That's good advice Chaz. I'd add that one that is a slow runner and sound sleeper is a good first choice.

Seriously, I was camping alone on the Buffalo River in Arkansas and was woke early one morning by a monstrous and horrifying inhuman screaming that would have scared even a sound effects guy for horror films.

I peaked out of my tent and it was just barely dawn with a creepy low fog rolling around the banks of the river. I could tell the noise was coming from just around a bend upstream. I decided to go find out what is was when it let loose another terrifying howl so then I decided to stay where I was and not get eaten.
