The 12 most unusual animal claims Admiral has handled are:
The front seat passenger had a puppy on their lap that jumped down from the seat. The passenger reached down to pick up the puppy but accidentally pulled up the handbrake causing the car to skid into another vehicle.
A car was damaged at a village fete when a miniature pony broke loose and climbed over the bonnet.
A car was damaged by a peacock that, on seeing its reflection, clawed the car.
A driver was distracted by a camel and an elephant tethered at the side of the road and collided with a bollard.
A driver drove into a telephone pole while trying to swat a fly inside the vehicle.
A rare show car, a Lancia Delta Intergrale, was destroyed while in storage by a nest of mice which chewed through the leather and foam of the two front seats, partially devoured the rear seats and completely stripped the leather from all four door interiors.
A car was damaged by a group of peacocks that escaped from the owner's neighbour's garden.
While driving, a man leaned over to stroke his dog, got distracted and crashed his car.
A driver caused a multi car shunt after being startled by a spider dangling from the rear view mirror.
A car was parked in a woodland car park and was damaged by a male peacock that took a dislike to the vehicle.
A car was damaged by rats that entered the engine compartment and chewed through internal parts.
A car was damaged while parked in a hotel car park after it was attacked by a peacock owned by the hotel.
...I didn't realise peacocks were such a road hazard
