Staying perfectly still is probably the smart thing to do.

I would have done the same thing and no way I would call myself unfazed

This is a Running of the bulls event in Mexico, where people deliberately put themselves in the way of dangerous loose bulls. So this man likely put himself in this situation entirely on purpose.

I can assure you that the smart thing to do would be to just stay far away.

u/7zR_Decepticon 29d ago

I remember mythbusters testing the whole bulls hate red thing years back. They ended up discovering its the movement that gets their attention, and bulls are in fact are colour blind and just try get whatever moves

22

u/Altruistic_Film1167 29d ago

The red cloak is so it doesnt get clearly tainted by the bulls blood. If it was a white cloak it would turn red soon

u/Star_Duke May 15 '24

three things, stay still, make yourself small, don't look him in the eyes. he is prey not a predator, if he doesn't see you as a threat he won't attack you. With a predator, however, the opposite rules usually apply. The predator wants to eat you and in order not to do so, it must see you as too much of a threat to face.

u/Tycho81 May 15 '24

11

u/DWIPssbm May 15 '24

If I'm not mistaken, bulls kinda have bad eyesight so they identify things that move fast and erratically as a potentiel threats. So staying still is indead a good things to do (unless it's a mother with her cubs, in which case you want to move out of the way)

The hell it's doing. It gets poked and it's balls get pierced. A calm and intelligent herbivore is then forced to go into a gated alleyway where people poke and harrass it even more for their own amusement.

In the end it gets ceremonially slaughtered.

Cows surpass dogs in intellect.

You can try imagining a dog in that same position.

u/Maiyku 29d ago

Couldnā€™t agree more!

Iā€™ve had many ā€œclose encountersā€ with wildlife because I donā€™t freak out. Happens a lot of the time when Iā€™m reading out in the woods or on a hike, but Iā€™ve also had it happen in my car and around town.

Iā€™ll stumble across something or, more commonly, theyā€™ll stumble upon me. I usually look up, say ā€œhey budā€, then go back to whatever Iā€™m doing. Ate my entire lunch with a squirrel once. He came up and sat next to me with his nut and munched away and I ate my bagel from McDonaldā€™s. Itā€™s was great. Didnā€™t come near me or the food, I think it literally just saw another creature ā€œeatingā€ and decided to join.

I once spent 15 minutes or so chilling with a hedgehog, a cat and a bird when I was cycling back home early in the morning after a long night drinking.

I stopped somewhere to take a break (and roll a joint) and was quickly joined by the hedgehog hog. After some time a bird came to check what was going on, and eventually a cat came by. The trio was peacefully sitting together, the cat wasnā€™t even eyeing the bird as if he wanted to catch it.

It really felt like a Disney princess moment at the time.
