Humans and animals living on the same earth should coexist in harmony, but many times some animals will actively or passively attack humans, and some animals are still very strong, often putting humans in danger, such as tigers, crocodiles, brown bears and other large carnivores, no one wants to encounter them in the wild. Therefore, it is important to study how to respond to animal attacks.
For example, many people wonder: What should I do when I am chased by a dog? What kind of escape strategy should be adopted when encountering a wolf narrow road, and can an adult healthy man single out a wolf? ...... Recently, some people asked, if an adult male holding a knife, can he fight a brown bear?
Images of humans dueling with beasts of prey often appear on television screens: in the movie "Wilderness Hunter", the character played by "Little Plum" fights fiercely with a big brown bear; in the TV series "Water Margin", Wu Song single-handedly kills a tiger, the king of the hundred beasts... Moreover, beasts of prey are often not enemies of the class. Of course, these are all fictional scenes, and are humans in the real world also rivals of beasts of prey?
Not long ago, foreign media reported an incident of a brown bear attacking people. The brown bear, which weighed 600 kilograms, suddenly attacked two Russians who were fishing at the time, and the 48-year-old may have lost consciousness in two clicks because he was old. The brown bear turned to pounce on another 23-year-old boy, and despite his fear, he still picked up a knife and killed the brown bear in an emergency.
Many people are often blindly confident because of some individual cases, after all, this is only a small probability event, does not mean that you can not put the beast in your eyes, mistakenly think that when you encounter them, you can take a knife or find a stick to deal with, which is not cherishing your own life. When encountering a large beast like a brown bear in the wild, it is very unwise to be tough on the front, and the correct way to do it is to rely on wisdom to escape from danger, and wisdom is the unique advantage of human beings from animals.
In this matter, the 23-year-old Russian boy did not solve the brown bear with a knife alone. Before he took the knife and engaged the brown bear in hand-to-hand combat, he fired several shotguns at the brown bear, and hit it, and the shotgun in his hand was knocked away by the brown bear before he had to continue the fight with the knife. Therefore, in this incident, the guy can kill the brown bear in fact, there is an element of luck.
More importantly, the 23-year-old Russian boy is not an ordinary person, he is a real boxing champion who won the 64 kg gold medal in the Russian Federation Army Boxing Tournament as early as 2019, and his physical fitness, strength and agility are naturally much better than ordinary people. What if you were to change to an ordinary man and take a knife and want to fight a brown bear? I really can only think about it.
What is a brown bear? It is one of the largest mammals of the carnivorous order on land, with a body length of 2.8 meters, a shoulder height of 1.5 meters, and the heaviest Kodiak brown bear can weigh 800 kg and reach a height of 2.5 meters when upright. In terms of size and tonnage, brown bears simply crush humans, and in such a disparity in appearance conditions, how can humans single out brown bears!
Brown bears are not only large, but also strong, with strong forearm swings, and rough claws can cause great damage. In addition to the good congenital conditions, the brown bear's temperament is also very aggressive, and can kill a cow in one breath. With a strong and stout body and strong fighting power, brown bears are generally not preyed upon in nature, there are no natural enemies except humans, and humans can only deal with brown bears with many-on-one or high-tech tools such as guns.
So, if we encounter a brown bear in the wild, since we can't "hit it hard", how should we dodge its attack? As I said earlier, we should draw on the wisdom of our human beings as higher beings. First, although the brown bear's claws are very long, and the tip of the front paws can extend forward by 15 centimeters, its claws are very blunt and it is not good at climbing trees, so when encountering brown bears, you can buy time to climb to the trees.
Second, if the brown bear is already chasing you, don't run in a straight line, because you can't run it. Don't look at it "bulky", it runs fast, can reach a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, think about the speed you usually drive to know how fast this speed. Moreover, the brown bear's endurance is also very good, if you keep running in a straight line, the result can be imagined.
So how should it run? Newton's first law is to be used here. Newton's first law, also known as the law of inertia, states that the larger the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, the more difficult it is to change the original state of motion. Since the brown bear is large and massive, take advantage of this, when it runs over and is about to catch up with you, it can be flexible and dodge to both sides, while the brown bear has no time to change direction and can only continue to move forward.
Because the mass of people is much lighter than that of brown bears, relatively speaking, the inertia is much smaller, the state of motion is easy to change, originally running forward along a straight line, it is completely possible to suddenly dodge to the left and right; and the brown bear has a large mass, the situation is just the opposite, it is inertial, the state of motion is difficult to change, the original is to run forward in a straight line, it is necessary to maintain this state, can not do a temporary change of direction. Whenever it's about to catch up with you, you suddenly dodge to the left and right, repeatedly circle it a few times, and it collapses.
All in all, when humans face a brown bear alone, it is unlikely that they can deal with it by brute force, even with a knife. However, human beings are able to climb to the top of the food chain by relying on wisdom. If we really encounter brown bears or other beasts in the wild, we should make full use of our brain power and use our wisdom to get out of danger.
