What animals could you beat in a fight?

[DenverCountryBoy]

Saw this study and thought it was funny/interesting. In one on one, unarmed, hand to hoof combat, what animals could you best?

Which animals could Britons beat in a fight? | YouGov

Things don’t look good for anyone confronted by anything scarier than a medium-sized dog

I think the chimp might be an under rated opponent. The king cobra would likely be a draw, no survivors. The wolf is ranked too high and should have more parity with large dog.

I don’t know about that Goose. I had an encounter a couple years ago and I decided to run like a coward instead of put up a fight lol

Where is the honey badger?

We all know "that guy" that thinks he could take the grizzly.

If they had raccoon on the list I'd put money on the raccoon.

When I was 5 my parents had to pull me off a goose at a park when I was trying to have a conversation with him and he bit me on the nose.

You could address me by name, jeez.

I had enough of this over the years and even on the water. I steer clear, not a fan of them at all.

I know a guy who went in a cage years ago for an exhibition against a rock ape.


He won, if you could call it that, first time the rock ape had been beaten.


But the following night that rock ape took a different approach. He just started throwing chit on all his opponents.

When I was growing up is southern Wis. the circus would come to town every year, one year they had chimp in a cage about 8' x 12'. For an entry small entry fee, you could go and try to pin the chimp. That takes a special kind of stupid, I saw several who fit in that category give it a try. I don't think the chimp ever left it's perch in the corner of the cage but I saw a lot of guys land on their ass. As far as I know no one even got close to getting the chimp off that perch.

Geese's heads are at exactly the wrong height for me. If I can wear a cup, I think I can take a goose.

Not sure if I should admit this, but I was attacked by a feral cat years ago and that SOB about whipped my ass. I was laying on my garage floor working on my Jeep with the doors open and I guess it was that pussy’s time of month. I looked over just in time to see it jump in my head. I ended up with dozens of nasty infected cuts and bites and a few stitches. It took a full load of #4 buckshot and still ran off to die!
That experience made me really think about the power a mountain lion must have.

You ever been bitten by a chipmunk?
I've been bitten by a chipmunk.
I ain't betting on myself beating anything these days!

It appears the Brits are very weak.

Travis the chimp, anyway.

Speaking of Travis, wasn't there a guy a few years back that lost the family Jewels to a chimp. #1 reason why not to trust animals.

I would rather be in a shooting house in a scrap with a griz than an Alabama red wasp. Thats all .I'm gonna say about that.

 

[Mudpuddle]

I just can't believe almost 1 in 10 people believe they can take on an elephant. I wish I had that level of self confidence.

That kind of confidence would get stomped out in a hurry.

We not nearly as tough as our egos let us believe. I was attacked by a flying squirrel and had to run because I couldn't land a decent punch on the bastard. I watched a buddy get assaullted and stabbed (that drew blood) by a humming bird. We ran like school girls in that case as well.
