That’s a great question. I tell you what I’d rather fight a big cat or a bear over a croc, they just freak me out for some reason. I’ve been watching that show, “Outback Hunter,” I think it’s called and those dudes are nuts. In the last episode a guy is air lifted onto what looks like some branches in the water by a 15 croc he wants to kill. Dude had to wait an hour for his boat to be air lifted in. Then the croc rammed his boat and it started taking on water. FUCK THAT!![/quote]
I definitely agree haha. Mammals are just less scary than crocodiles or sharks or whatever.
As for where I’d draw the line - probably somewhere around wolves and the smaller big cats (leopards, panthers, jaguars etc). Lions, tigers, bears etc might be a step too far haha. I’m under no illusion that I’d win or anything, I just think if my child’s life was at risk I’d probably go in.
But as has already been said no one can predict what they’d do in that situation. Maybe my instinct to protect my child at all costs would kick in or maybe I’d just freeze.[/quote]
FUCK NO[/quote]
I can’t make out what’s in its jaws

I think it’s a fish, and it’s fins are poking out. Hard to tell though. Damn scary looking thing.

I admire your confidence. It will bring you much success in life. Or, an early grave. But at least you’ll go out with a bang.

I’d rather see the smackdown with a 200lb declawed and muzzled jaguar.
Awesome video LoRez! Obviously the lions were vastly outnumbered but I think it goes to show how big a role aggression/assertiveness plays in confrontations rather than the actual physical struggle.
I’ve seen another cool video on youtube, but I can’t find it now. A zebra is attacked by a lioness which latches onto it’s neck, but the zebra manages to drag it to a nearby stream and submerge it’s head until it is forced to let go. Then the zebra legs it and manages to get away.

I’d love to see that! It shows that zebras can reason and resort to an elementary logic.

Yeah it’s fascinating! Unfortunately it was in the middle of a long video, not a short clip just of that incident, so I haven’t been able to find it again.

Now that I’ve seen the height I would have to jump from and the terrain below, and seen how those dogs behave in the videos posted, I can say for certain I’d be jumping in to save someone else’s kid. By the time help arrived I’d be unmarked holding the child.

I thought the same thing, if you can get the kid back on the netting you can very easily move to the part where the platform is easily scalable (by the fence ) and get yourself back to safety.
Like i said before, i refuse to believe that the dogs ripped him apart as soon as he hit the ground. There had to have been 30s to a few minutes before any dog did any real damage. More than enough time to get in there and do something to at the very least delay the attack best case scenario rescue the kid.
