I know what you mean. I once got out in the middle of a buffalo herd on an
Indian reservation. As I was standing there with the fellow who tends them,
he told me that if they start acting aggressive to run for the fence. 

Which was about a 1/2 mile away! :-0

He was joking. He said they wouldn't be any problem, as long as I don't
make any untoward moves. What the heck does a buffalo think is untoward?
