It's not true of all animals. I saw 9 deer today and not a single one tried to attack me.
Avoid zoophobia! Not all animals want to eat you.

Nothing surprising here:
a) they were running/moving, which triggers the predator reflex to pursue;
b) they startled the animals;
c) they were unarmed.

Why do humans attack animals in the wild?
To: All
Have these researchers tried to reason with a hungry grizzly on “Why are you doing this to me”? A casual conversation over a game of chess, bring it up and see what ensues.

Part of it is hunger. Young lions especially get driven away from the food source by the mature lions, so people and their pets become an option.
Part of it is threat response. People surprise them or get into their space, and they leap. Millions have seen the video of the mother lion who hissed at the hiker in Utah because he was near her kittens.
Part of it is reflex. Predators are created to leap at things that move, so joggers and bikers get jumped.
And part of it is really dumb people pressing the red Darwin button.
If you walk outside of your house, be aware of the possibilities.

This has got to be one of the stupider questions I’ve seen discussed in the press in a long time.

Because it’s far more complicated to attack them in houses. Most animals haven’t mastered the Doorknob Principle yet.

How many billions were given for this study? And it all went to city folk who don’t even know how to feed a house cat.

Overpopulation and under-hunting to keep them in fear of humans are the actual reasons.
Since WA/OR/CA did away with dog assisted hunting of big cats, the population has exploded, driving the younger cats closer to human habitation. They have no fear of humans anymore.
Groups of humans accompanied by baying hounds tended to instill fear and avoidance of all humans in them.

...when two cougars ran out in front of them.
...when she saw three grizzly bears.
Cougars are solitary animals, a Mother and her cubs are not?
Grizzly bears are solitary animals, a Mother and her cubs are not?
There's your answer.
