1. Usually, wild animals are most dangerous when they are protecting their cubs, mating, or when they have nowhere to go.
2. Getting lost in the African savannah, the first thing to do is to find an obvious landmark or a fixed target point, and then move towards this goal. If you see a mountain, it has glaciers on the mountain, where the melted snow will turn into a stream or a river, and the river means that there will be farms, villages and people, you can aim for the mountain.
3. In Africa, wounds can quickly become infected and make you more vulnerable to predators, so you need to find something to bandage the wound, salt and aloe vera can be used to disinfect to prevent infection.
4. Large herbivores such as elephants, bison or rhinos can kill you when disturbed. Elephants are very intelligent animals, but they are also very cautious when protecting their young. The leading female elephant of the herd Always walk in front of the elephants, always ready to attack, if you see it shaking its head, it means he is angry. If elephants slap their ears on their bodies and roll up their proboscis, they are ready to attack. When this happens, don't just run in one direction, but turn sharply to the left or right, as the elephant Your eyesight is poor, and it may rush forward right next to you.
5. If you are not familiar with the surrounding environment, you can climb to the nearby high ground first, so that you can see all the surrounding areas clearly, find out the orientation, any significant landmarks or rivers and streams, so that you can find water.
6. The most important thing about rock climbing is to keep your balance and keep your body weight on the rock surface at all times. Then use your leg strength to get yourself up. If you can get to a small crack or gap, you can put your fist in it so that there is a fulcrum.
7. The giant viper is the deadliest of the African venomous snakes. You can hear him blowing his belly. This is when the attack speed is the fastest. The key is that when you meet them, they will never give way. They like to hide in the grass and bask in the sun, and they are very similar to dirt and dead leaves. It is difficult to find them. It is very possible to accidentally stumble upon it, and then inadvertently lead to a fatal accident.
8. When you find a cave, before entering, you should shout twice, clap your hands, or throw something in to make some noise to see if there are animals in it. Rhinos and bison are very territorial and will kill intruders, so it is necessary to block the opening of the hole, and even the most basic fence is enough to keep the wild animals out. You can use the dead branches of Robinia locust for the hole, but there are sharp barbs like needles. Keep wild animals out. In case a wild animal crosses the fence, a second line of defense has to be prepared, the knife is tied to a stick to make a primitive spear, thus becoming a weapon and extending its attack range.
9. If you are trapped in the African grassland and can't find water at all, there is another way, and that is to drink the liquid from fresh elephant dung, which is very disgusting and may contain harmful bacteria, so it is a last resort. This way, you can buy some time when you really can't find a water source. Even Bell said it was the worst thing he had ever drunk, I'm afraid it was really too bad.

8. If you are short of water on the African grassland, you can rest during the day and drive at night, which can support twice the time. But night is also the time when carnivores are most active.
9. There is no sun to guide the direction at night, but the same is true for the moon. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the moon follows the same trajectory across the sky, so if you see the moon moving slowly across the sky, it's heading west. 10. At night you never know what's out there, so you have to engage all your senses. It takes about 45 minutes to get used to night vision, but once you get used to it, especially on a full moon night like this, it's like walking during the day. As you get used to your night vision, take care to protect it, and in case you have to turn on the flashlight to see a map or something, it's best to close one eye. Also, if you want to look closely at something, use the corner of your eye, your peripheral vision is much more sensitive than your focused vision looking straight ahead. It's a good way early humans figured out to protect themselves from predators in places like this.
11. Elephants walk super lightly, so pay attention. Their eyesight is not very good at night, but their sense of smell is very sensitive. If they smell your scent, they are easily attacked at night, so try to avoid them.
12. Walking around the savannah at night can be dangerous. Whatever you do, do it in your head and make sure it is absolutely necessary.
13. It’s dawn now, and seeing the sun is such a joy, it’s like infusing you with new energy. The dawn has come and it is so good to see the sun. It just gives you like new energy.
14. The three biggest risk factors in the savannah: beast attack, dehydration and heat stroke.
15. The quickest way to go up and down a pebbled surface is to glide on it. You stick your heels in, balance with your hands, and zigzag all the way down.
16. Hippo is one of the most vicious killers in Africa. The male hippo has a strong sense of territory, and the female hippo has a strong awareness of protecting the little hippo. The worst situation for humans is to be caught between the hippo and the water. Like crazy, it will rush over and throw you in the air, trample you, and bite you to death.
17. When crossing the river, look for places where the water flow is fast and the water is very shallow. There are hardly any hippos in these places. Hippos prefer deep, calm waters that can accommodate their large bodies.
18. The best way to go upstream is to go down to the river, because the terrain in the forest is steep and there will be leopards, which is more dangerous.
19. The slope is getting steeper, which means there will be rapid waterfalls.
20. When the water temperature is relatively cold, try to keep the upper body dry, because if it is in such cold water, the water will not last long until it reaches the neck.
