Also, if my math is correct here, 28% think they would lose to a mouse/rat

I'm assuming this is unarmed combat.

And I want to meet the freaking morons who couldn't beat a mouse in a fight to the death as well as the ones who think they could beat an elephant in a fist fight

I want to meet that 2% who feels comfortable they could beat up an elephant but not a bear.


I assume they think it's like Dark Souls where the could run around the elephant's feet and smack it's legs until they win. Of course this strategy would not work on a bear as it isn't big enough.

How can you say in order, but only have it be a button poll. am i dumb

i mean yeah, but I went with Kangaroo. Maybe not that Buff Kanga that's passed around like eye candy. But a mama, or a joey, for sure.

and how can people be sure they'd take a monkey, but not a snake? Is this an arena setup? In nature?

Strong stroll for a mangy stray
I feel like I could successfully fight a sloth and anything smaller than that

Also I could beat the gently caress out of a shark provided it had to come to MY house and not the other way around

You're over complicating this by a mile.

Look at each animal listed.
Could you win in a fight?
Next.

Not in order. Not at once. Not in a cage match. Just, as it says. "Can you win in a fight against X"

I NEED THE DETAILS.

But, that's fair.

I'm still going kangaroo, since at least they're not ambush predators. Still confused about the snake/monkey folks.

Even though for millions of years we've proven ourselves the dominate species we still have that pay-per-view attitude of "could we take X species again mano-a-mano?" attitude about us. And I think that's beautiful in a Jerry Springer kind of way.

Or an emu, a bird which won a war against Australia?

You must be trolling
Ostriches could hurt you with a kick and cassowaries have this like 6-in long scimitar talon on their foot and they're going to kick you and that's it you're done you have to get lucky to win.

Goose's rebellion

I assume we're not allowed to use weapons? On that list, I could probably take a large dog. They really only have their mouth as a real danger to you. Their claws aren't razor sharp like a cat's.

I base this on 8 years of play wrestling my 95 lbs lab/shep mix. I assume a wolf could just throw me off its back much easier.

This ^^^

Some conservationists in the UK protested the cull as "extermination of the rare emu". Heh.

Now, "According to the IUCN their conservation status is of 'least concern'. In Australia there are between 625,000 to 725,000 wild emus. Globally they have been farmed for their meat, leather and oil."

E: I went for Snake. Depends on the snake. Not sure about a Brown Snake. Can you pick up a stick or are you in a glass box with the animal?
