19
Sharks The good news is that out of 150 species of sharks existing on Earth, only 20 attack humans.
20
Most of them just don't perceive you as food.
21
So if not something tasty, what good are you?
22
Now down to the bad news.
23
If a shark gets interested in you, it will be tough to break away.
24
To not attract sharks, prevent blood or urine from getting into the water.
25
Sharks can smell these at a distance of several miles.

27
Especially don't try to escape in a panic.

You will look like prey this way.
29
Move slowly.
30
If you have been caught, aim at the eyes and gills.
31
These zones are the most sensitive.
32
Number 12.
33
Kangaroos.
34
Yes, surprisingly, a kangaroo can pose a threat to a person.
35
However, it will only happen if you enter its territory and the animal feels danger.
36
To avoid a conflict, do the following.
37
Cough.
38
Your coughs should be short and quiet.
39
The kangaroo will consider it a sign of a disease and most likely won't attack you.
40
Slowly back away.
41
This way you will look smaller, therefore less dangerous.
42
Don't turn away and run.
43
It will only provoke the animal.
44
Remember that kangaroos are perfect jumpers.
45
It will catch up with you in a few moments.
46
Number 11.
47
Lions If you have encountered a lion, maintain eye contact.
48
Don't turn your back and don't move your eyes away.
49
It will give the predator the time to attack.
50
Try to look more massive.
51
To create such an impression, lift your arms and jack it up.
52
If you look big and threatening, the animal will try to avoid the encounter.
53
Speak to the lion in a reasonably loud and confident voice.
54
Make sounds and gesticulate.
55
Such a behavior isn't typical for a victim.
56
This way you will baffle the predator, so it will perceive you as an irritating presence, which is better to stay away from.
57
Number 10.
58
Elephants.
59
Elephants are clever and quite friendly animals, but they are known to attack people.
60
It is especially true about female elephant mothers if they decide that you are dangerous for their babies.
61
If you come across an elephant, pay attention to their body language.
62
If their trunk is curled and the ears are pulled back, it means they are going to crush you.
63
If the animal approaches, don't run.
64
Try to find something to become a barrier between you and the elephant.
65
It can be a stone or a tree.
66
Number 9.
67
Rhinoceroses Rhinoceroses have bad eyesight.
68
That's why it is easy to frighten them and provoke them to attack.
69
These animal speeds can reach 37 miles per hour.
70
This is the reason it is really hard to outrun them.
71
Hard but not impossible.
72
The only way to escape from the rhinoceros is to hide behind a tree.
73
It is a substantial obstacle for the animal.
74
Also, it won't follow you through the bushes or high grass.
75
8. Hippopotamuses These animals seem cute, but this image is very misleading.
76
They can be extremely dangerous.
77
Despite their weight, hippopotamuses can run at a speed of 18 .5 miles per hour.
78
They don't have a perfect character as well.
79
Angering them is easy peasy.
80
If the weather is hot, try not to be a good person to enter the bushes.
81
The level of water lowers during the drought, so the hippos hide in the high grass.
82
To make the animals leave you alone, climb a tree, rock, or a steep hill.
83
Wait there until it goes away.
84
Number 7.
85
Bulls Despite the widespread opinion, bulls react to the movement, not to the red or any other color.
86
That's why, if a bull is running at you, stay straight and still.
87
Use your hat, t -shirt, or other clothes you have at hand as bait.
88
When the animal runs up close enough, throw the thing as far away from you as possible.
89
The bull will change direction and follow this object.
90
Number 6.
91
Jellyfish.
92
A jellyfish burn brings a long -lasting, nagging ache.
93
Some Some people believe that peeing on the damaged surface can relieve the pain, but it is just an urban legend.
94
Immediately after being burnt, wash this place with salt water.
95
Pure water will only worsen the situation.
96
After that, using a pair of tweezers or a stick, move the remaining parts of the jellyfish away.
97
If you have antihistamine ointment, apply it to the place of the burn.
98
Number 5.
99
Alligators or crocodiles.
100
The jaws of these animals are the strongest on the planet.
101
In this case, breaking free won't be a piece of cake.
102
If you've been grabbed, hit the eyes.
103
The eyes and the throat of these animals are their most sensitive areas.
104
To make the animal let you go, aim at them.
105
If you notice that the predator is crawling toward you on the ground, make as much noise as possible run in a zigzag.
106
This is exactly the situation when to run and shout is the best solution.
107
If you see a crocodile while swimming, don't create splashes.
108
Don't shout.
109
It will draw the unwanted attention.
110
Try to be as quiet as you can and swim away.
111
Number four, snakes.
112
Most snakes are neither dangerous nor poisonous.
113
People get 80 % of their bites trying to catch this reptile.
114
If you notice that a snake is following you, stomp your feet.
115
The vibrations will confuse the snake and it will let you be.
116
If you have been bitten, don't try to suck the poison out from the wound as they do in the movies.

Better to wash the bite with running water, apply a tourniquet, and call an emergency.
118
Number 3.
119
Bears Bears attack people quite rarely, but if you get in the wrong place at the wrong time, it might still happen.
120
It is necessary to know several behavioral rules.
121
Don't run.
122
If you run, you will look like prey.
123
A wild animal will follow you, at least out of instinct.
124
And if you think that you cannot run a bear, forget it.
125
They can develop a speed of 30 miles per hour.
126
Fall to the ground and curl into a ball.
127
Use your hands to cover your neck.
128
Pretend to be dead.
129
This way you won't be considered as a threat any longer.
130
The bear might toss you around for a bit.
131
Don't panic.
132
Play dead a bit longer, even if it leaves you alone, because these smart animals often stay around and watch their prey.
133
Number 2.
134
Gorillas Gorillas are called the kings of the jungle, not without reason.
135
They are leaders who protect their family and land.
136
They don't attack you if you behave obediently.
137
Sit down to seem less large and not to tower over the gorilla.
138
Try to whisper and avoid direct eye contact.
139
In case of an attack or approach, curl into a ball.
140
Gorillas are proud animals.
141
As a rule, they won't attack the weak and defenseless.
142
Number 1.
143
Bees Bees will protect their hive.
144
They can bite even if you are just walking by.
145
Dark colors attract bees' attention.
146
That's why if you're dressed in a black t -shirt, your chances of being stung by these insects are much higher.
147
If a hive of bees or just several of them are following you, hide in a dark place.
148
The lack of proper lighting will throw the insects off your track.
149
We hope you will never have to escape from a rhinoceros, swim away from a crocodile, or meet a hungry lion.
150
However, now you will be able to protect yourself in the wilderness.
151
Share this video with your friends, make sure they stay safe.
152
And we will appreciate your likes.
153
The more of them we get, the more people will be able to see this video, and perhaps it will save somebody's life.
154

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
