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.

48

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.

78

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

Number 6.
91

95

98
Number 5.
99
Alligators or crocodiles.
100
The jaws of these animals are the strongest on the planet.
101

120
It is necessary to know several behavioral rules.
121
Don't run.
122

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.

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.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
