Sometimes animals are guided by sheer killer instinct, turning predators into prey and replacing humans at the top of the food chain. This series presents terrifying stories of people who have been attacked by animals and how mere seconds of quick thinking made the difference between life and death. From great white sharks to grizzly bears and from coyotes to crocodiles, viewers hear the tales of humans who have survived face-to-face encounters with angry animals.
