Sometimes the idiocy, careless or otherwise, caused real harm, like the 70-year-old giant turtle smashed and killed by a rock. Ma Lan the elephant was once wounded on the trunk by a catapult shot, and there was also a bear cub who died after a cigarette burn on its snout became inflamed.
卅九年時，一隻七十歲的巨龜被石頭砸死；大象馬蘭也曾被彈弓打傷鼻子；還有一隻小熊，因為嘴被香煙頭燙傷而發炎致死。
