10Lydia Angiyou
Lydia Angiyou stands 155 centimeters (5’1”) and weighs about 40 kilograms (90 lb). She isn’t exactly what you’d call “intimidating,” but appearances are deceiving. This is one Inuit lady you don’t want to mess with. The 43-year-old was walking through the town of Ivujivik, Quebec when she spotted her nephews and seven-year-old son playing in the streets. But instead of laughing and smiling, the kids were terrified, probably because a 300-kilogram (700 lb) polar bear was heading their way. Afraid it was coming after her kid, Angiyou pulled an Ellen Ripley.
