Series: 25 Survival Skills That Will Help You One Day - Did You Know? (Part 1: When You Encounter Wild Animals)

 Hello! Welcome to my blog.

You're walking through the forest and suddenly...a bear steps out of the bushes. Or worse, a wolf can see you and surround you. No teammates or friends, no family, no weapons, and no time to think too long. What will you do?

Whether your answer is, in part 1 of the series "25 Survival Skills", you're going to learn how to properly deal with wild animals such as bears, wolves, or wild boars. Don't waste time anymore, let's get into it!

1. What to do if you meet a bear?

When you meet a bear, first of all, you need to keep calm. Next, and the most important step, you need to lie down on the ground and play dead. If you do this, that bear won't even touch you! In science, bears never eat their prey when they see them dead. You mustn't run, because bears can run at a speed of 40 km/h.

In some situations, bears might come closer to you. In this case, pepper spray is the best choice for you.

2. What should you do if you meet a wolf?

If you meet a wolf, first, you mustn't run, because you can't run as fast as that wolf! You also don't have to turn your back. The thing you should do is look the wolf straight in your eyes and slowly walk away.

If you meet a wolf pack, you shouldn't let the wolves surround you. If that case happens, you should lean against a tree, and when you see they are distracted and don't pay attention to you, climb that tree!

3. What to do if you meet a snake?

If you meet a snake, whether it's poisonous or not, you must stop immediately, because you don't know even it's poisonous. Another important thing is not to try to kill it! Because one study shows that most bites happen when people try to attack snakes!

Snakes don't usually actively attack people, so you mustn't make them angry! Besides, you have to walk away slowly, just like when you do if you meet a wolf. In the worst case, you might be bitten by snakes! If it happens, stay calm, and don't suck the venom because it can make the poison spread through your body faster! Finally, take your phone and call emergency services quickly!

4. What do you do when you meet a wild boar?

Wild boars are extremely aggressive. So if you spot a wild boar at a distance, don't stop and take photos of it; you should leave that area immediately! If you don't have time to run, you can climb a tree near you.
