Scientific Tips on How to Survive Wild Animal Attacks

In this video, we will show you the best proven techniques from scientific studies and wildlife experts, to help you survive a deadly battle with an animal.
Bears
Bears are usually a threat only when surprised or when they are protecting their cubs. If you encounter a bear at a distance, slowly back away. If you surprise one, do not run. Most wild animals like to chase out of instinct. And Bears can run at speeds of 30 miles per hour, while the fastest human on record reached just under 28 miles per hour.
Research has shown that bear spray is 92 percent effective in deterring attacks from these animals.
If you don’t have a bear spray and face a grizzly bear, play dead. Grizzlies will stop attacking when they feel you’re no longer a threat.
With black bears though, fight back and concentrate your kicks and blows on the bear's face and muzzle. To a polar bear, you’re a prey at first sight. Strike back by aiming for the nose or eyes.
Snakes
Most snakes are neither venomous, nor dangerous.
If you notice a snake is following you, stomp your feet hard on the ground. the vibrations the stomping makes will scare it off.
If you do get bit, don’t try to suck the venom out of the wound as they show in the movies. Research has shown that this method isn’t effective.
And don’t apply tourniquet to stop the poison from spreading. Studies suggests that applying a tourniquet does nothing to help the victim. Slashing the wound with a knife isn’t going to help either.
While it’s easier said than done, staying calm and still after a snake bite will prevent your heart from pumping fast and spreading the venom in your body. Lay or sit down with the bite below the level of the heart.
Shark
Sharks are most active at nights and they are able to see in the dark.
Don’t allow blood to get into the water. Sharks can smell it from miles away. If you’re wounded, leave the water. Research has shown that sound, rather than sight or smell, is a shark's primary cue for moving into an area.
If a shark is actively attacking you, claw at its eyes and gills as these zones are the most sensitive.
Alligators (or Crocodiles)
The jaws of these creatures are the strongest on the planet, so trying to open its mouth with your hands isn't going to work. If a crocodile grabs you, hit its eyes. The eyes and throat of these animals are extra vulnerable.
Bees
Dark clothes resemble the fur of their natural predators, like bears and skunks. So dark colored clothing appears more threatening to bees. Wear white clothes instead.
And try to avoid strongly scented shampoo, soaps, and perfumes. According to Japanese scientists, perfume has scent that angers bees.
Lion
If you have encountered a lion, maintain eye contact and don’t run. Try to look massive by raising your arms and opening your jacket. Doing this will make a lion think that you are stronger than it.
Mosquitoes
Research has shown that mosquitoes are attracted to the color black. If you’re wearing dark colors, your chances of being stung by these insects are much higher. Apart from vision, mosquitoes locate us by tracking down the carbon dioxide we emit.
Bulls
Opposite to the common misconception, bulls react to movements, and not to the red color. In fact, bulls are color-blind and can’t distinguish the red color. So if a bull is running at you, stand still. Use your jacket as bait. When the bull gets close enough, throw that object away. The animal will follow that object.
Jellyfish
Some people believe that peeing on the bitten zone can relieve the pain, but it’s just a myth. If you do find yourself with a jellyfish burn, rinse the area with vinegar, or soak the skin in hot water. After that, use tweezers to pull off any tentacles still on your skin.
Elephant attack
Elephants are known to attack people. Since elephants can run up to 25 miles an hour, you have little chance of outrunning them. If you come across an elephant, it’s best to read their body language to get signals early. If their ears are pinned back, and the trunk is curved inwardly, it means they are going to attack you.
If there is no barrier around, run in a zig-zag pattern. It’s difficult for elephants to change directions because of their heavy size.
Rhinos
Rhinos’ eyesight is one of the worst in the animal kingdom - up there with bulls and bats. Their speed can reach 38 miles per hour, which is why it’s hard to outrun them. The best way to escape from a rhino is to hide behind a large tree or rock. Remember that rhinos can’t see very well, so if you’re stood fairly still and don’t seem to be a threat, they may mistake you for a tree and keep grazing.
Kangaroo
Kangaroos can pose a threat to people.
If a kangaroo approaches you, let the animal know you are not a threat by giving a short, deep cough. Sub-dominant male Kangaroos acknowledge the dominant male's status by giving a short cough. You need to crouch down low, turn side-on, and back away slowly. This way, you’ll look smaller and less of a threat.

Your right about the big cat, years ago I crossed paths with a Cougar (40 feet away) in British Columbia and that’s what I did. He slowly walked into the woods off the logging road after I got him with a rock. I walked backwards 1 1/2 miles back to the campsite. With him watching me the whole time. A buddy of mine (bush pilot in the Yukon Territory) meet up with a Adult Grizzly Bear, climbed up a tree and the Bear climbed up after him a tore off his Calf muscle, but later left. Allowing him to crawl out, the Grizzly didn’t like his bear repellent (urine).

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

My daughter and I used to volunteer at an exotic cat sanctuary. One day (alas, when we were not there to bear witness), an employee didn't double check the lock after cleaning an enclosure and the lion got out. The director had to go to the on-site clinic and mix the tranquilizer dose then shoot the lion from only about 10 yards away. The pissed-off lion charged him, but Frank stood his ground. The lion stopped about five yards away and Frank had to just stand there for fifteen minutes until the lion lay down, then another 15 until the lion was dopey enough to be rolled up a sheet of plywood into the back of a John Deere Gator and hauled back to his cage. We were told *not* to make prolonged eye contact, just occasional contact. Prolonged eye contact is a challenge and could provoke an attack. Intermittent eye contact just says, "Yeah, I see you. So what?" and leaves the lion less likely to attack than if challenged. We also had fire extinguishers deployed throughout the sanctuary. A blast from a fire extinguisher into the face of an attacking predator screws with their vision and sense of smell and it startles them out of their attack mode. It's also 90% effective in stopping dog attacks. If you see someone in your neighborhood being attacked by a dog, grab your fire extinguisher rather than a gun or a baseball bat when running to help.

whoa very dangerous try to avoid it a little harder this time

Not real

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

@@Books554 The place was called Texas Exotic Feline Foundation when we volunteered there. It's now Wild Animal Sanctuary - TEXAS after they started taking in other animals rather than just cats. The lion that got out was Simba II. (The cats kept the names they'd had when they were rescued/surrendered, and Simba is, of course, a popular name for lions.) Simba II got out twice during our tenure, but once he just got into the back of the Gator and was eating everybody's food, and Richard was able to entice him back into his enclosure with turkey necks, which were a favorite treat.

How can you tell the difference between a black bear and a brown bear? Climb a tree. If they bear climbs up and eats you, it's a black bear. If it knocks the tree over and eats you, it's a brown bear.

If you are thirty yards from a tree and the grizzly is 100 yards from the same tree the bear will catch you before you get to the tree. If confronted by a grizzly bear lie down put your hands behind your head and curl into a ball where you can kiss your ass goodbye.

Bruh who would think that you must do bandages on a snake attack one day I got bitten by a snake and my bro just absorbed the poison and nothing happened to me or him. If you really think that sharks won't attack you while you're not moving then that's a wish that will never come true the only way to survive a shark is to put your finger on one of his eyes
