Although outrunning a crocodile on dry land is perfectly feasible, I think that if you're within striking distance of the shore-line it makes no difference how fast you are. At the edge of a murky billabong, nothing will clue you in that it's about to happen, you'll be literaly in the water with a massive set of jaws on you before realising anything has happened. There's stories of people being taken by crocs, and even a person standing with a couple metres of the victim realises what happened. There's just a big splash and Bruce is gone.

That said, I'm going to vote for c) A bear in the woods.

I think a bear would be less likely to consider a human to be food, and it strikes me that it might have less incentive to finish you off.
