Bite Level 2 describes?

• A. A bite that makes contact but there is no puncture
• B. A deep puncture
• C. An air bite
• D. A bite with bleeding

Answer: (A)

Bite levels measure how far a bite penetrates and how severe the injury is. At this level, the animal makes contact with the skin but does not puncture it—the skin isn’t broken and there’s no open wound. This shows the animal attempted to bite but didn’t break the surface, which is less severe than a puncture or bleeding bite but still signals potential aggression that needs careful handling and prevention. In practice, you’d respond by calmly disengaging, removing the animal from the situation, and following safety procedures to prevent escalation, while documenting the incident for safety records.
