There might come a time in your life where you will be forced to fend for yourself and survive an animal attack. The chances of this happening are greater for some than they are for others, of course, depending on where you live.
If you spend most of your time in an urban area, the likelihood of you being attacked by a mountain lion or a great white shark is exceedingly small. With that being said, however, as human beings encroach further into wildlife habitat our interactions with animals will increase.
Attacks by different species of animals require different approaches. For some animals, you will want to make yourself look big and stand your ground but this might be literally the worst thing you could do when faced with another predatory animal.
To know if you have what it takes to survive animal attacks from a wide range of species, take this quiz to test your knowledge.
