If any land predator (bear, lion, tiger, etc) saw a huge crowd of 100 people or more, will it still attack?

Assuming that there is a wild animal on the loose and the animal encounters 100+ people together (no one separates from each other), will it still attack? Or would it run in fear?

Since they tend to hunt easy preys, how would wild land animals behave among a huge crowd?

[aceleon]

they won't actively seek to attack you but can still attack if they are threatened or angered or hungry enough, this animals attacks herds of bisons or such animals that weights almost 10 times a human.

[Asker]

yet they tend to be clever in their attack. They tend to locate the bison that's further from the group and many times 2-3 lions hunt it.
If the herd if coming directly towards them with their horns and they don't find any isolated prey, then they will flee.

[aceleon]

no animal is stupid enough to directly attack an animal that is significiantly larger than them and more crowded than them
but a male lion alone can take down the prey 2-3 lioness can't or won't even try it, power is everything and i am not just referring to physical power.

Probably not, unless threatened. I don’t think we’re viewed as their best food source. If it got loose at the zoo or something like a wildlife preserve, it would probably find its easiest source of what it would normally eat.

Lions will attack a herd of wildebeest and these can number into the thousands, polar bears attack walrus colonies.

Unless it's learnt to fear humans they'd use the same hunting techniques to snatch a victim

Depends

If 100 of them stand together and hold their ground the predator would flee most probably

[Asker]

Even more so if the 100+ people also had weapons.

[The_Sexpert]

Yep, infact our ancestors used to hunt them down in groups of just 3-4

Most animal attacks are from people fucking with wildlife. MOST don’t attack humans unprovoked and are more scared of humans then we are of them. There is some exceptions to that rule.

But as long as you don’t poke the bear….. most animals won’t attack you.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I don't think it might attack if they don't know what it is. We're not their regular source of food. And 100 people together, means the predator probably isn't on his home turf either, I doubt that it would attack.

[Astarlessnightsky]

No, most animals avoid even a single human. Even a small group would scare away any animal.

[Agape93]

Not likely unless you corner it or something is wrong with it

[Iron_Man]

No way they will have fear

[Asker]

What if the 100+ people have weapons too, such as knives, sticks, stones and even guns?

[Iron_Man]

Tigers, don’t understand about that unless you fire off a shot anyway, I don’t think they will attack the humans 100 people standing together

[LiamJHayden]

Probably flee.
