Well, there's a story of a woman who was attacked by a wolf while she was jogging in the forest. She managed to climb a tree and wait until the wolf lost interest. In Africa, there are tales of safari guides who have survived attacks from angry elephants. They often use their knowledge of the animals' behavior to escape. For example, they know not to run in a straight line but to zig - zag when an elephant charges. And then there's the story of a fisherman who was in his boat and a large crocodile tried to capsize it. He used his oar to keep the crocodile at bay until help arrived.
A really remarkable story is about a ranger in a national park who survived a snakebite from a highly venomous snake. He knew first - aid and was able to slow down the spread of the venom until he could get medical help. There was also a group of hikers who were surrounded by a pack of wild dogs. They huddled together and made themselves look big and intimidating, and also threw rocks at the dogs until they ran away. Another instance is a man who survived an alligator attack in a swamp. He was quick - thinking and jabbed the alligator in its eyes, which made it release him and he was able to swim to safety.
One inspiring story is that of a hiker who survived a bear attack. He played dead and the bear eventually left him. Another is a surfer who fought off a shark by punching it in the nose. There was also a camper who used a large stick to fend off a mountain lion.

Some people freeze. It's like their body just shuts down in shock. But others react instinctively. For example, they might fight back like the person who punched a shark. Or they might run, though running isn't always the best option as some animals will chase.

One well - known story is about the Tsavo man - eaters. In Kenya in 1898, two male lions killed and ate about 135 railway workers. These lions seemed to target humans deliberately.
