    not because snakes hunt people

    Pythons do attack children, although a grown woman is probably safe. Many small venomous snakes are attracted to the warmth of sleeping humans, and don’t take too kindly to the human rolling over / swatting at them in their sleep.

    A hungry bear is able to sniff, track and actively hunt you.

    The vast majority of bear attacks occur when the human either accidentally ambushes the bear, or goes near a bear cub. Afaik only male polar bears hunt humans, and they do it extremely rarely, only as a last resort.
