Some people think that all wild animals are dangerous.In fact,very few of them will hurt a man if he leaves them alone.If you meet a tiger or an elephant,you would run away.But even a tiger will keep away from a man if it is not very hungry.Lions and tigers only kill and eat men when they are too old to catch their usual food.Wild animals only hurt people when they are afraid their babies may be in danger,or when people hunt them or make them angry.
