That could be a reasonable tactic. Although in this hypothetical I'm a semi bad-ass (as they're behaving unnaturally as well by focusing on me no matter what), and I said I'd need a knife, a bat and armor. This is where the knife part would come in handy, perhaps.

I believe it probably could pick up a person but still, a slightly larger than average person would be almost half the mass of it.

But I've seen an eagle pickup a goat and use that tactic...

But eagles are not quadripeds, unlike this thing, and this thing would try to carry me it's mouth, not in it's talons.

In an action movie it'd pick me up and fly, but I'd manage to stab it before we're too high and I'd fall down into some trees. Depending on the category, I'd either suffer a few broken ribs or I'd land on a tree branch and make :O this face as I hit my balls.
