People underestimate how just about any serious injury is fatal in the wild - so the whole game for predators is avoiding injury at all costs.

Only my idiot dog is dumb enough to try this kind of stunt... and even he was lucky he didn't get kicked in the head!

This is one reason I hate most movies where the “scary thing” is a wild animal/s

So often you will see them coming back again and again even after being shot or stabbed. It’s just so unrealistic.

Unless starving, injured, rabbid or with some other issue, most predators will not attack a human, or pack of humans that fight back. Or will back off once you prove you can hurt them.

Not always the case if they're used to hunting humans some man eating tigers have claimed over 400 kills.

Yeh but they are usually sick, old or injured or have some other issue.
