Why do wild animals run away from humans, but not other wild animals?
Most prey species tend to flee the moment they sense anything unfamiliar. Those that take the time to question whether it is actually a danger or not are the first to be eaten. Unless they KNOW something is not a threat, they assume that it is. Deer and rabbits are both prey species, so they tend to behave predictably and non-aggressively. If they've lived near each other long enough, they've probably figured this out. It can also be beneficial to prey species to mingle with other prey species so they can keep a better watch for predators. For example, deer may be better than rabbits at spotting hawks in the sky, but rabbits may be better at spotting snakes in the grass. By hanging out together, they can alert each other to danger. From the point of view of a wild animal, humans are very unpredictable in how we behave, so they tend to err on the side of caution and avoid us.
Are humans wild or domesticated animals?
I've been thinking about this question a lot. I understand that the term domesticated means to be bred to be of service to human beings; however, if I were to ask this question I would have meant domesticated to be in the sense of living in an unnatural and un-wild environment. In my opinions, human beings have become very unnatural. We are not allowed to fight and kill each other without the law coming down on us. We have to wear clothes even when the weather doesn't call for it. When it is hot we use air conditioning and when it is cold we have heaters. We do not eat our food in its natural state most of the time but cook it or prepare it to be more palatable. We have marriage and relationships instead of just free sex. Our homes are filled with thousands of things we do not need but merely have because we find them attractive. When we want to go somewhere we do not walk but drive, or bicycle, or fly-all completely unnatural acts. When someone is terribly sick or old we do not just let them die but attempt to heal them. You can probably come up with hundreds of other examples. While we may not be "domesticated" we certainly are not wild.
Why are some wild animals nice to humans?
Some of them have no fear of humans, have never seen one and think they're just another animal. Some may have been rescued or even rehabilitated by humans, and remember they helped them, and others may sense that the person has no fear of them and accept them as not being prey. Animals have an uncanny ability of sensing people's emotions. You do need to remember, that while some animals may not fear you, they are still a wild animal, and are ruled by their instincts. Even a deer can be sweet and eat from your hand but if they get startled, they do head butt and pound with their hooves similar to a horse. A tame mouse or rat will bite if it feels threatened or is hurt, a pet snake will strike when hungry, and a predator will attack when scenting blood.
Are there any animals that an unarmed human can defeat?
Don’t underestimate human strength. A human is a very nasty customer in the fighting scales. Humans have very strong legs and backs which can easily take most similar sized animals to the ground. Most animals have small forearms and ankles. Human hand strength is the key to human superiority. Most men can lift animals below 80 pounds off their feet. Humans understanding of biology also helps, like surfers ability to attack giant sharks eyes to drive him away.In India a 44 year old woman was attacked by a male leopard. Her first swing in the fight the leopard blocked and it broke the woman's wrist. Soon after that the leopard leaped on her and both went to the ground. In a 20 minute fight the 44 year old woman was eventually able to choke the leopard to death. The woman sustained serious but non life threatening injuries.That is a prime example of a humans fighting ability.Although we can excell in fighting other predators we are terrible at fighting animals with horns. That is not uncommon in the animal world because horned animals are nearly the strongest fighters in the animal world.
What animals can a human win in a fight to death without any weapons?
I know that predators usually back off and run away when the fight isn't going as they expected(in other words, the fight isn't easy) and that prey animals usually run away without even fighting. But just suppose that you are in a big cage with the animal. Both you and the animal will keep fighting till death because there is no way out and the only way to survive is to kill the other 'contestant'. You can't use any weapons as there isn't anything around so you have to fight barehanded. You also wear some light clothes incapable of protecting your body. So what animals could a human beat? I am talking about all animals here. This question is quite random and admit but I am just curious because there are some people that say a human can kill most animals with his bare hands if he is determined enough. The problem is that the animal is also determined to survive. Animals fight for survival daily so I think they are better suited for it. I know we can beat small animals like cats and small dogs etc but I don't think that we can even take animals of our size or even some smaller ones. So what do you think? Can we beat a wolf? A coyote? A male or female deer? etc etc
What wild animal can a human in peak physical condition win against?
Is there any animal that stands a chance against a human? None. There is also no human that stands a chance against another human bent on winning.The problem lies in the question itself. While we’re intellectualising this, you can rest assured that at this moment, there is no animal, big or small, that is actively plotting to “win” against a human. There are probably many which are eyeing humans right now - but to eat and more as a last choice and the necessity to survive than in a competitive spirit.However, you can be sure there are many humans right now who’re planning wanton destruction on poor unsuspecting animals for the sake of sport, pleasure or even food (this last I add reluctantly, since there are choices, but that’s another discussion).There is no peak, physical condition needed to win against an animal that doesn’t even know what you’re thinking. All it needs is your guile.This answer was tangential to your question, I know, but then…
