content ahead with that let's start number five american campers eaten by a grizzly bear
have you ever seen a 2005 critically acclaimed documentary grizzly man
it's based on the life of timothy treadwell who spent 13 summers camping out at katmai
national park in alaska so he could commune with wild bears until he got eaten by one
in the documentary timothy's parents said timothy had always been an animal lover
but his life spiraled out of control when he became an alcoholic and a heroin addict in the
late 1980s timothy almost died from a heroin overdose when he managed to survive the ordeal
a close friend convinced him to travel to alaska to watch bears he agreed and had his first close
encounter with the grizzly in his book among grizzlies living with wild bears in alaska
timothy shared that he found his purpose in life after this trip he credited his recovery from
his addictions to his newfound calling of living and caring for bears timothy spent his 13 summers
camping at what he called the cath mine national parks grizzly sanctuary and grizzly maze where he
could get up close and personal with the animals he took almost 100 hours of video footage in a lot
of photos during his trip he became so popular that he was invited to talk in various events
tv shows and schools across the u.s he wrote that he was always careful with the bears and
that he developed a relationship of mutual trust respect and friendship with the bears
many of whom he saw each summer he became so familiar with them that he began naming
them but the alaska science center of the us geological service painted a different picture
a research ecologist said that timothy broke all park rules harassed wildlife and interfered with
the natural processes in the areas he camped at they also slapped him with several violations
timothy also claimed in his videos that he was always alone during his trips
but as proven during his final summer this wasn't true in 2003 timothy extended his camping trip
one stormy october timothy and his girlfriend amy huegenard camped near salman's stream
timothy arranged for an air taxi for the next day a few hours later the pair's air taxi pilot landed
near their camp and saw a bear sitting on top of human remains and gnawing on a human ribcage
the pilot contacted park rangers the officials shot the large male grizzly and another bear in
the area they discovered human remains scattered near the campsite and also body parts in the
bare stomach a video camera was recovered but it contained only audio footage of timothy yelling
that he was being mauled by a bear some moments of silence amy screaming as the animal came for her
and the bear grunting after the attacks according to the park's records
this was the first time that a bear had killed a person in the area but food was scarce during
that fall so the bears were more aggressive a diary entry by amy stated that timothy had been
filming a mean looking and an unfamiliar bear earlier he may have been filming his killer how
to avoid being eaten by bear okay this may sound weird but one of the best ways to avoid being dead
by a bear attack is to not be like timothy treadwell don't actively seek out the bears
avoid them at all costs don't approach one try to be as quiet as you can be if you're near it so
that you won't startle the bear if you know that you're in bear territory and you see a carcass
move away quickly you might be interrupting the bears dinner most important of all if you see a
bear cub stay away from it it may be cute but a mama bear is the most aggressive bear of all
number four indonesian woman swallowed whole by python pythons are non-venomous snakes
but this doesn't mean that they're not dangerous they don't bite their victims and inject a toxic
substance into the bodies what they do is wrap their long powerful bodies around their prey and
squeeze hard their victims die from suffocation or cardiac arrest then they open their jaws very wide
and swallow their food whole they can even swallow an adult crocodile one woman in sulawesi indonesia
discovered just how dangerous a python could be in 2018 a woman named watiba
went missing when she checked her vegetable garden local people mounted a search and discovered her
sandals and machete a day later these things were beside a 23-foot python with a really big
belly suspicious of the snake's bloated body the locals killed it and cut open its belly
the woman's body complete with their clothes was pulled out of the belly
completely intact how to avoid being eaten by a python gigantic snakes are very rare but on the
off chance that there's one lurking nearby avoid hiking through jungles alone pythons are very good
at camouflage because they like to ambush their prey so having an extra pair of eyes can always
help verify if there's a big snake hissing in the bushes with a companion you'll also have an
extra pair of hands to fight off a python before it could constrict your neck speaking of necks
even if you come across a pet python don't put it around your neck
that's like asking it to wrap around your throat and strangle you snakes rely a lot on their
sense of smell and heat receptors for directions because of their poor eyesight so try to keep food
in tightly closed packs and wash your hands after eating so that you don't smell like a juicy stick

number three australian divers devoured by sharks on january 7th 2020 rescuers near
the western australian coast had been searching for the body of a 57 year old man who was mauled
by a great white shark when they discovered a different body being devoured by three sharks
the rescuers later discovered that the body was that of a 21 year old college soccer player
eric barrigidi eric was on a holiday with friends when he slipped off the rocks and fell into the
water at twilight beach on january 2nd his friends tried to rescue him but the current swept him
out to sea the local police launched an extensive search until his body was discovered not far from
where he had his accident eyewitnesses shared that one of the sharks eating eric's body was
