  • I've heard of rubber chickens before the hockey game, but not a live chicken.

  • Welcome to watch Mojo.

  • And today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 wildest animal incidents in sports.

  • Three points, Australia.

  • There's a dog on the ground.

  • It's got everything.

  • There's a dog out on the ground as well.

  • Can you believe this?

  • And if this Cowboys season doesn't go the way, it was expected to blame that guy.

  • This is incredible.

  • It's making a run for it for this list.

  • We're looking at moments when animals crashed major sporting events.

  • Which animal incident made your jaw drop or had you laughing hysterically?

  • Let us know in the comments.

  • Number 10.

  • Rally Squirrel.

  • There's a squirrel that ran right in front home plate during a postseason game between the ST Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies.

  • A squirrel captured the attention of baseball fans when it ran across the plate in Busch Stadium and then into the stands.

  • Distracted by the squirrel, Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt threw a pitch that was considered to be a ball, which irked both the Phillies player and the manager, who later said he would have shot the squirrel if he'd been armed.

  • The ST Louis Cardinals, for their part, considered the rodent, which they nicknamed Rally Squirrel, a good luck charm for contributing to the mo mentum that would win them the 2011 world.

  • Siri's new Cardinals world number nine Black cat curses the Chicago Cubs, Sometimes a cat running loose in a baseball stadium, could be good luck for the team at bat like Rally Cat was for the ST Louis Cardinals in 2017.

  • However, Ah, visit from a black cat didn't work out so well for the Chicago Cubs during a September game.

  • Back in 1969 the Cubs were leading the New York Mets in the pennant chase until a black cat darted past Cubs third baseman Ron Santo.

  • Before he went to bat, the cat would prance around near the Cubs dugout, at one point, even staring players down after the cat left the field.

  • The Cubs went on to lose that game to the Mets, who would later win the World Series that year.

  • Many believe the cat jinx the team, which is why the incident is often considered another infamous moment for one of the unluckiest teams in baseball.

  • Why didn't walk in front of our dugout instead of the Met stuck out.

  • I got no idea.

  • Number eight Manu Ginobili versus the bat in October 2009 game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings was interrupted when a bat flew in and wreaked havoc in the arena.

  • Here's the outlet pass.

  • There's the bat.

  • Spurs shooting guard Manu Ginobili stepped up and took on the bat, slapping it down with one hand and then picking it up to get rid of it.

  • A.

  • A similar event occurred in 2013, when a bat disrupted a college basketball game between Marquette and Providence.

  • However, no one confronted the creature.

  • Add bats.

  • Water to Ginobili's many accolades led to a series of vaccinations.

  • He was, I want to say it was a very painful process.

  • Number seven Bees swarm training game here.

  • There they are.

  • Another question is, how do we get them out of here?

  • Given the bitter rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox, it takes something serious to distract sports fans from it.

  • Something like bees.

  • Oh yeah, sheriff, getting the catcher's equipment bag.

  • That would be great.

  • Somebody's love is really a becoming like a beehive.

  • During a 2014 spring training game between the two teams, Bees swarmed onto the field during the third inning, temporarily halting the game.

  • When the grounds crew was working on the problem, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira hilariously picked up some honey jars to see if they would help solve things.

  • Of course, this wasn't the only such incident which could be concerning for fans attending the game, especially those who are allergic.

  • A similar incident involving bees occurred at a May 2013 game between the Anaheim Angels and the Baltimore Orioles.

  • They have swarmed right on the screen behind home plate, where the Grahovo camera the remote operated, is located on.

  • UH, you can see how many of them are there.

  • Here's hoping there isn't a hidden correlation between these and baseball.

  • Number six.

  • A Seagull Steel.

  • Steve Lowry's golf ball.

  • While playing on the 17th hole at the 1998 Players Championship, golfer Steve Lowery came across unusual interference.

  • Siddall is, uh, hey wants to take it home for a souvenir.

  • Lowry legally and fable just laugh.

  • After Lowry's ball landed, a seagull picked it up flew away with it, then dropped it in the water.

  • Oh, does that count as an official ball in the water?

  • Fortunately for Lowry, he was not penalized and was able to hit the ball again without the Seagull having any effect on this score.

  • Nonetheless, it is kind of scary to think that all of your hard work could be ruined by some confused bird who shows up from the middle of nowhere.

  • Anything can happen at 17.

  • Number five Mick Fanning attacked by a shark When the worlds of animals in sports intersect, it can play out is cute or at worst, annoying.

  • But for Australian surfer Mick Fanning, things got downright terrifying at the 2015 J Bay Open in South Africa.

  • Just jumped like a Y.

  • And then they just kept coming at my board.

  • And I just like kicking and screaming And well, while the three time S P world champion was competing in the final round, a great white shark popped out and dragged him underwater, causing a broadcaster to curse live on air.

  • It's holy shit!

  • Excuse me.

  • Fanning retaliated by literally punching back and aided by competitors.

  • Julian Wilson was able to make it back to shore in one piece.

  • Big sigh of relief, seeing fanning in one piece as we saw the fin out the back.

  • Wow!

  • During its rampage, the horse crushed a baby carriage, but miraculously the two month old infant inside the carriage was not harmed Fortunately, neither the baby nor the horse were hurt, but the baby's parents were treated for shock.

  • The horse then ran into the betting parlor before it was eventually subdued.

  • I do believe that the horse is now being caught, Andi.

  • Obviously the attack will be taken off.

  • The cause of the incident was thought to have been formidable Flame being upset by the crowds to all those planning on attending a horse race in the near future.

  • Do not anger the horses.

  • Number two A kangaroo pretends to be a race car as cars were buzzing by at the 2007 V eight Supercar Championship in New South Wales.

  • One kangaroo got the bright idea to join the race.

  • When cars saw the kangaroo hopping in the middle of the track, several swerved to avoid hitting the marsupial with at least one car veering off track.

  • Somehow they all avoided that kangaroo at the top of the hill we've seen, it's amazing.

  • That was amazing vision.

  • Fortunately for animal lovers, the kangaroo was able to leave the track unscathed.

  • In the seventh inning, a dove flew in front of home plate and, upon contact with one of Johnson's fastballs, exploded, leaving only a pile of feathers.
