So hippos are quite a gnarly one.
And then obviously elephants.
Oh, man, you just got to run.
Like it's not something that you can kind of stand up to.
It's like you just got to get away from it.
It's, yeah, it's not, it's slowly get around a wall or something.
It's not, it's not, it's a kind of a dodgy place to be in.
Yeah, usually they're not particularly comfortable being away out of water.
So you certainly don't want to get between a hippopotamus and water.
That's one of the worst things you can do is get between a hippo and where it wants to be.
And then obviously elephants.
Elephants you have to be very careful with, especially on foot.
But again, with an elephant, you don't want to run away.
You never want to run away with an elephant.
You just have to stand up and shout and clap.
And basically you should generally with a lot of animals in the wild, especially with big cats, you also should not run.
You should stand your ground, clap, shout, make yourself as big as possible.
Yeah.
Yeah, and ideally you should always be in a place where the wind is in your favor so that they can't smell you.
So always keep a bearing of the wind direction and always stay upwind of them so that they can't smell you because that's how all of these animals are invariably reacting to the presence of a human.
