I am fairly confident this is true at least to an extent. Most venomous snakes don't want to waste venom on defense, they use it for hunting. I would guess that any encounter with a non-prey animal would seem like a life-or-death situation for an immature viper. The reason I said "fairly" is because I think most snakes only have a memory span of about 15 seconds, so it would have to be instinctual.

As casual as when we would bite into a cookie (British biscuit :P). Like seriously dont mess with the Grizzlies. They also had a moose in a stall so I got to get fairly close.

When I was about 13 I was stung by the Bark Scorpion. They are quite small, about an inch. The sting itself didn't hurt at all. It tagged me on the knee while I was sitting on the floor. It felt like a sticker or splinter had poked me through my jeans. I looked at my knee, didn't see a splinter so ignored it. Then a minute later it stung me on the top of the foot on the same leg. This time I figured there was a goat head sticker in the carpet and went to look for it and saw the scorpion. It was fine for a few hours but by bedtime, it felt like I had lava in my veins of my leg instead of blood. from foot to hip, each heartbeat sent fire up and down my leg. it made for a pretty restless night. The next day, my leg had gone completely numb. It was quite interesting getting around my school classes while being unable to feel one of my legs. By the next day, everything was back to normal. If you come to the Southwest for any length of time, and go into nature, watch where you put your hands. Take care around trees, fallen logs, and rocks. especially around water since that's where scorpions and snakes are more likely to be. We are taught as children that if we are picking up a large rock, or log or literally anything that has sat on the ground, to pick it up towards us, and use it as a shield as you look to see if there was anything under it, like a snake, centipede, tarantula, or scorpion. Always check your shoes before you put your feet into them, even if they are in the house and especially if they are outside.

Was at a mountain resort in Northern California - nothing fancy, but beautiful area with great trails to hike. So I start to head off the first morning and see a big sign - Do not hike alone. Bears have been sighted nearby. A sign next to it said a cougar had been sighted. Then there were instructions on what to do if you encounter a bear or cougar. One of the two you were supposed to make yourself large, wave your arms in the air and shout at it. The other animal you should make yourself small, stay quiet, don't move, and do not make eye contact. So exact opposite behavior if encountering a bear vs a cougar! By the time I finished reading the thing I could NOT remember which was which. And that's when I was calm instead of scared during an actual encounter. So I said screw it and went and got a massage instead LOL
@elecjack13 жыл бұрын
A grizzly bear is the one you do not want to make any movement or noise that can be taken as aggressive. Eye contact with a grizzly will be taken as a challenge. They are very territorial. Cougars are strategic hunters that take advantage of prey they see as weak. If you make a lot of noise and appear to be big, they will usually back off and consider you not worth the risk. Not all bears should be treated the same though. You want to act similarly to a black bear as you would a cougar. While still dangerous, they are smaller and less aggressive than grizzlies and more curious and usually are easy to scare away by making a lot of noise and trying to make yourself appear bigger and threatening. This unfortunately is something some people have gotten backward in the past between the two bears when encountering them.

During mating season mountain lions scream. I mean, they literally scream. In the middle of the night. It sounds like a woman being murdered out in the woods. I've also heard the gray wolves howling a few times. The population up where I live I think just occasionally ranges down from Canada, and isn't part of the highly contentious reintroduction. This population overlaps with one of the only grizzly bear habitats in the lower 48. It isn't an animal I would want to startle and have to face, but conflicts with them are actually extremely rare. This probably has more to do with the populations largely being limited to fairly remote wilderness, though, because black bears are far more ubiquitous and, unsurprisingly, are far more commonly seen as a nuisance. Moose deserve the number 1 spot. Moose are utterly ubiquitous where I live. They're as big as horses, and notoriously aggressive. They're famous for wandering around small towns, peeking into windows and eating your hedges. But most people also know that they are not safe to approach. Bull moose can be really aggressive, and cows with calves doubly so. Most people I know would rather have to deal with a black bear than a moose.

We focus on education apart from providing non-releasable and non-native wild cat species, but we always treat them and respect them as the wild animals they are. No interactions like you see on some Netflix shows 😅😂 We have four cougars right now, and they’re just remarkable creatures. They can take down prey up to 10x their weight and are ridiculously agile and graceful. In general, all cats are, but cougars really stand out to me for being especially so. Whenever there are small kids in a tour group, the kitties love to stalk them. I always gently remind the parents that it’s not because the cougars “like” them in a playful way, they see them as easy prey. 😅 I can never stress enough how important it is to NEVER turn your back on a cougar if you encounter one in the wild. But they’re very stealthy creatures, like many other felids, so they usually see you and you never even realize they were there. We really do share this beautiful planet with some incredible, powerful creatures ❤️

