Animal attacks. They're the stuff of nightmares and something everyone hopes they'll never encounter.

But the reality is, wandering the wilderness, there's always a chance something could be lurking

just out of sight, sizing you up as a tasty meal. In that scenario, your survival depends on what

you know and how you apply it.

So today, let's put your survival skills to the test on a journey through these animal attack riddles that could save your life.

Picture the scene. You're hiking deep in the woods when you happen upon a coyote in your path.

It spots you and begin snarling, but doesn't approach you.

You have a rock in your hand and the coyote is easily within throwing distance.

Which option is safest?

A, throw the rock at the coyote's head. B, throw the rock at the coyote's head,

B, throw the rock at the coyote's body, or C, throw the rock at the ground near the coyote's feet.

While landing a dead-on head or body shot might seem like a smart move, the coyote hasn't shown any signs of approaching you yet. While the snarling is aggressive, it may just be warning you to stay out of its territory.

Directly harming it could trigger an otherwise avoidable attack response. Aiming for the ground by its feet will likely frighten the coyote without causing it harm

and is more likely to make it flee than attack.

Thankfully, that's precisely what happens.

As soon as the pebble hits the ground, he flees, and you continue on your journey.

Further along your journey, you hit your ride on a boat. West drops you on the

riverbank of an extremely snowy forest before sailing off, leaving you alone. As you walk onto the only

path cleared in the deep snow, you hear a strange sound ahead. Then you spot it. It's a moose calf,

and worse yet, his mama is standing behind him, and she's acting kind of strange.

Her head is lowered, and she's looking in your general direction.

Could this be a sign of an imminent attack?
