Let's be clear. Live TV plus wild animals plus clueless host equals a recipe for disaster. But on the Web it's a winning combination. We want to assure you that no TV hosts were seriously harmed in the making of these videos that have gone viral. The psychological damage is harder to gauge.

Here's the set-up of the latest video to set the Web on fire: Clueless Australian weatherman Steve Jacobs decides — we think probably for the last time — that he should beam his forecast live from the Taronga Zoo with a pelican named Marnie. While pelicans look harmless enough, we're pretty sure this one will be haunting this poor man's dreams for years.

Perhaps the first nip on the weatherman's behind should have been a clue that the pelican hadn't had breakfast. The forecast (nifty graphics and all) is then interrupted by the yelping weatherman, as he is attacked by the biting bird. Mr. Jacobs can console himself that his local show is now a huge viral hit, even if it is for being at the butt of a joke.

Newsflash: Birds like being on the news. They like becoming the news even more. Do not adjust your set, but the clip below appears to show a giant seagull descending on an Australian city while the anchorman attempts to seriously deliver the news. Judging from the calmness of the newsman's delivery, if we pretend the birds don't exist, they go away.

See the attack of the enormous seagull video here.

Just so you don't think we're picking on the birds (but seriously, if they could, they would take over), you'll see there are other species terrorizing our TV hosts. David Letterman is the latest victim. See the late-night comic deal with an anteater that does not follow the script. When will these people learn? For the sake of our viewing entertainment, we hope, never.

Here's Dave and the snarky anteater.
