When Animals Fight Back – Human vs Animal Stories Of Wildlife Encounters & Close Calls

Who would win, humans or animals? Our encounters with wildlife can be very common, after all, we share where we live with it. Some can be a man vs beast fight, where violent animals attack, and people barely survive, creating fascinating and hard-to-believe survival stories.
Other encounters can be much more friendly, such as safaris through the African savannah or harmless revenge of animals for invading their space. Whatever the reason for these encounters, behind them, are stories that are hard to believe. Have you had the opportunity have an up close encounter with a wild animal? Enjoy this virtual safari and discover the most Incredible Animal Encounters.

The Raccoon Who Was Mistaken for a Tiger
After an investigation by the NYPD, they came to the conclusion that there was no tiger, just a raccoon going around and looking for some food.

The Drunken Pigeon as Bird of the Year
This pigeon is nicknamed “New Zealand's drunker bird,” due to the large amounts of rotten and fermented fruit it eats during the summer. In 2018 the New Zealand pigeon was voted the bird of the year in that country. A pride for its inhabitants.

Penguins Stealing Sushi
In New Zealand, it is normal to see hundreds of penguins return to their homes after a long day of fishing, and although they do not usually come into contact with humans, a couple of penguins from the city of Wellington decided to change that habit.

Calf breaks into a Police Station
This happened in an Australian coastal city, where a calf managed to escape from the truck that was transporting it and razed the main entrance of a nearby police station.

A Pack of Dogs Seeking Vengeance
A man in the Chinese city of Chongqing kicked a defenseless dog just because it was resting in the parking lot, and although the animal left peacefully, it soon returned with some of his canine friends and began to wreck the car of the man who treated him.

The Octopus Who Hated people
Octopuses are one of the most intelligent animals in the world, so much so that they are capable of remembering things, holding a grudge, and taking revenge whenever they have the opportunity, as happened with Truman. This octopus from the aquarium in Boston, United States, did not get along with one of the volunteers who worked there, so every time he saw her, he threw a stream of water at her.

The Jellyfish who Shut Down a Nuclear Plant
In 2013, a nuclear plant in Sweden had to suspend its operation because a swarm of jellyfish blocked the water inlet pipes of the plant, preventing it from reaching the reactor.

The Python who Swallowed a Man
In March 2017, a 25-year-old man named Akbar Salubiro was reported missing from a palm oil plantation in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Gorillas Who Destroy Poacher Traps
Gorillas and humans are very similar in several ways, perhaps even more than we think. Incredibly, a group of these primates in Rwanda have learned to identify and destroy the traps that hunters use to catch their peers.

The Artist & the Tigers in a Rolling Cage
In 2007, artist Andrew Drosser decided to feed the tigers in a safari park in Germany inside a giant metal ball.

The Women Who Live with Crocodiles
The first is a crocodile tamer in Thailand, who risks her life daily by putting her head between the mouth of one of these reptiles just to entertain the public who go to the zoo. The most surprising thing is that this woman risks her life for only five dollars a day.
The second is Gabby Scampone, a 24-year-old American who loves being surrounded by crocodiles, so much so that she plays wrestling with them and kisses them on the snout.
