    A great uncle of mine used to steal baby gators from nests and sell them by the roadside. He got chased by a mom once when there was nothing nearby to climb but a fence post, and stayed treed up there for what he claimed was hours while she snapped below him. Now, was he lying? Very possibly. But still, the gator is the only animal on that list that could even potentially be escaped by a 10 year old by climbing a fence post, so that's my choice.

    I've read that people in the mangrove forests of India started wearing masks on the backs of their heads and it has cut down on tiger ambushes, so I guess tiger is my second choice if I can have a mask.
