Final Photos Taken Seconds Before Tragedy Struck
Everyone loves animals,but most are aware that if you don't treat them with the caution and respect they deserve, they can be very dangerous indeed. However, some are not so clued up on this fact or either choose to ignore it at their peril. Here we have several photographs taken just before disaster struck to illustrate just how cautious you should be at times.
Suddenly A Leopard
Being an endangered animal doesn't mean they're not a dangerous animal as this escaped leopard shows. Hunting down the escaped animal, one man turns his back as the stalking pounces from a hiding place to show him exactly why it is considered an apex predator. Having escaped the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, in West Bengal operations were put in place to recapture the animal.
Not All Disasters Are Dangerous
Sometimes a disaster doesn't have to mean putting yourself in the way of harm; sometimes it can just be a little less painful and a little more, disgusting. If you are going to sunbathe try and remember not to do it around dogs, although most recognize the difference between humans and a fire hydrant. Perhaps this fella' just wasn't a fan.
Running Wild
Although predominantly foragers living off of plant life and what is on the forest floor, wild boar can be extremely aggressive and their fearsome tusks and size make them incredibly dangerous if you get too close to them. However, as they do not hunt for food, if you can outrun them they will rarely pursue you.
Paddle Faster
Short sighted and often rarely challenged for size and strength, sharks will often approach shapes in the water above them that they cannot identify and many shark attacks come about by the shark merely being curious as to what is floating in the water above them. Unfortunately for this guy, he seems to be on the wrong end of this shark's inquisitive nature.

During its escape, it had terrorized the village of Limbu and was tracked down but ineffectively tranquilized. Here the animal is attacking a forest warden, who survived but the animal did not as it was shot by the man nearby. Sometimes it is not the animals that are the most dangerous but humanity.
Instant Karma
Bears typically become aggressive when they feel they or their family are threatened so when these hunters took a black bear as a trophy; they failed to notice its family member behind them as they posed for a photograph with their prize kill. You may not be able to see too clearly, but over the man on the left's shoulder, a bear lurks in the shadows waiting for vengeance.

Often shy, it is also likely that this bear ran off if it thought it might meet the same fate but the fact it was so close to these men makes it a danger due to its sheer size and strength.
Hunter Becomes The Hunted
In another example of why posing with your kill can be a bad idea, this hunter has killed a large stag only for the blood to bring cougar to come by. A wily animal, a mountain lion, is more than capable of getting its own kills, but it is unlikely it could bring down something this large on its own and will attack others if it thinks it can get an easier meal than making its own.

What makes this so dangerous is that the animal may well have the scent of blood and be filled with blood lust and hunger, having said that, if it would rather eat someone else's kill than kill for its own food, it may prefer just to scare them off rather than attack them full out.
A Costly Slip
While visiting a zoo in New Delhi, India, one man wanted to see the rare white tiger close up and was climbing on the enclosure to get a better view. He was repeatedly warned to get down as both the fall and the animal could be potentially disastrous. Undeterred, the man held his position until losing balance and falling into the tiger cage.

Instantly the white tiger prowled up to the man and kept him cornered for almost 15 minutes as other visitors and zookeepers tried to distract the animal. Unfortunately, it eventually decided to pounce and dragged the man, by the neck, back to its den before killing him.
Not Your Average Pet
As far as pets go, goats are a fairly unconventional choice as they are more closely associated with farming and agriculture but this person decided a small, bouncing goat could be a sweet thing to have in the house, I mean, it's so tiny, what harm could it do? Well, as this image proves, there is a probably a reason why most people stick with cats and dogs.

That's not to say goats can't be kept as pets, but they are probably better off left outside in an enclosure rather than being allowed in the house as they can do a bit of a damage to both you and your property. Goats often show aggressive behavior to assert dominance, and the best thing is to not back away but to slap them on the side of the neck to show them who is the boss.
Heavy Hitter
The J-Bay Open in South Africa is a highly lauded event in the pro-surf calendar, and in 2015 it was broadcast live across the world. Surfer Mick Fanning felt something playing with his board's leash and noticed a massive shark trailing behind him. Jumping out of the way, the shark went for his board before turning its attention towards him, but Fanning got in their first landing blows on the Shark so that it turned tail and swam away. With a damaged board and a little shaken up, Fanning was otherwise unharmed when rescuers pulled him from the water.

Maybe it is the red top that he confused for a hydrant but either way, we wouldn't want to be in her position at this moment in time.

This hunter seems to have not seen his quarry so near to him as he dashes away unable to get a shot off with the tables having been turned.

However, if the shark had decided the boat was not edible, it wouldn't bother going in for a nibble so let's keep our fingers crossed that it thought plastic might be a bit too chewy for it.

Pray for the chicago streets..
Even gang members
imagine a future that doesn't include gangs.
They wanna Murder Me...
Mama, My Stomach Hurt...
A 6-year-old girl was expected to make a full recovery after
she was shot while playing on her grandmother's porch in Englewood.
"Smile" is an independently-funded documentary that chronicles the story of a Chicago family who has endured violence and turmoil in the midst of an inner-city community where murder has risen to epidemic levels. It is a film that examines the stark realities of mental illness and the disease of apathy that allows for senseless violence to numb the psych of those who are forced to endure it.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.
Amen.
If you don't change your beliefs,
your life will be like this forever.
Is that good news?
W. Somerset Maugham
