Scary, but ironically lazy. You’ll have to fight them off, but they’re not gonna bother with someone who’s not worth the effort, and humans often aren’t big enough to be worth the effort.
Strategy is to pick up a big stick. Claws are sharp, so try to avoid a pounce. You can probably take a swipe or two, but if it digs in, you’ll be done and it likely won’t give up. Smack its face, hard, and shouldn’t be too big of a problem, all things considered.
If we count human “predators”, I’m confident I can deal with virtually any child abuser.
My regular hiking trail hasn’t seen a cougar sighting in over a year but it’s still a possibility.
We have black bears up north from where I live but most black bears are more afraid of humans than we are of them. They’re like giant shy racoons.
Cougars on the other size you up… Every video encounter I’ve seen online is the person encountered scared shitless and the cougar looking them up and down probably thinking “hmm I could totally take down this hooman 🤔”
Can’t outrun them, they’re already stronger than man, they have incredibly sharp claws and teeth, apart from their monster size paws, they always go for the neck… They’ll mount you in an instant bite down on your neck and bring you down and have a nice little snack of you.
Those bastards already terrify me in Red Dead Redemption 2. Much more IRL…
The survival Strat is to lay down and hope they get bored of you, I can’t imagine a worse death than rag dolling yourself while a bear plays yarn ball with your head hoping he gets bored and walks away… and you know.. if he does… (best case scenario right?)… after that you just have to stand up, pull the giant flap of skin that used to be your face over the remains of your orbital bone and with the remains of your hands minus a digit or two and ignoring the bifurcation of your tarsals and hope you have just about enough dexterity to help you stand back up on the remains of your legs… whatever they look like now… then just like… hike back out… and hope you don’t see him again… and that he doesn’t decide to follow the pretty obvious trail of blood you’re leaving behind…

Any of them, and die pathetically.
A pack of lions. My only strategy is to die.
Moose, even though it’s not a predator. They would kill me for fun
A big cat like a mountain lion. Remain calm and hope they lose interest if they don’t, shoot it.

A shark.
Here in the Uk, maybe a badger? Not really sure, not really worried about it though.
Abroad: Polar bear, and try and avoid its attention, if it wants to, it will kill you and there’s essentially nothing you can do about it.
Actual Cannibal Shia LaBoeuf
No doubt mountain lion. It saw and stalked you long before you noticed. Act big, be loud, and if in dire straits pull out the 9mm
A human. I’m hiking to get away from them. Strategy is to be invisible. If I don’t make eye contact, they can’t see me.
Black and brown bear this time of year. If it’s black attack back, if it’s brown lay down, and make my underwear brown.
Cougar. Not the sexy kind either.

A human. I’ll run. I can run pretty decently. 🙂
Predator alien. Glock 20 10mm
Brown bear,

Polar Bear.
No survival strat if you encounter a polar bear and you’re not armed for polar bear your ass is going to die.
polar bear, for one that means it’s cold where i’m at and i dont mess with no dahmer spec baloo
A man.
Pretend I’m into it. Moan daddy in a really high pitched voice and an exaggerated German accent.
Bear, tiger or lion (the African/Asian kind). My survival strategy is firearms.
Bear. What an absolute horrible way to go 😬
Probably a Rhino 🦏.
I’m not going to outrun it so I will continually run sideways until it’s really dizzy and then boop it on the nose and then run away.
Well, I wouldn’t want to encounter Bill Cosby. I’d try to explain to him I’m a man pushing 30, but god knows if that would have worked.
Man-bear-pig….. I’d just die.
