   Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous. In fact, very few of them will eat a man if he leaves them alone. If you meet a lion, I am sure you will run away, but even a lion will avoid (躲避) a man if it's not very hungry,  Lions only kill and eat men when they have grown too old to catch their food, such as sheep and other small animals. Some animals get frightened when they only smell a man. Some of them stand, look at a man for a little while before they run away.

Others take no notice at all but quietly walk in another direction, Wild animals only eat a man when they are afraid that he tries to kill young ones, or when they are shot at (击中）and made angry.
