DAVIE, Fla. A man who paid $150 for a full-contact experience with a black leopard says he had to undergo multiple surgeries after he was mauled by the fully-grown animal in an enclosure behind a Davie home.

Investigators say Poggi charged the 50-year-old Turner $150 for a full-contact experience with his black leopard to play with it, rub its belly and take pictures.

I hiked and camped at Point Reyes (north of San Francisco) a few years ago, and I almost exited my tent at night with a flashlight to see what kind of giant bird (presumed) was keeping me awake.