I live in Colorado. The one animal that scares me the most is the mountain lion. We have signs in our national parks that say this is mountain lion country, if you’re running, please run in groups and as my husband says, don’t be last! It’s rare but they come down to the suburbs and have been known to take pets for food. One man said a lion took his dog and I figured he had a small dog but then he showed a picture of his dog and it was a Rottweiler! Holy cow! But makes sense if they’re killing elk which are big animals they can take a Rottweiler. We have black bear, grizzlies are farther north. I wouldn’t mess with a grizzly ever but mountain lions scare me more than black bears. There’s a video where a man was walking or running a trail (not sure which state) and came upon a mountain lion baby. Well, he backed off and the mother appeared and followed him for a long time. He kept backing up and yelling at it and that went on for a long time. Scary stuff. Don’t mess with moose either, very antisocial and mean.

I think the Grizzly bear is what you have to worry about most. They are incredibly fast, can climb trees, and will rip you to shreds. Worst of all they are aggressive, it’s not like oh if you don’t bother it, it won’t bother you. They kill for sport. If you go anywhere in it’s sight and there’s no house/car around you to escape you are dead. Nothing you can do… We also have Black bears which are smaller and actually live near me, but they aren’t much to worry about. They aren’t aggressive and you can scare them off if you act big enough

If you want to see a wide variety of North American native animals in the wild from a safe distance you have to go to Denali National Park in Alaska. I took my sons there when they were 9 and 11, and we saw grizzlies, including mothers with cubs, black bears, dall sheep that climb up mountains, caribou, moose, and all kinds of eagles and falcons, including bald eagles. You take a long bus ride into the middle of the park, and it stops along the way for you to take pictures. You're perfectly safe, but you can really see the animals up close and personal with a zoom lens or binoculars.

When I was 16 we had a black bear destroy a tent less than 12 ft. away from us. We watched it from inside our tent & after it left & went out to inspect we saw a muddy paw print next to the tent zipper door & a big muddy butt print on the opposite side which was just above my head where I was sleeping!

You really have to go out into their habitat to encounter them. Well except the deer. 🦌 They are everywhere. (As a kid I used to see a lot of dead deer that had be struck by cars, but nowadays fencing has been erected all along highways and roads that keep the deer from causing accidents.) They walk through my neighborhood like they own the place. I have several enormous apple trees on my property that produce literally thousands of apples every year and the deer come by to eat their share. (As do birds, squirrels, racoons, possums and rats) My dog Nando patrols our back yard and keeps most of these critters away during the day, but at night the feast begins. In 59 years I've never seen a cougar, rattle snake, wild moose, wolf, scorpion etc.. I know they exist but unless you are hiking out in the desert or in the mountains you are very unlikely to come across one. Even then it is still highly unlikely to encounter a bear, wolf, cougar etc. Here in Washington you will also see some coyotes within the cities. However, the natural beauty and unspoiled nature that we have more than makes up for any inconvenience we take to stay safe from the wild creatures that we have to share it with. 😛

Where I live in Illinois, deer-automobile collisions are commonplace. There are two species of poisonous snake common here that weren't mentioned, copperheads and water moccasins or cottonmouths. We also have rattlesnakes here. Black widows and brown recluse spiders are common here too, and you have to check your shoes as that's a favorite place for the brown recluse. People here use to call the brown recluse the fiddleback spider because of the marking behind its head. If you're boating or skiing on the Illinois or Mississippi Rivers, you have to keep an eye out for snapping turtles, which can grow to be over a foot in diameter and who's beak can sever a toe or finger. We also use to have big cats here like cougars, panthers, bobcats or lynx... but they've become exceedingly rare.

Growing up around Rocky Mtn elk, which are about twice the size of a standard deer, I can tell you how many people I personally knew who wrecked in a collision with them in my childhood. In my tiny little town I knew at least seven people out of a couple hundred who had had that experience, and quite a number of them had permanent injuries from it. Moose are pretty bad tempered, but so are bison. I remember going to Yellowstone one time and there was a calf sort of trotting alongside the cars hoping for handouts... and then the mother came galloping up because I guess when the baby blatted at everybody, she must have thought we were harming it or something? She had taken exception to one of the cars (which was a color she appeared not to enjoy?)... and she just literally ran directly into the side of it. It was a big SUV, and it slid right off the road and got stuck on the embankment off the asphalt. Pretty impressive to see an animal, even one that hefty, take an SUV off the road.

I was running to the bus stop one morning when I came around some trees and there was a bull. I didn't get to school that day, thank goodness he didn't follow me home.

They let us know we could go back in, in an hour. Haven't been in the water since. We had a death here a couple summers before from a Great White Shark Attack.
