because the ways are so good were like I'll forget this fish smell we'll go out there and sir in 1997 while paddling on a body board trying to catch a wave off Hawaii a tiger shark snuck up on 18-year old coots from below and grabbed his legs shaking him viciously my leg was severed completely off like a surgeon could not have been a better job out of instinct coots sucked the shark in the face twice and it let him go as he paddled back to shore he realized he'd lost his leg in the incident ironically the upbeats surfer is now part of an effort to protect sharks from being hunted according to marine ecologist Boris worm an astonishing 11 thousand sharks are killed each hour mostly for their fins but coots and his organization have succeeded in helping pass state legislation to protect the animals and is hoping to spread more awareness internationally I feel the shark work that alone to help sharks it was worth me losing a limb just for that alone number 9 Roy Juan there's been so many different versions that you hear of what actually happened wrong one half of famed Las Vegas entertainers Siegfried and Roy Roy horn has no bad blood with his attacker either in the middle of a show on horns birthday no less the duo's white tiger Montek or bit into his neck and began dragging him off stage Horne was rushed to the hospital but lost a severe amount of blood and is still partially paralyzed witnesses disagree on exactly what happened but Horne himself has said the tiger was just carrying him off stage when it saw him in dress after he reportedly had stroke like symptoms in fact the entertainer's didn't hold the big cat responsible and roy even said he didn't want anyone to harm Montek or menthe a car passed away just about three months ago my brother your brother number 8 Ben Niobe while farming in his native Kenya Niobe stepped on something squishy and was suddenly brought to the ground into the clutches of a Python it wasn't the snake that was getting a meal though Niobe was the one to take a bite out of his opponents tail while struggling to save himself during the three-hour struggle the Python brought him up into a tree but Niobe used his shirt to try to distract and possibly suffocate the animal help arrived after Niobe managed to make a call on his cell phone the Python was then brought to a sanctuary however it escaped soon after and is probably now roaming Kenya awaiting round two with his farming nemesis number 7 Bethany Hamilton in 2003 13 year old Bethany was taking a morning surf in Hawaii she was lying on her board with her arm hanging in the water when a 14 foot long tiger shark latched on to her biting near the left shoulder while friends were able to bring her to safety Hamilton lost her arm and later had a custom prosthetic made which she rarely uses these days though most people would quit surfing after an incident like this it was just the beginning for Hamilton but Bethany was back on her board for weeks later she started shredding just one month after the attack and went on to compete in many surfing competitions decimating her competition in 2004 and 2005 as for the shark it met its demise the day of the attack when some fishermen caught it and slaughtered it once things came clear number 6 Jean mo back in 1999 this 68 year old was deer hunting in Kodiak when a 750 pound grizzly bear decided to take up a hunt of its own mo and the Beast fought until the man stabbed it in the neck after backing off it's circled mo ready to finish him off and down to here things were looking grisly but as the bear pounced the man right hooked it in the face knocking it unconscious mo then claimed total victory and shot the bear dead Jean mo had to have two skin grafts and 500 stitches but he made a full recovery as for the bear well let's just say it's in stable condition on Mo's wall number five Frank harms most guys would at least like to trade names and digits before getting attacked by a cougar but Frank harms was not so lucky while walking his dog in Morgan City Alabama harms came face-to-face with a mountain lion the man tried to scare it away but the big cat wasn't falling for it and left on him down on the ground and about to be torn to shreds Farms used his pocket knife to stab the Panther or a cougar if you prefer repeatedly the pain eventually registered and the predator ran off while harms was left alive his injuries necessitated multiple rabies shots number four Michael Nash in 2003 while traveling around low Ango National Park in Gabon this Explorer wandered upon an elephant calf unluckily for him it was with its mother who did not take kindly to Nash crashing the party and charged at him trying to Gore him with her tusks Nash parried her and jumped on to them holding on for dear life as the elephant continued charging if he'd lost his grip his adventures would have ended right there eventually the protective mother lost energy either because she was tired or she felt her baby was safe leaving Nash with a baa story to tell at parties number three Paul Templer don't let those cute hippos from Fantasia fool you these creatures are dangerous towards humans killing an estimated five hundred of us annually Zambezi River Guide Paul Templer knew this but it didn't make his near-death experience with one any easier while working the river one day he noticed his coworker fly out of his kayak while reaching for him Templars suddenly went blind and deaf was he dead Templar managed to feel around with his free hand Andrea he wasn't he'd been swallowed when the hippo surfaced it swung him around like a rag doll before spitting him out in the end Templer suffered excessive blood loss and lost his left arm but he survived number 2 Hugh glass in 1823 this fur trapper stumbled upon a grizzly bear and her two cubs in snowy South Dakota glass was absolutely mauled by this bear but his partners helped him kill it believing glass was dying General Ashley and the team left him for dead two volunteers were supposed to bury him when he died but they left early taking his weapons and gear to rejoin the party however glass eventually came to with a lot more fight left in him he set his broken leg and began the 200-mile journey to the nearest settlement along the way he allowed maggots to eat his dead flesh to prevent gangrene and fought wolves for raw bison but he never did exact fatal revenge on his former colleagues number one Carl Akeley considered a pioneer in the field of taxidermy akley was also a biologist nature photographer and inventor in the 1890s during the adventures he documented in his book in brightest Africa he came across a hungry leopard after he shot at the varmint with a rifle it pounced on him and caught his arm instead of his throat this would be the leopards undoing however because it allowed akley to shove more of his arm down its throat suffocating it from the inside while akley could have replaced the leopard is a jungle predator after this attack he just went back to being a badass scientist continuing to contribute to museums and taxidermy do you agree with our picks check out
