It may be a possibility that wild animal go away without harming you if you do not make him irritate.

Avoid close encounters:
One should by rule avoid going close to wild animals howsoever calm he might be looking on face. This is for simple reason that they are wild and not tamed or pets. If you go close chances are more that in case of any attack you won’t get any reaction time.
