    Lets say some old fellow decides to resurrect the dinosaurs for a theme park, but they all escape, and I am confronted by one of the primordial beasties. Does anyone know a good way to fend off one of these?

    Seriously though, what is up with the animal defense? I can understand dogs as a logical question, but bulls? RHINOS? If youre going to confront one of those, do so from far away with a powerful gun. Chances are, if theres a rhinocerous or something along those lines running around in the streets, youd hear about it. In which case, if you had any sense in you, you'd avoid it. Vicious stray dogs are a possible inescapable encounter, but chances are if youre fighting something huge you'd only see in a zoo, you went out looking for trouble, and got yourself a whole truckload of it. Best defense against large animals youll never encounter? Simple, don't go looking around for big animals to try and beat up.

    Yeah - but what about REALLY small animals? How about a swarm of killer bees?

    Hey you could use a tennis racket against the bees :D

    And you could use a really large one against the rhino, and bat it into space

    Smoke bomb will take care of the bees. Seriously. Beekeepers use smoke to subdue their bees.

    For the large animals, your best defense (other than not being there in the first place) is to be very familiar with the animal and its behavior. Does the animal have good eyesight? If not, will it even know you're there if you're downwind from it, and it can't get your scent? Do you know which way the wind is blowing? And so on.

    how about crocodiles? In australia where a lot of our MAPpers live, that could be a serious issue. :)
    I've heard from various sources that the best policy is to shoot the thing, and that if you have the bad luck to be pounced on by a crocodile, and at the same time the good fortune not to be instantly killed (real life example: a particular case where a saltwater crocodile accidentally let go of the guy when it was rolling), try to hold the jaws closed: the muscles that open the jaw are nothing like as strong as the ones that open it
    :)
    all delivered deadpan :)

    If you're brave enough to take on spelling rhinoceros, then you have the balls to fight one :D

    For the real lowdown, go ask at Shaolin. They deal with dinosaurs all the time, especially back in the day, hundreds of thousands of years ago at their peak.

    Rhinos only see black and white so wear bright colours and you'll be safe.

    Rgds,

    Best defence? Hmm send the world's media at them... that'll keep the dinosaurs fed for quite some time :p but the diet of propaganda, tabloid filth and political disputes may give them an upset stomach..

    booksie_girl you have hit on a massive money spinner I reckon.

    Just sell everyone from down under their very own inflatable, remote control Steve Irwin for those tricky croc, snake and spider encounters.
