Forewarned is forearmed. So you can name a selection of tips on what you need to do to save your life in a skirmish with deadly animals.
In the world there is a huge number of animals that are dangerous to people, and meeting with them can result in death. To increase your chances of salvation, it is useful to learn about the advice of experienced hunters how to properly deal with the most dangerous predators.
1. Crocodile
The largest reptile in the world every year, on average, causes the death of 2.5 thousand people. Death from this animal is terrible, because it first bites the victim, and then untwists it, biting off pieces of flesh.
Tip: Crocodiles skillfully disguise themselves in reservoirs, so when attacking from the water the chance to survive is minimal, unless the animal misses. If the meeting occurred on land, and up to a crocodile about 5-6 meters, then you need to quickly escape. It can reach speeds of up to 16 km / h, but at the same time for long distances it quickly exhales. You need to run in a straight line, not zigzagging. If a skirmish has occurred, then try to pin the snout to the ground so that it can not open its mouth. In addition, keep in mind that the most painful place for a crocodile is eyes, but if you do not reach them, then beat into the nostrils. If the hand was in the jaws of the beast, then you should try to damage the palatine valve, which is behind the base of the tongue.
2. Boa constriction
Snakes who like to "cuddle" suffocate their victims. Their grip is so strong that they can break bones. Rarely, but a dangerous meeting with a boa constrictor is possible.
Tip: If the snake begins to twist the body (more often it's the neck), then in such a situation it is important not to panic, as it causes one to breathe frequently, and each breath will lead to a stronger squeezing of the boa. You need to breathe calmly and for a long time. You can try to bite a boa constrictor, which will make him loosen the grip. If the hands are free, then hit the snake over the head with any blunt object. Boas do not like victims who resist, so they can weaken the grip even more and then it will be possible to throw off the attacker from himself.
3. Hyena
The hyena dogs look awesome, and meeting them is very dangerous. They hunt in groups, surrounding the victim, and the chances of getting out of this trap are approaching zero. According to statistics, the percentage of victims is 80%. They attack quickly and straighten out the man and the animal for a minute.
Tip: To survive, you need to avoid situations where you find yourself in the circle of hyenas, as they are almost impossible to intimidate and rebuff even with a stick, since the attack will occur simultaneously from several sides. You can try to fight off with stones, a torch and various heavy objects.
4. The Wolf
The ancestors of domestic dogs in most cases go to the hunt for a pack. Wolves can pursue a victim for a long time, waiting for the right moment. You can meet with them, for example, during a hike in the forest. The wolf jumps on the victim and tries to cling to the head or neck.
Tip: Thinking about the method of salvation, you need to be guided by the fact that these wild animals run fast, but they do not know how to climb trees, so you need to try to climb a tree and wait until they get tired of waiting for you. If the encounter with the wolf took place in the field, then you should prepare for the battle. It is useful in this case stick, which should try to shoot down the animal at the time of the jump. Even at this time you have to kick your foot in the groin. To protect your neck, put forward your hand, after winding a jacket or something else on it. After this, try to sit on the wolf and bend his head back. Due to this, it is possible to loosen the grip, cause the animal pain and force it to retreat.
5. The poisonous spider

6. Buffalo
In most cases, animals move in packs and never escape from danger, but, on the contrary, go on the attack. They try to pierce their opponent with horns, and then trample.
Advice: It is important to understand that buffaloes never imitate an attack, but immediately attack, and survive in a fight with him is unrealistic. The only chance of escape is to run away as fast as possible and climb onto a tree.
7. The Lion
More than their time, lions lead a lazy lifestyle, but if they do not like something, they can become aggressive. As a result, safaris or other similar entertainment can end badly. During the attack, the lion digs into the trachea and strangles its prey to death.

Tip: Leopards, like lions, kill their victims by strangulation, but do not look them in the eye, because it will be a challenge for them. To be saved, it is important to stand motionless, but if the leopard starts to approach, then it is necessary, as in the case of the lion, to try to appear bigger and scream.
10. The Gorilla
Although these monkeys are similar to humans, they are much stronger. Gorillas, although they are herbivores, can aggressively manifest themselves towards people.
Tip: If you saw an evil primate nearby, you do not need to make sudden movements, just calmly, head down, leave. This will show the animal that you do not plan to claim its territory. If the gorilla touches her hand, then show her affection, and not aggression, which will help her to calm down.
