I think it would depend on which continent you were on. In N. America, it would probably be the bear family. Then again, it depends on which part of N. America you are in. Farther up north and then out west, I'd probably say the dog, bear, and cat family. Out west you have the mtn. lion, grizzlies, and gray wolves. Where I live the biggest thing you have is the black bear. Next to that it's coyotes, foxes, and the bobcat. If I were in S. America, I'd be more afraid of the extremely large snakes. In Africa, it would definitely be your large cats. In Australia...the kangaroo. Have you seen how powerful they are? They have some fierce leg muscles. I'd love to have some thighs and calves that were that strong.
Then again, with my interest in wildlife I would do my best not to get stranded in the wilderness. I'd try to be safe and not be alone. That way, I can be excited about seeing the wildlife in its natural habitat.

good analogy, there is more than one type of excited, though
But not enough to outrun or out manouver a snake! Ones here in Africa move like greased lightning. I live in a farm environment and accosted two on my property & seen them move! I also swim frequently in our seas & once noticed some triangular fins about 15 meters away from me - you should have seen me move!!!

maybe we're not as high on he food chain as we thought
Without antibiotics, they're far more dangerous to any slight injury than anything mentioned so far. You may survive the injuries of a wild animal but you will not survive the infection afterward if you don't get to civilization quick enough.
