people lose their lives every year

hippopotamuses equal them in this scary

competition

dangerous than sharks about 1 000 deaths

a year

but the champion here is the snake

one hundred thousand people meet their

end at the teeth of this reptile to

prepare you for any situation you can

find yourself in we've gathered 13 ways

that will save your life if you have

such an unpleasant encounter

watch the video make notes and remember

to give us thumbs up for worrying about

your well-being

number 13

sharks

the good news is that 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 prevent blood or

urine from getting into the water sharks

can smell these at a distance of several

miles

if you do meet face to face 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 aim at the eyes and

gills these zones are the most sensitive

number 12

kangaroos 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 danger to

avoid a conflict do the following

cough your coughs should be short and

quiet the kangaroo will consider it 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

kangaroos are perfect jumpers it will

catch up with you in a few moments

number 11 lions

if you have encountered a lion maintain

eye contact

don't turn your back and don't move your

eyes away it will give the predator the

time to attack

try to look more massive to create such

an impression lift your arms and jack it

up if you look big and threatening the

animal will try to avoid the encounter

speak to the lion in a reasonably loud

and confident voice make sounds and

gesticulate

such a behavior isn't typical for a

victim

this way you will baffle the predator so

it will perceive you as an irritating

presence which is better to stay away

from

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 pay

attention to their body language if

their trunk is curled and the ears are

pulled back it means they are going to

crush you if the animal approaches don't

run

try to find something to become a

barrier between you and the elephant it

can be a stone or a tree

number nine rhinoceroses

rhinoceroses have bad eyesight that's

why it is easy to frighten them and

provoke them to attack these animal

speeds can reach 37 miles per hour this

is the reason it is really hard to

outrun them hard but not impossible the

only way to escape from the rhinoceros

is to hide behind the tree it is a

substantial obstacle for the animal

also it won't follow you through the

bushes or high grass

number eight

hippopotamuses
these animals seem cute but this image

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 as

well angering them is easy peasy

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

to make the animals leave you alone

climb a tree rock or a steep hill wait

there until it goes away

[Music]

number 7 bulls

despite the widespread opinion bulls

react to the movement not to the red or

any other color that's why if a bull is

running at you stay straight and still

use your hat t-shirt or other clothes

you have at hand as bait

when the animal runs up close enough

throw the thing as far away from you as

possible the bull will change direction

and follow this object

number six jellyfish

a jellyfish burn brings a long lasting

nagging ache some people believe that

peeing on the damaged surface can

relieve the pain but it is just an urban

legend

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 a

stick move the remaining parts of the

jellyfish away if you have antihistamine

ointment apply it to the place of the

burn

number five alligators or crocodiles

the jaws of these animals are the

strongest on the planet in this case

breaking free won't be a piece of cake

if you've been grabbed hit the eyes the

eyes and the throat of these animals are

their most sensitive areas

to make the animal let you go aim at

them

if you notice that the predator is

crawling toward you on the ground make

as much noise as possible run in a

zigzag

this is exactly the situation when to

run and shout is the best solution

if you see a crocodile while swimming

don't create splashes don't shout it

will draw the unwanted attention

try to be as quiet as you can and swim

away

number four

snakes

most snakes are neither dangerous nor

poisonous people get 80 of their bites

trying to catch this reptile if you

notice that a snake is following you

stomp your feet vibrations will confuse

the snake and it will let you be if you

have been bitten don't try to suck the

poison out from the wound as they do in

the movies

better to wash the bite with running

water apply a tourniquet and call an

emergency

number three bears

bears attack people quite rarely but if

you get in the wrong place at the wrong

time it might still happen

it is necessary to know several

behavioral rules don't run if you run

you will look like prey a wild animal

will follow you at least out of instinct

and if you think that you cannot run a

bear forget it they can develop a speed

of 30 miles per hour

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 these smart animals

often stay around and watch their prey

[Music]

number two

gorillas

gorillas are called the kings of the

jungle not without reason they are

leaders who protect their family and

land they don't attack you if you behave

obediently

sit down to seem less large and not to

tower over the gorilla try to whisper

and avoid direct eye contact in case of

an attack or approach curl into a ball

gorillas are proud animals as a rule

they won't attack the weak and

defenseless

number one

bees

bees will protect their hive they can

bite even if you are just walking by

dark colors attract bees attention

that's why if you're dressed in a black

t-shirt your chances of being stung by

these insects are much higher

if a hive of bees or just several of

them are following you hide in a dark

place

a lack of proper lighting will throw the

insects off your track

we hope you will never have to escape

from our rhinoceros swim away from a

crocodile or meet a hungry lion however

now you will be able to protect yourself

in the wilderness

share this video with your friends make

sure they stay safe and we will

appreciate your likes the more of them

we get the more people will be able to

see this video and perhaps it will save

somebody's life
