Yep. I think the advice about hostage situations is the most useful.

I wanna get the time travel edition. I'd take the "How To Fend Off A Sabre Tooth Tiger" section with a bit of salt. They completely left out the info about wearing a mask on the back of your head like they do for tigers in India.

[The Editor]

Maybe because a sabre tooth won't care if you're looking at it? If it's close enough it'll rip you to pieces anyway.

A cat's a cat. If it works for present tigers it oughtta work on the prehistoric variety as well. The only reason it stops working is when the smarter tigers catch on. Regardless, it ain't a failsafe, it's just a clever precaution. And hella more practical then wrestling the biggest fucking cat in history like the book suggests. I ain't Tarzan. (Yet.)

Who says that behaviour didn't evolve later?

[Nidogod]

It very well might have though it seems incredibly unlikely. I'll grant you that every cat has an exception to the "cat rules" in some form (Lions are social, jaguars go for the skull...) but I don't see why we're arguing a simple precaution which has been proven to work on some sPecies and seems a hell of alot more useful than advice telling one to wrestling a monster cat with steak knives on it's face.

You never really think about it, but when you do you released just how fucked up it is.

The best advice is to always carry a loaded shotgun when dealing with dangerous animals.

[Nidogod]

Can't argue there.
