Animals fearing things they don't need to

[LeopJag]

Just came across this - silverback being scared of a friggin' little goose - title somewhat exaggerated:
www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&stormfile=VIDEO__Gorilla_runs_in_terror_from_Canada_goose_14_04_2013?ref=ccbox_weather_category2

not to mention black bears being treed by house cats.

i saw once on TV a captive leopard afraid of a flapping fish out of water...it appeared though that the big cat had never encountered anything like it before.

I saw a documentry were a nile monitor displaced an entire lion pride from a cape buffalo kill and then climbed on top of it and started eating at its leisure, It made me laugh my ass off.

My dog was scared shitless of a tire rim, It wasnt even moving.

there's a video of an adult elephant running away from a lone lioness.

pretty odd.

When the word cowardice comes to mind, wild animals are the 1st things that come to mind.

My 150 lb great dane is literally afraid of his own shadow.

bears run from cougars, dogs, puppies, house cats, wolverines, and badgers.
