Yes, there is a risk of a coyote attack while hiking in the wilderness, but attacks are rare and can usually be prevented by making noise, keeping pets on a leash, and not feeding wildlife.
To prevent a boar attack while hiking in the wilderness, it is important to make noise while hiking to avoid surprising the boar, keep a safe distance if you encounter one, avoid feeding or approaching them, and be aware of your surroundings at all times. It is also recommended to carry bear spray or a whistle for self-defense in case of an attack.
If you encounter a screaming mountain lion while hiking in the wilderness, remain calm and try to make yourself appear larger by raising your arms and making noise. Back away slowly without turning your back on the mountain lion. Do not run or crouch down. If the mountain lion approaches you, throw objects at it and shout loudly. If attacked, fight back aggressively.
If you hear a mountain lion warning sound while hiking in the wilderness, you should stay calm, make yourself appear larger by raising your arms or opening your jacket, and slowly back away while facing the lion. Do not run or turn your back on the animal. If the mountain lion approaches, make loud noises, throw objects, and try to intimidate it. If attacked, fight back aggressively. It is important to report the encounter to local authorities afterwards.

There aren't. More or less anyone fit enough can walk to Everest Base Camp, but the mountain itself is the realm of the skilled, experienced and fully-equipped mountaineer.
Because if you have an injury when hiking (in the wilderness) you will need First Aid stuff to treat it and unless you have brought it with you, it will not be there.
