From the TipSheet here are some tips when you experience the so-called "worst-case-scenarios".

• Alligator Attack: Gators are quick but only in short bursts. So run far and run fast. But if one clamps down on a limb jab its snout. Gators often open their mouth when hit there.

• Killer-bee Attack: Run through tall grass or weeds to disrupt their flight pattern. But don't dive into water. They'll track your air bubbles and sting when you resurface.

• Shark Attack: They prey on the weak and injured, so show your strength and fight back. Forgo the nose (it's a myth) and go for the eyes and gills.

• Bear Attack: They may outrun you, but because of their weight, bears can't go as high as people in trees. They also hate surprises, so wear bells when hiking.
