If you think nature is intense in the U.S., just wait until you see what it’s like in Australia. On land, in the ocean, or soaring through the skies—danger is everywhere. Sharks, snakes, spiders—you name it. Almost everything seems out to get you.

The rainforest isn’t much better. Head into one, and you’ll encounter all kinds of wildlife to watch out for: venomous fish, creepy insects, spiders, snakes, and even big jungle cats. And if you ever find yourself in Kyrgyzstan—yes, Kyrgyzstan—don’t just look down. Look up.

Because what’s flying overhead might just be the most dangerous of all.

We’re talking about golden eagles. These aren’t your typical backyard birds. Think of them more like flying dinosaurs. Massive. Powerful. Deadly. Recently, AKI Press reported that a golden eagle attacked an 8-year-old girl near Lake Issyk-Kul in southern Kyrgyzstan.

The child had wandered into a restricted area set up for showcasing these powerful birds of prey. Thankfully, local experts said the bird wasn’t hunting and likely wouldn’t have survived in the wild on its own. The girl escaped with only minor injuries and a few stitches.

It’s one thing to keep your small dog or cat safe from predators. It’s another thing entirely to worry about your own neck.