quite a big one although they discovered eric's body the rescue team never discovered the body of
the other victim they had been searching for gary johnson was attacked by a great white shark while
scuba diving with his wife gary was president of the asparants dive club he actually shared on
social media that he wore a sharp protection device because it gave him a peace of mind
but the device was not activated during the attack gary's wife managed to put out a mayday
call so rescuers got to her on time and managed to bring her to the hospital after days of searches
the rescue mission for gary was suspended and only his tank vest and flippers were found how to avoid
being eaten by a shark so what do you do when you've got a sharknado nipping at your flippers
well australia has a lot of shark attacks so you might want to avoid swimming on its beaches alone
choose patrolled beaches too to amp up the protection factor in general though avoid swimming
when it's dark like at night dawn or dusk remember not to swim if you're bleeding or you might just
start a feeding frenzy avoid high contrast clothes or jewelry that reflect the light these are like
blinker lights for sharks if you notice underwater wildlife behaving weirdly get out of the water
they can feel predators coming for them if it's too late and you're surrounded by sharks don't
splash around too much this will probably be very hard to do since you're already panicking
but try to stay as still as possible erratic movements will only attract the sharks even more
british hiker nod by wolves probably wolves have a bad rep of being lean mean hungry monsters
especially during winter nights when the moon is full and bright how many movies have you seen of
wolves portrayed as killers we blame folk tales like little red riding hood okay this may have
been true during the medieval times but over the last few centuries wolf encounters have
become rare for one thing there are far fewer wolves living in the wild these days and several
wolf species have become actually extinct wolves have also learned to avoid human populated areas
of course there are still very rare instances of freak attacks like the one that happened in 2017.
during a trip to greece a british hiker named celia lois hollingworth
went missing while walking alone on a remote path celia arrived on a thursday in september on friday
her brother received a frantic call from her that she was being attacked by dogs
her brother called the british embassy in greece which filed a missing report with the police
saturday authorities found nod bones and a dismembered body in the hills north of
greece they discovered celia's passport nearby an autopsy conducted the following wednesday
reported that the thigh bones had been cracked open in the body devoured by wild animals most
likely by wolves but even the official report did not have enough evidence to the purple wolves the
authorities just assumed it because wolves still roam the areas where the body was discovered
how to avoid being eaten by a pack of wolves if you find yourself surrounded
by a pack of wolves don't run wolves are hunters and will run after moving prey
don't show your back to the wolves for example if you've accidentally fallen into their enclosure
walk very slowly towards the exit while facing the pack or keep your back against the fence
don't stare them down because they will take this as a challenge make yourself large
and scary by shouting throwing stones or raising your arms or jacket over your head
if the worst happens curl into a tight ball and protect your head neck face throat and sides
number one indian villagers gobbled by man eating tigers
bears snakes sharks even wolves can't compare to the true man-eaters the big cats we're talking
about cougars jaguars leopards and lions but the most notorious of all are the tigers yes there's
a reason why shere khan is the main villain of the jungle book he epitomizes the aggressive
ruthless and violent man-eating tiger although only a small portion of big cats are man-eaters
they still have the highest statistics of molly killing and eating humans with razor sharp claws
razor-sharp teeth and an eight hunting instincts tigers continue to terrorize people even today
here's proof look at these scary footages of people desperately running away and climbing
trees after spotting tigers prowling the sugarcane fields of a small village north of india the
village is near a tiger reserve but because of poor zoning and planning the tigers trespass
even into the villages a dozen man-eating tigers had already killed 22 of the villagers in one year
some of the victims bodies were discovered half-eaten one man's leg was not to the bone
another had no head one villager went out to relieve herself in the fields and never came
back the scared villagers had already petitioned for their bosses for help but nothing's been done
although some families received some compensation for people killed outside of the boundaries of the
tiger reserve but is that enough if you live in terror of being killed by a tiger every day how to
avoid being eaten by tigers the tips we've given in the previous entries can work with tigers too
number one avoid them at all costs especially their cubs cute as those big kittens may be
tigers are fast runners you may need to be as fast as usain bolt to outrun one
but like the villagers you might be able to run fast enough to get to a tree and hide in it
don't throw anything at it that'll only make it angrier than it already is tigers are nocturnal
hunters this means that they actively hunt at night so one of the best ways to avoid a tiger
attack is to not go at night in the middle of a dark field just to relieve yourself you might find
yourself staring at a pair of glowing eyes finally tigers are very territorial creatures if you know
that you're in tiger territories don't challenge them by using their land as your bathroom if you
gotta go do it before or after your trip because if you do it might be your last bathroom break
