Bloodfalcon he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 What is the toughest animal you think you could win a fight against? The animal is going to be mad, and it will have no mercy. It is also a criminal animal. It just committed corporate fraud and stole from orphans, so it kind of has it coming. Note: I do not condone harming animals in any way. This is a hypothetical to prove your manliness/womanliness (but be honest!).I'm not a small man, but I find I don't have a lot of confidence in myself when it comes to defending against animals. On land I think I'd do alright against pretty much any animal that is missing sharp teeth or claws with the exception of an elephant or hippo. If we are into teeth/claws territory, probably nothing bigger than a single coyote. Two coyotes? I'm done. Bobcat? Probably done. Anything that is in the ocean/water would just use me as its play-thing. I don't stand a chance. I mean, if I have to give an answer? I'd probably say I could handle a decent sized carp. Or a crab no bigger than my chest.I'm trying to think of it in terms of "if someone offered me $1,000,000 to fight an enraged _____, would I do it?"Anyway, if anyone else is as bored as I am and feels like they have something to prove, feel free to post. If not I'll probably delete this as soon as things start picking up on real topics, hahaha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I frequently have to wrestle goats into their pens, so I think the toughest criminal animal I can handle would be... a goat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think I could handle a goat once I got past that first charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I could take a goat, although like you say the first charge wouldn't be fun. After that would be...... a medium sized penquin? I'm not really sure so I might come back and edit this post. I love this topic idea mate, upvotes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a single penguin in this world that has my strength or reach. So if I can hold something at bay, I see no reason why I couldn't "win." I'd take that chance for sure!

Left he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Birds are surprisingly strong, and penguins are fast, and that beak is nasty. Still I can think of plenty of ways that I could win, especially for $1,000,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesomeness Summoned he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I have a lot of confidence around animals but you have to face biology. Humans just aren't made for direct confrontation without our tools. I'll agree with you Falcon and say coyotes/dogs would probably be my limit. Anything that weighs more than me and has sharp claws/teeth/horns will likely end me. Your comment on penguins Caleb made me think of something that always makes me laugh. Why do people runaway from an animal that poses no real challenge to them at all. The biggest example of this is ducks. Why do people run in terror when a duck chases them? As Falcon said, I don't condone harming animals for fun but I also won't back down from one that has no business attacking me. I had a duck come after me for no reason once. I'll just say I played a lot of soccer growing up and things didn't end well for that duck. A penguin would make a decent soccer ball as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 If you kick a Penguin between the Legs, will it react in the Same way you Human Males do? (Do Penguins even have Legs? It just looks like feet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodfalcon he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 But Morgan Freeman already taught us everything we needed to know about them didn't he? I know for fact that my mind purposefully erases memories of things I learned from Morgan Freeman. It does that so that I'll have to go back and listen to Morgan Freeman's voice again. I can't tell if it is a subconscious function of my mind, or a subconscious function of Morgan Freeman's voice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesomeness Summoned he/him Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I've watched too many of the "True Facts" videos. That guy's voice creeps in now whenever I hear Morgan Freeman talk. "That is how the penguin do."

Baine he/him Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 ...So I can't use a knife or baseball bat or steel pipe or other weapon? That narrows the list. Also, Bobcats are kinda small. I'm 6'3". I can kick that thing into oblivion. I think I could also handle a wolf or something similarly sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd be too fast for me. I don't think I could land a good enough kick. But bobcat is on the safe side i guess. I would want to be certain.

Claincy he/him Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I reckon I could take on a wild boar So really, err, maybe a bunny? How about a really big bunny? Seriously that thing is about 40% of my weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll go Lightweave something to distract it while the poor innocent children run for their lives. No weapons, no children. They can be used as a weapon. It is just you and [animal] in an arena on the terrain of its choosing. (NOTE: No matter how stupid an animal is, it will never choose the wrong terrain.) Gummi Bear. Note: you have to bring enough to share with everyone. And fight them all. Edited May 6, 2014 by Bloodfalcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
