Dingos will stalk, attack, and kill children for food.

Of all the different bear types, the Black bear and the Polar bear will stalk and kill humans for food. You can survive a grizzly or a Kodiak bear but you'll never survive a Black bear or a Polar bear attack.

Anacondas will make a meal of you if you fall asleep in their locality.

Most large sharks such as Tigers, Mako, Bull, White-Tip, Great White, etc are opportunist eaters. Contrary to what the luvvies would have you believe, they don't have any religious objections to eating humans.

Wolves. Jackals. Hyenas. Lions. Tigers. Panthers. Jaguars.

These and many more will sniff the breeze and anticipate making a dinner of you.

To a shark, a body is just a body. . . why would they think of us as "special"?

Correct.

It's all part of the luvvie culture among the bearded university marine biology set that sharks are really 'A Man's Best Friend' ~ and anyone denying this is a racist, a xenophobe, a bigot, and quite possibly doesn't believe in gay marriage, and even supports Abbott's Border Protection initiatives.

Sharks aren't choosy eaters. If you've got protein hanging off your bones, then quite rightly they think of you as their Next Meal.

When ships sink at sea, the greatest fear is .... sharks.

Oceanic whitetip sharks, to be more precise.

Actually the research shows they are. Either they 1. Mistake us for something they like, give us a test bite
2. Are ill or short of food they like and get desperate

The 'research' has been contradicting itself since Year Dot, and became a moral crusade by the lefties to sanitise their reputation as man-eaters because it's not nice of us to be nasty with such accusations.

Sharks always give a 'test-bite' to check if something is edible. Once the blood starts flowing it's not long before you are the centrepiece of a thrashing, broiling, churning, bubbling mass of sharks ripping you apart and coming in for more.

Sharks may mistake us for seals etc, but they don't apologise and move away when they find out. On the contrary ~ they enjoy a change of diet whenever they happen upon a human bean.

Re: sharks being in rivers & estuaries because they are old, sick or pregnant is not correct. They inhabit these areas as normal parameters of their range & in all phases of a healthy existence. And not just bull sharks... Tigers, black tips, hammerheads.

Wow! Okay ...

Btw what point we're try to make when you quoted my comment about not being able to breath under water & listed all those air breathing marine mammals?

You said if it can't breathe under water then it's not supposed to be in the sea.

Another one's Salt Water crocodiles. The good old 'Saltie'.

Salt Water crocodiles are one of the few creatures on earth that actually prey upon human beings.

They used to make great hand-bags and shoes I'm told - and some swear by croc sangers..

And there's nothing wrong with harvesting them now that their numbers are back to normal, provided that are used completely, and not just for their skins. The indigenous people should be put 'back' in charge of doing this, and also the control (by havesting) of carp etc. Policing of the local river here in Queanbeyan is being done to a degree (it's unofficial) by the local Kooris . Part of the policy of a patriots movement would be to put the native people back in charge of the waterways. And to also have them develop some of the native birds for farming.

The scrub turkey appears, at least in comparison to the native American 'original', to have prospects.

And the Mallee fowl too looks like a potential table bird (it already has 'white' meat):

None of those 'prey' on humans, apart from the larger reptiles. Dingos and the like judge potential prey by it's size, they don't feed on humans.

Well whats fair for the goose is fair for the gander. I call for the culling of fisherman who kill sharks for flake.

Fraser Island has a notorious reputation for the local dingoes stalking, dragging into the bush as a pack, and then feasting on small children brought there on holiday by their parents.

Any pack of wild dogs, hyenas, dingoes, jackals, etc will prey on humans if they think you can't fight back.

An adult human, due to their size, would have very little to fear from any of those animals, that's despite being incapable of defending themselves from them without being armed. These animals all have a natural fear of man.

Herbert who told you that BS?

And a Kodiak bear & a Grizzly bear are one & the same thing....

the "Kodiak" is just a location name for grizzlies on Kodiak Island.

The only reason there are more black bear fatalities is because they have a much larger range than grizzlies.

Geesus Herbert you are full of BS today .. who told you that?

Several people have been bitten of Fraser Island over the years .... & that's because they have disobeyed directives not to feed the dingoes.

There has been only one fatality on Fraser ... & that was 9 yr old Clinton Gage in 2001.

This came after years of increased tourism & desensitising them to humans by feeding bought about after the closing of sand mining in 1976 & the cessation of logging in the 1990's.

A tree hugging mob called Fraser Island Defenders Organisation (FIDO) led by a self interested cnut John Sinclair put Fraser on the map for tourism resulting in this over exposure of dingoes to people.

Herb you sure you don't work for one of those 3rd rate tabloids? Roll Eyes

Are you serious?

Hint: Pack animals.

A human lying out in the wilds with a broken leg, or trapped under a buggy that's rolled onto him is a pack animal's wet-dream.

The Kodiak is classified URSUS ARCTOS MIDDENDORFFI. The Grizzly is classified URSUS ARCTOS HORRIBILIS. There are both genetic and physical differences.

No need to apologise, Gonads. I don't expect perfection in my fellow human beans.

No ... what I actually said was that Black bears and Polar bears will actively stalk humans for food ~ and no, it's not because they're mistaking you for a seal or a baby walrus. It's because they actually LIKE snacking on us. Nothing to do with protecting their young ... Nothing to do with defending their territory.

Quote:

Aggression occurs when people get involved with dingoes that are feeding, roaming or being aggressive.

Here we go, Gonads ~ the 'money shot' ...

Quote:

Dingoes—individuals or as a small pack—display aggression when they actively stalk or circle people, lunge at them, nip or bite savagely. Dingoes are capable of killing people.

Again, don't apologise ... Just put an extra few coins in the Poor Box at church this Sunday.
