They should know what dangers exist there, how to avoid them and what to do if you encounter them. I would rather trust them than some random people on the internet.Good idea.

So, if you look away you are basically submitting. I guess it depends on the type of cat whether they decide this means you are easy prey or just not a threat but basically it's not in your best interests to look away. I'm not a biologist or anything but I am fairly certain this is true because all of my cats walk away or look down after losing a stare-off.

The trip went well. Oh yeah, I did get eaten by a bear, but it was one fat mother, so the belly was actually quite comfortable. Stomach acid? Neutralized it with some NaOH. Because that's what I do. I carry NaOH with me all the time.

The bottom line is that by staring at it you're trying to assert your dominance to a venomous snake in his territory.This is also known as natural selection.

Good to hear, but the joke was a bit basic.
