let's kick things off with the kodo dragon these oversized lizards can grow up to a massive 10 ft long and way over 300 lb with Strong Limbs serrated teeth and venomous bites that make them efficient Hunters so if you ever find yourself staring one down you'll need to know exactly what to do step one say hi just kidding whatever you do keep your distance tempting as it might be to take a closer look at these impressive creatures getting too near as a terrible idea Komodo dragons don't appreciate visitors in their space face and just so
you know they have an incredible sense of smell like blood hounds when it comes to the scent of blood so if you're a woman on your period this is your cue to start writing your will but if you're not on your period you still have a chance move slowly and calmly and avoid loud noises that might get their attention oh great you've messed up now the dragon's about to attack so PL changing run like your life depends on it and it does but make sure to zigzag Koto dragons are quick reaching speeds of up to
21 km per hour but they struggle with sharp turns a straight line Sprint makes you an easy target but zigzagging will make it much harder for the dragon to keep up and keep in mind that they can run fast but not for long they'll get tired quickly finding somewhere safe to hide is a great idea but choose your spot wisely if there's a wooden house on stilts or any elevated structure climb it fast as dragons struggle with stairs avoid trees though young kodo dragons are expert climbers oh no I hate to tell you this but
a kodo dragon's bite is venomous it prevents your blood from clotting so you'll keep bleeding and you're going to get weaker by the minute running away might not work as the dragon could stalk you until the Venom takes effect the only option is to fight back grab anything a stick Rock whatever's nearby and aim for the sensitive spots eyes nostrils and inside the mouth a well-placed hit might make the dragon release you after defending yourself seek medical attention immediately the Venom causes severe bleeding shock and nasty infections don't waste a second get to safety and
call for help oh The Other dragons picked up the scent of blood so yeah seems like you got a few more fights coming your way typically kodo dragons don't see humans as a meal most attacks occur when they feel threatened to provoked or catch a whiff of blood next on our list the lion first things first under understand what you're dealing with lions are absolute powerhouses weighing between 120 to 190 kg and reaching top speeds of 80 kilm per hour outrunning one isn't an option they live in Prides meaning if you spot one there's a
good chance it has friends nearby most of the hunting is done by females so there's often more than one to watch out for panicking is a bad move it makes you look like prey and triggers the chase Instinct instead stop take a breath and assess the situation pay attention to the Lion's body language if it's relaxed it's likely just watching but if it starts pacing or staring intently it seems you're down to just one option making sure you don't seem like easy prey by making yourself look massive and sure you might regret skipping those gym
days but there's a simple trick Stand Tall raise your arms and spread out your jacket to double your size in an instant yell clap and make noise do whatever it takes to show the lion that you're more trouble than you're worth never turn your back on a lion always face it and if you need to create distance back up slowly lions are known for mock charging sprinting straight at you to test your nerve it's a test of your guts and running only serves as an invitation for a real attack and if the lion attacks fight
back and do it aggressively aim for the face eyes and muzzle these are its weak spots grab whatever you can sticks backpacks hair dryer anything to show the lion you're not not going down without a fight a fierce defense might be enough to make it Retreat now let's move on to our next Predator the shark rule number one for surviving a shark attack avoid getting into one sharks love hanging around Harbor entrances deep Waters and those drop off spots where the sea suddenly gets deeper they're also most active at night Dawn and dusk when visibility
is low so if you're out swimming or diving stick to shallow Waters avoid murky spots and steer clear of high-risk times but let's say say you were foolish enough to head into those areas and by some Stroke of Luck you spot a shark nearby whatever you do do not panic splashing around like a fish out of water basically sends an invite for the shark to come check you out instead stay calm try to be still and make your movement slow and smooth if the shark's just circling and not coming in hot you might just get
lucky and it'll swim off oh no it seems like he just sent out a dinner invitation sharks are sent super to detectors and fluids like urine or blood can draw them in from miles away if a shark approaches but isn't biting yet uh keep eye contact sharks like to attack from behind so staring it down could shake its confidence slowly backing away towards the shore or your boat without turning your back on it and remember no splashing if you can try to find a solid structure like a reef or Rock to position yourself against this
stops the shark from doing those full sneaky circles around you but if your bad luck catches up with you and the shark decides it wants to get closer it's go time defend yourself with everything you've got Punch Kick hit tickle whatever it takes Focus your attacks on the eyes gills and nose the shark's nose is loaded with sensory organs so a solid hit there can send it packing and don't let your guard down just because the shark swims away these creatures like to test the waters so it might swim off Circle back and come in
for for another pass sharks often make several passes before they decide if you're worth the effort so even if it seems to lose interest don't assume you're in the clear stay alert keep eyes on the shark and back away to safety until you're fully out of the water now let's talk about the tiger if you see a tiger before it sees you your top priority is to go into stealth mode any sudden noise or movements like ringing a dinner bell even if the tiger looks hurt or on the older side don't be fooled they are
still fully capable of doing serious damage staying silent and still gives you that precious moment to figure out your next move before the tiger locks eyes on oh I guess you messed up never mind now just try to stay calm easier said than done but it's crucial do not make direct eye contact a staring contest with a tiger is a lose lose it might see this as a challenge or aggression instead slowly back away while facing the tiger keep it smooth and steady no turn your back if you're lucky and the tiger loses interest keep
creating distance until you're completely out of its territory never Crouch sit or make yourself look small tigers hunt by Ambush and if you make yourself look weak or submissive you're practically asking for an attack stay tall look big and keep your confidence up your size and stance could be the difference between life and death I know you're scared but try not to pee your pants literally tigers have an incredible sense of smell and urine might attract them basically the equivalent of saying come at me bro and that's not a conversation you want to have with
the tiger even if the tiger charges remember that it could be a warning charge to scare you off don't run tigers can hit speeds of 64 km per hour so you're not going to win that race stand firm hold your ground and use whatever you've gone tigers are immensely powerful but if they think you're more troubled than you're worth they might decide to walk away and if you're looking for an Escape Route clim climbing is your best bet but only if it's a tall sturdy tree or structure unlike some big cats tigers aren't great climbers
but they might give it a shot so make sure you get high enough to be out of reach and stay put until the coast is clear or help arrives and whatever you do don't jump into water unlike most big cats tigers are excellent swimmers you're just trading one danger for another
