Does anyone have a fear of wild animals?

Hi. I recently discovered that I fear wild animals. Is there anyone else like me?

1. It is good to have a healthy respect for them, but no need to fear them. Wild animals can be dangerous, but they do not target humans, except in a few cases (such as man-eating tigers who are probably too old to hunt for other animals). Don't treat animals like they are house pets. Keep your distance, and most of the time you will be fine. Accidents can happen, and there are indeed people who have gotten hurt or even killed, but the wilderness is far safer than our streets and highways. The average wild animal is far safer than the domestic dog, which is responsible for millions of bites every year, hundreds of thousands of cases of which require medical attention, and dozens of fatalities.
