    6:30 I was stalked once by a mountain lion. I was hiking alone and figured I had just one chance. I knew acting like prey would just get me killed so I did the opposite: I screamed and ran right at the cat. This startled the cat and he ran off.
    Scared the hell out of me though, and I was afraid the cat might come at me again, but I never saw it again.

      I live in NM and am alone in the mountains often. I hope I never run into one. Who knows how many times I’ve ridden under a tree where a mountain lion might have been resting or waiting for prey. Fortunately, I usually have dogs with me.

      @@salliegallegos918 The vast majority of the time mountain lions will nope out of there before you ever see them.
      It's why attacks are so rare, and why predators that attack humans have to be destroyed. Most animals are terrified of humans, for good reason. If they lose that fear and discover that humans are easy to catch and kill, the become super dangerous.
      Polar bears are a rare exception. Fortunately polar bears only live in places humans don't want to live in, so encounters are rare. In those few places where humans do live in polar bear habitat laws exist that require people to be armed while outside.

      I was confronted by a stray aggressive Dog. Instead of running like most people normally would be inclined to do , I did my best imitation of repeating the growls and lunges back at that Dog. It made a final lunge at me so I charged It and when it turned away ,I chased that Dog as It went yelping away with Its tail so tucked between Its legs that it looked like the tip of the tail was almost touching the "chin" of that Dog. It never tried to come at me again. I had Friends tell me that " Something is wrong with me" to cause me to chase aggressive Dogs when confronted by Them. I guess People can presume whatever , I just have no desire to get bitten .

    I visited my Dad in Indonesia and was fascinated by the HUGE cockroaches they have there. I used to pick up spiders with my bare hands if they needed saving and was not at all afraid, but rather curious by the roaches. Then one suddenly turned around and came right at me at that surprising speed they have... and I shrieked like a Hollywood damsel and jumped backward about a meter up on the bed of the hotelroom. That was when I realised how little one knows oneself. Shocking discovery.

    I used to be friends with this family a long time ago, who wanted me to take care of their place while they were all out of town. I went over there the 1st day after they left and there were roaches running across the kitchen floor. So I decided to get nosy and look around. I found roaches inside the oven, I found them in the cupboards, I found them lining the wall lije wall paper behind the refrigerator and all of the cabinets. After that I was too grossed out to watch the place and I never went back. I just told them I did. They were probably in the light switch in this video too. Fkn gross.

      Most of the cockroaches here live outside in the garden or bush - keep wandering through houses, however clean. Using chemical treatments to a level to deter them for any time is more harmful to the people in the house than to the cockies (from Perth)

      @@janmeyer3129 Notice how I said environmental modification. Exclusion is an effective tool for dealing with the types of cockroaches you are talking about. Sealing up the cracks they use to get in, making sure your door sweeps are in good condition. Windows seal properly, screens fight tight, etc. In my time in the pest management industry using chemicals was the last resort, we always tried environmental modification first.

    Boars are insane. Growing up on a big farm in canada We had a neighbor who owned a huge herd and he had a fence break, they were everywhere. And they were so mean, my sister's got trapped in their car by one it was charging the car, they drove up to my granddads house to try and get rescued, the boar started charging the front door of his house and he had to shoot it from the kitchen window with his deer rifle. The farmer who owned the pigs just basically went around and told all the neighbors to start shooting them on sight due to them being so agressive, pretty much the whole area had free pork for a year or more, we shot and butchered 3 that year. One was a massive male that was the size of a friggin bear.

    I love that almost anyone I’ve heard talking about their experience of surviving an animal attack never blame the animal AND YOU SHOULDN’T! If you know you’re in dangerous animal territory, you need to put the responsibility on yourself to prepare and know what you’re getting into. A wild animal will behave as a wild animal and no matter how big or small, how seemingly friendly or unfriendly, just leave them alone and keep your distance

      Are they, generally, 'attacks' though? I imagine that what happens, mostly, is that people take the Puma by surprise and force it into a confrontation. What we call 'attacks' are often just really aggressive 'defenses'. They're wild animals. Attack and defense present in very similar ways. Having said that - terrifying! I'd want to always have with me an air horn and some bear or pepper spray. And a big stick. And maybe some rocks to throw to demonstrate, to the Puma, that I'm a sophisticated creature that can throw things. Most of all - I need my first, "Leave me alone!" to be decisive and unambiguous.

      Wasps can help to pollinate plants, and are also excellent predators of insects which we consider pests. Without wasps, there would be many more insects destroying crops, meaning much less food for us. There are also many species of wasps which are small and do not sting at all.
