Animals are one of nature's beauties of the earth. Some are cute and cuddly while others can be rather shy. However, there's this kind of animal, the biting kind that can literally bite you on the butt if you're not careful.

This breed of animal is what's known as a Butt Biter, they can be dogs, cats, pigs, ferrets, any other animal you can think of. The next time you come across this type of animal, beware.

Often results in the butt-biter making off with a piece of trouser fabric, leaving a hole behind through which Goofy Print Underwear may be visible.

Subtrope of: Amusing Injuries and Literal Ass-Kicking.
