IF the translation(s) be accurate, then she is a twerp. She should not be “running” what is presumably a wildlife sanctuary. She taunts them to get a rush of adreniline!!!????? Creep!

I thought I would give a brief critique of all the stupidity in her imputed words, but it would be too long. Does she understand adaptive behavior, fight/flight, and of the rules for survival in the wild? For instance, that a much smaller wolverine can drive off a bear from its prey. The bear does not find it worthwhile to risk injury. ANY injury may interfere with survival prospects. In other words, the bear is not incredibly stupid like some people can be. Only when life and death (and, by implication, continuance of the genes) hinge on battle will a survival-oriented NONHUMAN being engage.

Species survival? Look at the leopard, who has a tendency to become invisible amongst threats. The leopard is highly successful, I believe estimates are 100,000 or 200,000 leopards in Africa.

Granted that the Leopard’s arboreal abilities help immensely (even though some have become urbanized!), I believe that Cat’s ability to steer clear of impossible odds is superbly helpful as well.

Bottom line: It is not a matter of idiotic human “virtues” such as bravery or cowardice. It is raw and natural life and death.
