A huge crocodile moves alongside a boat in the clear, shallow water of the Gomodi River in the Okavango Delta. A guy aboard strikes it with the bamboo pole he's holding.

But the giraffe is so weak that it can't find the strength to stand. Number 7. A huge male puma retreats to the edge of a steep mountainside to save himself. Oh, a pack of coonhounds has surrounded him. To escape the fierce hunting dogs, he attacks one of them. Then he moves along the mountainside and disappears deep into the forest. Number 6. As soon as the dog a girl is holding starts barking, the German Shepherd hunting dogs advance together to attack it Their owner pulls hard on the leashes to hold them back But the dogs are so powerful that they ignore the owner efforts knock them to the ground and drag them forward As they get closer the frightened girl barely manages to pull her dog away Number 5 After waiting a while the dogs catch a wild rabbit as soon as it comes out of its burrow.

An elderly man tries to hide behind a nearby utility pole, but the bull spots him, charges, and attacks. The man narrowly escapes serious harm. Number 1. A cat becomes trapped between two trees with no way to get out on its own. A guy comes over to rescue it. He gently wraps the cat in a towel, then carefully pulls it upward and out of the gap.
