Is it safe? Never really has been...anywhere...but it's safer here than most places. Worried about wild animals? Stay away from wooded areas...carry a whistle.
A Panther would never attack a manly kind of man, but perhaps they would pounce when they suspect the vulnerability of someone with a Napoleon complex?
