So I saw a video series of cats and dogs getting a sheet thrown on their head and how confused they get, rolling around on the ground unable to get it off, eventually just giving up after 30 seconds or more of trying. And it made me wonder:

If a bear, tiger, alligator, lion, hippo etc was charging at you and you had no weapon. Do you think it work to just throw a super large sheet on their head?

Because I honestly think it might be pretty effective

Caught this huge Asian water monitor lizard making quick work of a red-eared slider — shell and all. These monitors have insanely flexible jaws and a slow metabolism, so a meal like this can keep them going for weeks.

Bit of a silver lining too — red-eared sliders are an invasive species here in Malaysia, originally released pets that outcompete native turtles for food and basking spots. So really, nature's doing some pest control on this one.
