Sports are one of humanity’s greatest pastimes, and it can be a ton of fun and a great way to stay fit too. So, can you really blame an animal for trying to get in on the fun? After all, they get bored easily and need to find ways to entertain themselves. Besides, when they see their favorite humans having fun without them, they tend to feel left out. So, naturally, they’ll jump right in and try to join in from time to time, but that’s when they ruin everything. Yes! It’s true! Every now and then, an animal gets curious or excited, and decides to run across a field or fly through a basketball court. Now that sounds pretty dangerous for the animal, but it’s totally frustrating for people playing or watching professional sporting events, who have to stop everything because of an animal.Given how rough NFL players play the game and how many injuries occur as a result, it’s no wonder that the poor squirrel was probably petrified. Then again, it’s so fast, that maybe the Packers should consider making the squirrel part of the team.


Alright, so maybe it wasn’t vampires. It was really just one bat, who somehow flew into the middle of a college basketball game, forcing the game to stop for a couple of minutes while the players panicked and threw towels at the creature to get rid of it.
Maybe he had been a soccer player in his past life, or he simply wandered into the field like an inebriated fan and tried to steal the spotlight. Regardless, Zurich defender Loris Benito got into a tussle with the weasel, who managed to bite him in order to get away.

Johnson was standing at home plate when he swung his bat, he unintentionally hit a dove that flew in the direction of where the bat was swinging. This resulted in what could only be described as a bloodbath for the bird.

Everyone in the Buffalo Creek Golf Club needed a change of underwear after they saw a giant alligator walking across the golf course in order to get to the lake located next to the third hole in the field. This must have been a nerve-wracking encounter for golfers!

A baseball game was being played in Juneau, Alaska on June 15, 2014, when a black bear suddenly started roaming outside of the baseball field’s gate. Maybe it just wanted to see how humans played the game, but naturally, the players themselves were on edge.

The fox, which was known for often interrupting Class A Charleston home games, had seemingly vanished for almost an entire year. Then, it popped up from the third base dugout during the eighth inning of the first game of the RiverDogs against the Fireflies.

It earned the name Chubbs, after a character from the film “Happy Gilmore.” Chubbs was a one-eyed reptile and weighed approximately 600 pounds. The Gator Squad based in Houston was called in to grab the creature after golfers got too comfortable and started approaching the gator.

At first, it seemed as though the cat was friendly. However, when someone tried taking the cat off the field, it did a back-arch move that sent chills down every player’s spine. Eventually, a groundskeeper was able to nab the feline.

The cat earned the hashtag name #RallyCat because it was elusive, and its invasion of the sporting event led to a disastrous disruption for the baseball teams trying to continue playing. Ironically, after Rally Cat was captured, it ran away again, but it will probably be back.

It was a native black snake and it was in the middle of the fairway. Naturally, an official from the golf course drove over with his golf cart to attempt to remove the snake before it could bite anyone, but the snake seemed determined to stay.

A dog showed up during the Dunhill Links golf ball game in Scotland and did more than steal the spotlight. It stole the golf ball that golfer Paul Casey was about to putt. After grabbing the ball from the 12th green, it simply ran off.

This wasn’t just some random bird. This was Taima, the August hawk, who happens to be the Seahawks’ mascot. But for whatever reason, it decided that landing on the head of a fan before kickoff would bring the team some luck, but all it did was distract everyone and cause laughter.
