Yep, sometimes humans can be reckless, to say the least, and provoke wild animals to attack us.

But wild animals don't always wait for us to make the first move.

Some animals are so territorial, or bad-tempered, that they can strike without warning.

Today we compiled a list of the five most aggressive animals.

They won't wait for you to threaten them before attacking and killing you.

Here's how to survive the top five most aggressive animals.

Centuries of experience have made many predators fear humans, which has allowed us to explore many places without getting attacked by wild animals.

But some animals won't run away.

Every year, people die in the jaws, claws, and fangs of wild beasts.

Here are five amazing stories about the most aggressive beasts that will attack you just because they can.

We're about to see some of the scariest animals on Earth.

But if you want to choose the most powerful beast of all the species roaming the planet, what would it be?

I just watched a documentary that was trying to figure that out.

They were comparing the… what?

No, I wasn't distracted.

I was telling them about this amazing documentary on Magellan TV.

It's called Who is the King?

I love it because it explores the traits that make these powerful animals reign in their environments.

Which of them is king over the others? And why?

Is it the cheetah that can reach 113 km per hour in just three seconds?

Or is it the ferocity of lions?

Maybe it's the strength of sharks?

Just click on the link below to find out.

But if wild animals aren't your thing, don't worry.

There are plenty of pretty wild human documentaries to watch as well.

Magellan TV has an extensive and harrowing collection of true crime shows full of chilling stories

and mysteries that only humans could devise.

The thrill is guaranteed, because Magellan TV was created by real filmmakers, who are passionate about building the world's richest documentary hub,

including science, space, physics, technology, travel, and history.

Every week they add 15 to 20 hours of new content, including a growing collection in 4K.

With no ads, no exception.

And you can watch it everywhere, on all your devices and services, like Roku, Amazon Fire TV,

Apple TV, Google Play, and iOS anytime.

For only $4.99 a month with an annual subscription, you'll get over 3,500 hours of the most incredible documentaries.

And as a How to Survive subscriber, you'll get a whole month for free to try it out, just by clicking on the link in the description.

But to get to the world's richest documentary archive, you'll need to survive the wrath of these aggressive creatures first.

Don't worry, we've got you covered.

These massive mammals are called the Black Death.

They can grow 1.5 m tall, and weigh up to 870 kg.

They are extremely grumpy.

Can you imagine this ferocious beast charging at you at 60 km per hour?

On average, they killed 200 hunters every year in Africa, more hunters than any other animal.

One of them was Claude Clayhams.

He was hunting buffalo in South Africa, and had just shot one in the herd.

But instead of running away, Another herd member chased clay hands and gored him to death.

Since they are huge, strong, and vengeful, maybe you should avoid messing around with Cape buffalo.

But if one is chasing you, your best chance to survive would be to climb up a sturdy tree, because they can easily take down a small tree.

These exotic and beautiful creatures, native to the tropical forests of South Asia and Australia, can be up to 2 m tall.

But the main danger is at the end of their muscular, powerful legs.

Their razor-sharp claws grow up to 10 cm, and can slice any predator open with a single kick, including you.

And cassowaries are really bad-tempered.

Not surprisingly, they're known as the deadliest bird on the planet.

In most recorded attacks, the big bird wanted food, or defended its eggs or chicks.

So don't mess with their young.

Although experts recommend not feeding cassowaries, if you get chased by one of these beautiful but ferocious birds, giving it food could save your life.

These giants grow up to 1.8 m tall and weigh about 1,350 kg.

Their horns can grow up to 50 cm long, and they are known as nervous and aggressive animals.

Can you imagine that sharp, powerful weapon goring your skin at 55 km per hour?

Chantelle Baer, a 24-year-old South African student, experienced that in 2013.

She was posing for a picture just centimeters away from a couple of rhinos, and one suddenly gored her from behind.

It broke several of her ribs and collapsed one of her lungs.

Fortunately, after a long stay in the hospital, she survived.

If you encounter one of these giants, take advantage of their poor eyesight.

Usually, they can only see you if you move.

Back away slowly, and look for a tree or a large rock to climb.

Do not try to outrun a black rhino.

7 species of crocodiles are dangerous to humans.

They kill 1,000 humans every year.

But the saltwater croc is definitely the champion.

These 5-meter giants live in India, South Asia, and Australia.

They're opportunistic, merciless predators that eat almost any creature, even sharks.

And you're on the menu as well.

But surprisingly, some brave people have fought them off.

Australian Craig Dickman was fishing when a crocodile jumped out of the water and caught one of his arms.

He started punching the crocodile's palate from inside its mouth with his trapped hand.

The beast let go, then grabbed him again.

Craig did the only thing you can do to hurt a crocodile.

He punched it in the eye until the reptile let go.

The crocodile tore his arm, but Dickman got medical attention and survived.

These enormous vegetarians can grow up to 5 m long and weigh over 4.5 tons.

Despite that, they can run up to 45 km per hour.

Their massive snouts can open 180 degrees and bite with a force of 13,810 kPa.

That's twice as strong as a gorilla's bite.

They are extremely aggressive, and will attack almost anything that enters their territory, including humans.

They kill about 500 humans each year, making them the world's deadliest mammal living in the wild.

In 2019, American Kristen Yalder and her husband were canoeing on a river safari in Zimbabwe when they spotted some hippos.

Suddenly, one attacked her from underwater and capsized their canoe.

As she fell into the water, the beast caught her leg in its powerful mouth and began to pull her deeper into the water.

But she kept her cool and began punching and kicking the hippo's nose.

After about 45 seconds of pounding, the hippo released her and guides rescued her.

If you're on a safari in sub-Saharan Africa, avoid going into shallow water.

Why?

Because they spend 16 hours a day submerged in the water to keep their skin cool and moist.

But fortunately, they can't swim.

Oh boy, what a temper.

There are some really grumpy beasts out there.

Do you know that an aggressive, deadly spider is hunting and replacing their dreaded black widow?

Oh yeah.

Do you want to know which one it is and how it could be in your home right now?

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
