Many wild animals can be dangerous or even fatal for a person. If you look at the statistics, you might feel terrified.
- Sharks cause just six deaths a year - their infamous reputation is very exaggerated.
- Wolves are responsible for ten deaths annually.
- Lions kill 22 people a year.
- Now get ready: elephants, cute lovely giants, are the reason that more than 500 people lose their lives every year!
- Hippopotamuses equal them in this scary competition.
- Crocodiles turn out to be much more dangerous than sharks: about one thousand deaths a year.
- But the champion here is the snake: 100,000 people meet their end at the teeth of this reptile.

Number 13. Sharks.
The good news is 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;
Tip 1> Prevents blood or urine from getting into the water; sharks can smell these at a distance of several miles.Tip 2 > If you do meet face to face with a shark 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 by a shark aim at the eyes and gills these zones are the most sensitive.
Number 12. Kangaroo.
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 dangered.
To avoid a conflict with a Kangaroo when in its territory do the following;
Tip 1 > Cough; Your cough should be short and quiet, The kangaroo will considered it as a sign of a disease and most likely won't attack you. Slowly back away this way you will look smaller therefore less dangerous. Don't turn away and run, it will only provoke the animal, remember that Kangaroo's are perfect jumpers it will catch up with you in a few moments.

Number 11. Lions.
If you have encountered a lion;
Tip 1 > Maintain eye contact, turn your back and don't move your eyes away; if you turn your back on a Lion it will give the predator the time to attack.
Tip 2 > Try to look more massive; to create such an impression of massiveness lift your arms in jacket up. If you look big and threatening the animal will try to avoid the encounter.
Tip 3 > Speak to the Lion in a reasonably loud and confident voice, make sounds and gesticulate. Such a behavior isn't typical for a lion's victim this way you will baffle the predator so it will perceive you as an irritating presence which is better to stay away from. However this works for a lion and not when a lion is in packs.
Tip 4 > If you spot a lion in pack running towards you the best thing to do is to run towards a tall tree and climb on it, if you can find a stick you can use it to scare the lion from up the tree if the lion attempts to climb with you but do that with caution, the eyes will be the most sensitive part as the lion climbs up the tree to meet you. However not all lions will climb a tree and not all lion can climb so high except for the more aggressive and determined ones. You may be lucky to find out if you encounter one, hahahahaha its best to pray not to encounter any! Trust us!
Number 10. Elephants.
Elephants are clever and quite friendly animals but they are known to attack people. It is especially true about female elephant mothers, if they decide that you are dangerous for their babies.
If you come across an elephant attention to their body language,
Tip 1 > If their trunk is curled the ears are pulled back it means they are going to crush you.
Tip 2> If the animal approaches don't run.
Tip 3> Try to find something to become a barrier between you and the elephant, it can be a stone or tree.
Number 9. Rhinoceroses.
Rhinoceroses have bad eyesight, that's why it is easy to frighten them and provoke them to attack. This animals speed can reach 37 miles per hour, this is the reason it is really hard to out run them. hard but not impossible.
Tip 1> The only way to escape from the rhinoceroses is to hide behind the trees, it is a substantial obstacle for the animal also they will follow you through the bushes or high grass.
Number 8 Hippopotamuses.
This animal sometimes may look cute but is very misleading, they can be extremely dangerous, despite their weight hippopotamuses can run at a speed of 18.5 miles per hour. They don't have a perfect character, angering them is easy. If the weather is hot try not to enter the bushes the level of water lowers during the drought so the hippos hide in the high grass.
Tip 1 > To make a hippopotamus leave you alone; climb a tree, rock or a steep hill, wait there until it goes away.
Number 7. Bulls.
Despite the widespread opinion, bulls react to the movement not to the red or any other color.
Tip 1 > If a bull is running at you; stay straight and still. Use your hat, t-shirt or other cloth you have at hand as bait.
If the animal runs up close enough, through the thing(your bait) as far away from you as possible the bull will change direction and follow this object.
Number 6. Jelly fish.
A jellyfish burns brings a long lasting nagging ache. Some people believe that peeing on the damage surface can relieve the pain but it is just an urban legend.
Tip 1 > Immediately after being burnt; wash this place with salt water. Pure water will only worsen the situation after that using a pair of tweezers or stick move the remaining parts of the jellyfish away. If you have antihistamine ointment apply it to the place of the burn.
Number 5. Alligators or Crocodiles.
The jaws of these animals are the strongest on the planet. This case breaking free won't be a piece of cake.
Tip 1 > If you've been grabbed by an alligator or crocodile hit the eyes, the eyes and the throat of this animal are the most sensitive areas. To make the animal let you go aim at them(the eyes and throat).
Tip 2 > If you notice that the predators are crawling toward you on the ground make as much noise as possible run in a zig zag. This is exactly the situation when to run and shout is the best solution.
Tip 3 > If you see a crocodile while swimming don't create splashes don't shout, it will draw the unwanted attention. Trying to be as quiet as you can and swim away.
Number 4 Snakes.
Most snakes are neither dangerous nor poisonous. People get 80 percent of the bites trying to catch this reptile.
Tip >1. If you notice that a snake is following you; stomp your feet, vibrations will confuse the snake and it will let you be.
Tip >2. If you been bitten; don't try to suck the poison out from the wound as they do in the movie. Better to wash the bite with running water apply a tourniquet and call an emergency.
Number 3 Bears.
Bears attack people quite rarely. If you get into the wrong place at the wrong time it might still happen. It is necessary to know several behavioral rules.
Behavioral rules for a bear.
Tip >1. Don't run; if you run you will look like a prey. Wild animal will follow you at least out of instinct and if you think that you can outrun a bear forget it. They can develop a speed of 30 miles per hour.
Tip >2. Fall to the ground and curl into a ball, use your hands to cover your neck pretend to be dead; this way you won't be considered as a threat any longer. The bear might toss you around for a bit don't panic. Play dead a bit longer even if it leaves you alone because this smart animal often stay around and watch their prey.
Number 2. Gorilla's.
Gorillas are called the kings of the jungle not without reason, they are leaders who protect their family and lads. They don't attack you if you behave obediently.
Tip >1. Sit down to seem less large not to tower over the gorilla.
Tip >2. Try to whisper and avoid direct eye contact.
Tip >3. In case of an attack or approach crawl into a ball.
Gorillas are proud animals as a rule he won't attack the weak and defenseless.
Number 1. Bees.
Bees will protect their hive. They can bite even if you were just walking by!
Tip >1. Dark colors attract bees attention; that's why if you're dressed in a black tee shirt, your chances of being stung by these insects are much higher.
Tip >2. If a hive of bees or just several of them are following you, hide in the dark place; lack of proper lighting will throw the insects off your track.
We hope you'll never have to escape from a rhinoceroses, swim away from a crocodile or meet a hungry lion.
However, now you will be able to protect yourself in the wilderness.
