1. Hunting Painted Dog /African Wild dog The African wild dog hunts by approaching prey silently, then chasing it in a pursuit clocking at up to 66 km/h (41 mph) for 10–60 minutes. African wild dogs adjust their hunting strategy to the particular prey species. They will rush at wildebeest to panic the herd and isolate a vulnerable individual, but pursue territorial antelope species (which defend themselves by running in wide circles) by cutting across the arc to foil their escape. Accounts of encounters with humans: THIS is the horrific moment a man is mauled to death by a pack of wild dogs as he tries to fight them off with rocks. "...He continues to throw rocks but every time he bends over to pick more up, the dogs move towards him, slowly getting closer. 1 Like

2. HYENAS Generally, hyenas are known to drive off larger predators, like lions, from their kills, despite having a reputation in popular culture for being cowardly. Hyenas readily scavenge from human corpses; in Ethiopia, hyenas were reported to feed extensively on the corpses of victims of the 1960 attempted coup[63] and the Red Terror. A pair of man-eating hyenas, responsible for killing 27 people in Mulanje, Malawi in 1962, weighed in at 72 kg (159 lb) and 77 kg (170 lb) after being shot. Several attacks have occurred in India; in 1962, 9 children were thought to have been taken by hyenas in the town of Bhagalpur in the Bihar State in a six-week period, and 19 children up to the age of four were killed by hyenas in Karnataka in 1974. A pack of hyenas dragged a man from his bed and tore him to pieces in a savage attack. 1 Like

Encounter with a lions These dramatic photos taken in South Africa show a lion capturing a 144lb hyena before ripping it apart. Chad said: 'We arrived to find a male lion suffocating a hyena. After a couple of minutes, the lion left the hyena for dead. Unfortunately for the hyena, it was still clinging on to life - it was severely wounded though. That was when a second lion then approached and continued to suffocate it. 1 Like 1 Share

3. SALTWATER CROCODILE The saltwater crocodile is a large and opportunistic hypercarnivorous apex predator. It ambushes most of its prey and then drowns or swallows it whole. It is capable of prevailing over almost any animal that enters its territory, including other apex predators such as sharks, varieties of freshwater and saltwater fish including pelagic species, invertebrates such as crustaceans, various reptiles, birds, and mammals, including humans. The saltwater crocodile has a long history of attacking humans who unknowingly venture into its territory. As a result of its power, intimidating size and speed, survival of a direct predatory attack is unlikely if the crocodile is able to make direct contact. On March 29, 1987, Ginger Faye Meadows, an American model was killed by a crocodile while swimming in the Prince Regent River near Broome before her birthday. She and Jane Burchett were cornered by the crocodile, but she tried to get away from it. On March 19, 2006, University of Washington medical professor Richard Root, age 68, who had moved to alleviate a shortage of physicians, was killed on a wildlife tour of the Limpopo River when a crocodile emerged from the river, and pulled him underwater. On May 29, 2016, 46-year-old Cindy Waldron and her childhood friend, Leann Mitchell, 47, went for a late night swim at Thornton Beach in Daintree National Park, Australia, to celebrate the end of Mitchell's cancer treatment. Waldron was snatched by a crocodile and called for help. Mitchell tried to save her but was unsuccessful. What were believed to be Waldron's remains were found inside a 14-foot crocodile on June 3, 2016.

Lalasticlala, Seun Bot keep bugging on this thread... Deleting posts for spamming banning as well... What's the reason for this? It's really annoying. I had barely created three posts when my posts keep getting deleted. |
