      I once passed a Tiger Snake in the blue mountains in OZ with just half a bar width, I rode down a hill in a forest and saw the snake just a second before I passed it. It lifted its head up but I was too fast, so she could not bite me

      i work for royal mail so early starts, been there a few years and over time i've gotten use to taking my bike out in the morning before work (i get 100% and work can have whats left)
      last summer one of my friends decided to tag along on my single track route, everything was fine until the final stretch which is in a field that takes us home i'm about 10 meters in front and here him crash behind me....stop and turn around to see the fork snapped off his bike and my mate laying on the ground...he said a badger just walked onto the trail right in front of him and he had no time to stop, he was banged up pretty good his bike was completely destroyed we stayed and looked for the badger for 10 minuets but couldn't find it guess it was better off than my mate was

      Just about stopped before a rattlesnake on the trail in North Carolina... Had to shoo bears on same trip.
      A troop of baboons with the huge alpha male leading them walking the trail in Cape Town was a scary head on... Huge canine teeth (afterwards, a local said to just slowly keep riding toward them and at the last minute they will move out the way... Next encounter I did that... It works... Game of chicken basically!).
      Also SA, had a boomslang (very poisonous snake) strike at me while riding through a tunnel of vegetation... They are tree snakes. It missed and hissed. I thought initially I had a puncture... Hisssssss
      Yep, Adder on Mendips once...
      And deer, buzzards, kites,
      Riding through longleat in the dark is always a mind game... 'what if a lion has escaped' 🤔😂

    Thanks for highlighting my mountain lion encounter! All the talk about snakes made me think of the many encounters with rattlesnakes here in southern California. A couple of times when I've come across large rattlesnakes stretched across the trail but I'm going too fast to stop, I've had to hop over them. There's always a moment afterwards when you mentally check to make sure the snake didn't strike, but it's always been fine.

    In case anyone does encounter dangerous animals out on the trail and actually wants to know what to do (from my former experience of doing wilderness search and rescue in the Pacific Northwest of the US):
    Cougar (mountain lion) - Stand still, facing the cat. Do not look it in the eyes or make aggressive movements towards it. Make loud human noises, like yelling, and make yourself larger by raising your arms or spreading your jacket. If it does attack, fight back.
    Black bear - Stand still and face the bear. Just like a cougar, avoid direct eye contact or aggression, but make loud noises and make yourself as big as possible. If it attacks, fight back.
    Brown bear/grizzly bear - DO NOT RUN. Do not make eye contact with the bear. Do not approach the bear. If the bear is not approaching you, WALK away slowly. Wave your arms and speak quietly so the bear knows you are human. If the bear charges, DO NOT RUN. You cannot outrun the bear. You cannot outride the bear. You also cannot fight the bear. If the bear attacks, curl into a ball or lie on your stomach and play dead. DO NOT FIGHT, do not make noise. If it loses interest and leaves, wait until you are certain it is gone from the area before getting up to look for help.
    Wolf - Make yourself as big as possible and stare directly at the wolf (or wolves). Do not turn your back on the wolf or run away. With wolves, you DO want to make eye contact and act aggressive. Wave your arms, clap your hands, yell at the wolf, etc. If it approaches, back away slowly while continuing to make as much noise as aggressively as possible. You can climb a tree to get away from it, since wolves cannot climb. If it attacks, fight back.
    Coyote - Don't turn your back to the animal. Yell at it and wave your arms. If it approaches, you can throw stuff at it (rocks and sticks, not your bike). If it attacks, fight back.
    Moose - The moose will probably not attack you, and it's best to wait at a good distance for the moose to move on. They can attack if startled or threatened, however. If they start to approach you, put something solid (like a tree or vehicle) between you and the moose. If they charge, run behind said solid object. If a moose successfully charges you and knocks you over, curl up, cover your neck and head with your arms, and hold still. Wait until it's gone to get up.
    Venomous snakes - Be aware of what venomous snakes you might encounter in the area where you're biking and keep an eye out for them. If you spot one, give it a wide berth. I'm most familiar with rattlesnakes (I once accidentally stepped on one in the dark, which was terrifying) - with rattlesnakes, don't throw anything at them as they may strike at it and move closer. If you're bitten by any snake, the general protocol is: Move away from the snake and find a place to sit down. Stay calm. If you know what type of snake bit you, remember that. If you don't know what type of snake bit you, DO NOT GO AFTER THE SNAKE. It is never a good idea to chase a snake down to identify it after you have been bitten. (For those asking who would do such a thing: you'd be surprised.)
    Hold the injured limb below the level of your heart. Remove any constrictive clothing, such as watches or rings, from the affected area. Do not attempt to cut or suck the venom out. Do not apply a tourniquet or other compression. No first aid is better than bad first aid. Try to stay calm and avoid raising your heart rate, as this will make the venom circulate faster. If you can, call for help. If you are alone and are not able to call for help, start walking slowly towards the nearest place where you CAN access or call for help. I would advise against riding out, even slowly, because many types of snake venom can cause symptoms like dizziness or loss of sensation in the bitten limb, which could significantly impair your bike handling skills, and the last thing you need is to crash after being bitten by a snake.
    Alligators - I've never been anywhere that alligators live, but I did look it up for completeness since they're mentioned here. Generally, give them a wide berth and back away slowly if you happen upon one. If it rushes you, though, run away (or ride, if you're already on the bike - don't stop to mount up) in a STRAIGHT LINE. Do NOT zigzag. Alligators are very fast, but only over extremely short distances, so your chances are good. If it does catch and bite you, fight back by hitting it in the eyes and snout.
    Shark - How did you encounter a shark while mountain biking?

