Indeed.
My father (with his surveyor colleagues) was stalked in the grasslands of Zambia; it was far from uncommon. Most of the time when it happened, people realised there was something shadowing them but it was unable to be seen. Retreats were riven with anxiety; nobody carried a gun (they were simply civil works employees). He also had a mamba try to bite him on the face while driving; for reasons only known to G_d he hadn’t rolled the window down on that occasion. Apparently the venom could be seen running in trickles down the glass. |

I worry more about the camels we get in WA. When angered after a collision with a vehicle they will attack and can bite your head off.

This sort of event https://punchng.com/motorcyclist-die...ng-with-camel/
I recall an enrgaed bull camel reportedly attacked and killed someone on the Nullarbor Plain in the early 70's or late 1960's after a car ran into a herd crossing the road. Too late to find on Trove and too early for Internet records but I recall the RAC warning me about it before I did the Perth Sydney and back trip in 1976. The message was if you hit a camel stay in your car or you will likely be attacked.

How dare that Tiger run onto the road.
I didn't see any Tiger crossing signs.  Check out this story about a woman complaining of deer crossing signs on busy roads, I think she is right. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donna...aint_n_1987405 |

Good point, in the original scenario there should have been yellow and black flashing lights, “Tiger Crossing” signs and a reduced speed limit zone complete with safety cameras.
