10 Wild Animals That Trapped Terrified People
Simply being in the presence of wild animals in their native habitats is unsettling. Their gaze is pitiless. Quick and powerful, they are often equipped with sharp teeth or fangs and strong, penetrating claws that can rip and shred human flesh. Some sport antlers capable of rending and battering. Many are massive, weighing hundreds of pounds; their weight alone could crush a person to death. Wild animals are also unpredictable.
When such predators trap someone, uneasiness quickly turns to terror. In a battle to the death, there is little chance for a human being against such adversaries as a cougar; a venomous snake; a bear; an alligator; a polar bear; an elk; or even a determined camel, especially when there is no escape, unless there is an unassailable refuge, help arrives in time, one has a weapon at hand, or innovation, coupled with desperation, saves the day.

âI could see this strange object I didnât recognise. It was about 30cm from my feet, flicking its tongue out,â Thatcher told Guardian Australia.
He said he uttered an expletive or two during his ordeal on Thursday but declined to repeat the phrase he used to describe the snake. âI didnât like the bugger â thatâs all Iâll say,â he said on Monday.
After realising that getting out of the boat wouldnât help âbecause it would still have been in thereâ, Thatcher started to head back to shore. At one point, he threw a jumper at the snake, to stop it slithering across the boat.
