male got overaggressive (typical), charged him and bit his arm. The zebra dragged the 6-foot-2, 225-pound man until two fellow farmhands came to his aid. He's left with a compound fracture

"You only see zebras on television getting eaten by lions, but they are stronger than they look," Windscheffel told the Pittsburg Morning Sun. "It was just a freak deal."