    I have come across 40+ black bears while riding and all but 3 ran away as fast as they could. One just stood there and looked at me. 2 charged me stomping their paws but stopped 10 meters or so short of me. I just get off the bike, put the bike between me and the bear and talk to them. 😀
    I’ve nearly run over more rattlesnakes and copperheads than I can count. Only one took a strike at me.
    Most dangerous encounter were 2 big off leash dogs at Tsali. They wanted a piece of me and the owner had no control.

    Just started my North Idaho, USA ride, heard galloping, coming from up the trail. I thought, "this trail is way to steep for a horse to run down", only to look up and see a Grizzly coming around the corner, running at full speed away from a mountain biker behind him. I was literally bracing for impact, when he managed to dig in and make a hard turn away from me only six paces away.

  • @frontierfishingwithryanmac1981

    AT the end of the 2021 season I came flying around a blind bend on a single track (which lead to a dog park) and came nose to nose with a mountain lion on the trail. We were both equally surprised to meet each other but he jumped into the woods pretty quick and ran off. I was only 200ft away from the main trail and when I came too I saw people walking their dogs and told them to get out of there before their dog became dinner for the mountain lion. Definitely the scariest moment in my mountain biking experience.

    I get followed by coyotes once in a while, but it’s rare for them to attack people, so no worries. I have also seen rattlesnakes, javelinas, and bobcats on the trail at Phoenix South Mountain Park in Arizona.

    Aaaaaand that's why riding and camping in the UK is the best! 😆 A few years back I was gravel riding in Glacier NP with six friends (thankfully) when we came over a rise and encountered a grizzly. Thankfully she was fairly chill and wandered off once we made enough noise, but it was one of the more intense moments of my life for sure.

They can be really dangerous, there suprising agile and fast. They can even jump 3 feet in the air. Ive also had wolf encounters BUT nothing compares to UK seagulls!!!! There savage!

    What i've learned from reading into animals for photography and such, in most cases it's humans getting too close too quickly to animals with cubs.
    Of course, with animals like snakes etc. there is also just that statistical chance.
    To minimise the risk, get something like the "TrailBell" i think it's called. A small bell that you can release while in the woods or in crowded areas and lock (so it's not constantly ringing) if you're just casually pedalling along somewhere with good sight.
    Also, if you know that it's e.g. the season where bears have fresh cubs, maybe avoid their usual spots or the most vulnerable day times (often dusk or dawn). Could be hard in some areas of the world, but at least try it.
    And regarding disturbing the animals, nightrides are an absolut catastrophy!

    I have only had ducks, wallabies, the occasional kangaroo, rabbits and one red bellied black snake sunning itself whilst riding. I see more animals driving than riding and have unfortunately hit one big kangaroo. I have had a wedge tailed eagle gliding down right past the front of my Ute and those talons definitely make you want a bit of a barrier between you and it. They're much bigger than you think when they're up close and personal.

    I saw an alligator along a trail at Loyce Harpe Park in Lakeland, FL. I'm from Ohio, so it was quite thrilling.
    I saw a black bear about an 1/8 of a mile ahead on the Ohio to Erie trail in October. But it ran off pretty quick.
    Dogs are the most common and scariest thing I encounter. A gravel rider in our state lost her leg to a dog attack recently.

    In 2016, I was there outside Glacier NP when the head park ranger of security was killed by a bear. He was riding a trail near West Glacier in the lead with another rider (brother-in-law?) and went around a corner directly into the bear. The ranger was armed with a handgun; but, didn't have the opportunity to draw his weapon. Huge impact on the area as locals found out about his death.

    A male wild boar with tusks can quite easily kill a human with a goring to a vital part or seriously injured by goring you. Keep away, especially if with piglets, that can be territorial and Highly dangerous

    Rich, don't want to burst your bubble but snakes are venomous not poisonous. Venom is injected into a person, whereas poison is typically injested

    On average, wild boar is times more dangerous than a bear. Boars are quite agressive in their nature and if they have biglets, then even more so. And they are flipping fast too!!!

    #captioncontest The princess knew the old stories of the kingdom, that by kissing the frog he'd turn into a handsome prince and they'd live happily ever after.
    But a girl has standards, even with amphibians.
    She was being to feel that this frog ( as it stared her with it's glassy eyes almost pleading for her attention ) may have once been strange bald man that had been accidentally licked by a frog princess while attempting to catch a fly on his ploughman's lunch and the whole fairy tale magic thing had gone awry.
    Now wasn't the time to take risks, it wasn't a particularly attractive frog anyway. Maybe it would just be best to find an old abandoned tower and grow her hair out, something was bound to turn up.
