Are You Telling An Eight-Year-Old To Survive In The Wilderness? - Chapter 306
306 Lion vs Tiger
Bell’s expression became serious.
“Our luck is not good. If I’m not wrong, we should have already stepped into the territory of a Siberian tiger.
…
In order not to encounter this Siberian tiger, we have to change our direction.”
Standing up, Bell walked in the opposite direction of the footprints.
He did not forget to explain.
“Actually, under normal circumstances, Siberian tigers rarely attack humans.
Because felines are cautious. Once a human steps into their territory, these Siberian tigers will not immediately attack them.
They will carefully observe this unknown creature.
When it feels that you are of no threat, only then will it attack.
But like I said, that is under normal circumstances.
If this is the first time this Siberian tiger has seen a human, it should not attack you.
However, in our current situation, it’s winter in Siberia. If you encounter a Siberian tiger in the wild, the above theory will be invalid.”
As he spoke, Bell climbed over another snow slope which exhausted some of his energy.
“If you encounter a tiger in the wilderness, the first thing you have to do is to maintain your calm.
In the wilderness, no matter what beast you encounter, especially these ferocious tigers, remember not to show your back to them.
If you choose to turn and escape, they will only think that you are no different from other food and immediately attack you.
If the tiger does not immediately attack you and only roars at you, you have to retreat while maintaining its gaze.
Such actions will make it vigilant to a certain extent and make it hesitate to attack you.
Of course, if you encounter a hungry tiger, doing this is useless.
If it is already rushing at you, I suggest you find a tall tree and climb up. The higher the better.
Tigers can climb trees.
To be precise, all felines know how to climb, but because of their size and paws, they cannot climb very high.
Unless it is a serious situation, as long as you climb a tree, the tiger will not chase after you.
These Siberian tigers are too heavy and can only climb a few meters.
If you climb the tree faster, you should be able to survive. ”
“By the way, I forgot to mention something.
These tigers have good jumping ability. When they jump, the Siberian tigers can reach 7 meters.
If you don’t want to be slammed down, I suggest you climb more than 10 meters.
These are the best methods to deal with tigers in the wilderness.
Unless you have enough firearms and have defenses, I suggest you follow my instructions to survive.”
In fact, when he saw the footprints, Bell’s heart sank. Because from the freshness of the footprints, they were left recently.
Bell only hoped that this Siberian tiger was no longer in this pine forest and had gone elsewhere.
Otherwise, he would probably not be able to sleep peacefully.
The sky gradually darkened again, and the snow slowly started drifting in the wind.
In the current situation, Bell did not hate snow because it could increase the surrounding temperature to a certain extent.
Walking in the pine forest, Bell’s hearing was greatly suppressed. He could only hear the whistling snow.
Through the camera, the audience also saw the scene of Bell. The beauty of nature was displayed quite well.
However, Bell was in no mood to appreciate this beautiful scene.
He only hoped to find a shelter and start a fire to eat delicious roasted meat.
If the conditions allowed it, Bell hoped to get a good sleep.
While rushing in the planned direction, Bell calculated the time until nightfall. At the same time, he had to pay attention to places suitable to build a shelter.
The audience in the live-stream would ask Bell some questions from time to time.
Many people were curious about large cats like Siberian tigers.
“I just saw someone asking who is stronger between a Siberian tiger and an African lion.
To be honest, they are really difficult to compare.
They are like two evenly matched martial artists. In a match, the outcome can usually be decided in an instant.
If the African lion and the Siberian tiger are to be compared, there are many factors that can affect the outcome.
The two of them are top predators in the food chain. As long as the difference in size is less than 50kg, no one can guarantee that they can hunt the other.
If I have to make a comparison, I think the Siberian tiger’s chances of winning should be higher.
Firstly, African lions do not have the advantage in size.
This is like how humans are categorized into different weights in official combat sports.
Because the two live in different environments, Siberian tigers are generally larger than African lions.
Second is their weapons.
Tigers have thicker and longer canines than lions, especially Siberian tigers.
In addition, the forelimbs of cats are more agile. If they really fought, the Siberian tiger could use its two front paws to slap in turns. This is something that lions cannot do.
That’s why I think the Siberian tiger’s chances of winning are much higher than the African lion’s.”
Bell explained to the audience.
“Of course, although that’s the case, this doesn’t mean that African lions are useless and have no advantage.
In terms of advantage, the mane on the neck of the African lion can be used to confuse it to a certain extent, preventing the tiger from accurately biting the throat of the African lion. ”
In fact, there were videos of lions and tigers fighting online.
When the two fought, the tiger would often use its agile front claws to slap the lion.
However, Bell had not seen these things personally, so he could not give a definite answer.
The two species lived in completely different environments. One was in a snowy environment like Siberia, while the other was in the hot African grassland.
If they wanted to see the two fight, they could only see it in various zoos or circuses.
