Don't make it mad, whatever you do. Rhinos have been known to charge things that make them feel threatened, similar to that of a bull. If one ends up charging you, try and climb a thick tree, jump into a pool of water, or run in zig-zags since they have a more difficult time turning off.
Gorilla
Location: Central and Western Africa
Size: 5-6 feet tall, 300-600 lbs
Speed: 25 mph
Food Source: Fruits , leaves , herbs and roots
Gorillas are bigger, faster and stronger than humans, so trying to escape from an angry gorilla can be quite difficult. Your best chance for defending yourself against a gorilla is to jump in a pool of water or to fire a gun, which hopefully will be loud enough to scare it away.
Cheetah
Location: Africa and Southwest Asia
Size： 90-140 lbs
Speed: 65 mph
Food Source: Wildebeest and zebras
Since most cheetahs fear humans, you should be able to frighten them off with a loud noise, or by throwing objects at them. However, that doesn't mean they wouldn't ever attack a human. They aren't too big of a cat and if one of them actually decides to bite you, fight back and aim for his nose and eyes. Egyptian Cobra
Location: Northern Africa and Egypt
Size: 5-8 feet long
Speed: 8-10 mph
Food Source: Frogs, birds and other snakes
This is the snake thought to have killed the famous Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt. Be careful where you walk and carry a long stick in case you run into one of these deadly snakes. Their venom （毒液）is strong enough to cause an adult to die within just 15 minutes.
