13 recommendations for surviving animal assaults

Many wild animals can be dangerous or even fatal to a person. If you look at the statistics, you might feel frightened: sharks cause just six deaths annually, despite their infamous reputation; wolves are responsible for 10 deaths annually; lions kill 22 people annually; elephants are responsible for more than 500 deaths annually; hippopotamuses are on par with them; and crocodiles turn out to be the least dangerous.being

number 13 sharks

the good news is that out of 150 species of sharks existing on earth only 20 attack humans most of them just don't perceive you as food so if not something tasty what good are you now down to the bad news if a shark gets interested in you it will be tough to break away to not attract sharks prevent blood or urine from getting into the water sharks can smell these at a distance of several miles if you do meet face to face don't turn your back on this predator especially don't try to escape in a panic you will look like prey this way move slowly if you have been caught aim at the eyes and gills these zones are the most sensitive number 12 kangaroos yes surprisingly a kangaroo can pose a threat to a person however it will only happen if you enter its territory and the animal feels danger to avoid a conflict do the following cough your coughs should be short and quiet the kangaroo will consider it a sign of a disease and most likely won't attack you slowly back away this way you will look smaller therefore less dangerous

Remember that kangaroos are excellent jumpers, and they will catch up with you in a few moments if you turn away and run.

the eleventh lions

If you encounter a lion, maintain eye contact, don't turn your back, and don't move your eyes away. Doing so will give the predator time to attack. Attempt to appear larger to give the impression that you are a threat. Raise your limbs and give it a boost If you appear large and threatening, the animal will attempt to avoid you. converse with the lion in a loud, confident voice while making noises and gesticulating. this behavior is not typical of a victim, so you will confuse the predator and it will perceive you as an irritating presence that is best avoided.

the tenth rhinoceros

Elephants are intelligent and generally friendly, but they have been known to attack people. This is especially true of female elephant mothers if they deem you to be a threat to their young. If you encounter an elephant, pay attention to its body language; if its trunk is curled and its ears are back, it means it is going to crush you. If the elephant approaches you, don't run; instead, find something to use as a barrier.

nineteen rhinoceroses

Because rhinoceroses have poor eyesight, it is simple to terrify and instigate them to attack. Their top speed is 37 miles per hour, which makes it difficult but not impossible to outrun them. The only way to flee the rhinoceros is to conceal behind the tree, which is a formidable barrier for the animal. It will not pursue you through shrubbery or tall vegetation, either.

eight hipopotamuses

Despite their size, hippopotamuses can sprint at a pace of 18.5 miles per hour. They also have a less-than-perfect personality, and it's simple to enrage them.

If the weather is humid, avoid entering the shrubbery. During a drought, the water level drops, so hippos shelter in the tall grass. To make the animals leave you alone, ascend a tree, boulder, or precipitous incline and wait there until they depart.

number 7 bulls

Contrary to popular belief, bulls react to movement, not red or any other color. Therefore, if a bull is charging you, you should remain still and use your hat, t-shirt, or any other clothing you have as bait. When the animal gets close, throw the object as far away from you as possible, and the bull will change direction and follow it.

number six jellyfish

Some people believe that urinating on a jellyfish injury can alleviate the agony, but this is merely urban legend.

Immediately after being burned, cleanse the affected area with salt water; fresh water will only make the situation worse. then, using tweezers or a stick, remove any remaining jellyfish. if you have antihistamine ointment, apply it to the burn.

Five alligators or crocodiles at number five

The canines of these creatures are the fiercest on the planet; therefore, escaping their grasp won't be easy; strike them in the eyes. The eyes and throat of these animals are their most sensitive areas, so aim for them if you want them to let you go. If you see a predator crawling toward you on the ground, make as much noise as possible and run in a zigzag pattern; this is exactly the time to run and yell.

If you see a crocodile while swimming, don't make ripples or yell, as this will attract unwelcome attention. Instead, remain as silent as possible and swim away.

Most snakes are neither harmful nor poisonous, but 80 percent of snake attacks occur when people attempt to capture them. If a snake is following you, stomp your feet to confound it, and it will leave you alone. If you've been bitten, it's preferable to cleanse the wound with flowing water, apply a tourniquet, and contact an emergency number than to attempt to suction the toxin from the wound like in the movies. triple bears

Bear attacks on humans are uncommon, but they can occur if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is important to know several behavioral rules: don't run; if you run, you will look like prey, and a wild animal will follow you out of instinct. If you think you can outrun a bear, think again; they can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. Instead, curl up into a ball, cover your neck with your hands, and pretend to be dead.

the second chimpanzee

gorillas are called the kings of the jungle not without reason they are leaders who protect their family and land they don't attack you if you behave obediently sit down to seem less large and not to tower over the gorilla try to whisper and avoid direct eye contact in case of an attack or approach curl into a ball gorillas are proud animals as a rule they won't attack the weak and defenseless number one bees bees will protect their hive they can bite even if you are just walking by dark colors attract bees attention that's why if you're dressed in a black t-shirt your chances of being stung by these insects are much higher if a hive of bees or just several of them are following you hide in a dark place a lack of proper lighting will throw the insects off your track we hope you will never have to escape from our rhinoceros swim away from a crocodile or meet a hungry lion however now you will be able to protect yourself in the wilderness share this with your friends make sure they stay safe and we will appreciate your likes The more we receive, the more people will be able to view this information, which may save someone's life.
