5 unbelievable animal attack survival stories (-- removed HTML --)
Each year we hear stories about people being attacked by wild animals. These stories are usually over the top, and sometimes they end tragically. The following stories, however, are ones where the people unbelievably survived being attacked. Sometimes miracles do happen.
1. Great white shark attack
An Australian diver by the name of Eric Nerhus was diving near the town of Eden, New South Wales when he was swallowed head first by a great white shark.

The larger you look the more likely that the mountain lion will leave you alone.

While sleeping in his tent one night, Kootoo was attacked by a hungry polar bear. He had no chance of rescuing himself. The only reason that he survived was that another hunter in the group was able to shoot the bear. Kootoo no longer works as a guide because his injuries from the attack prevent him from doing so. He suffered from numerous deep gashes and he also needed almost 300 stitches to reattach his scalp. He’s incredibly lucky to be alive. Not many people who have been attacked by polar bears can say the same. (-- removed HTML
