Stroop There It Is posted:THE OPHIOPHAGUS DEFENDER HAS LOGGED ON. King Cobras can get up to 18 feet long, have a strike distance of 7 feet, are shockingly strong and fast, and their venom can kill you in a half hour. The reason they don't kill more people is that they aren't very aggressive toward humans (except when there are eggs to protect) and prefer to flee rather than engaging. You might kill it if you manage to get a hold of it, but does it count as winning if you die afterward? It doesn't say anything about size requirements, same with the elephant, could just fight one of those island ones that are the size of like, a big dog.

Yes, challenge said nothing about it having to be a non pyrrhic victory, most people could probably beat most of em by jamming their arm down their windpipe, sure you'll probably lose the arm, but you'd still win

Geese can break your bones with a flap of their wings, no joke.

Their bones are literally spongey and like 1/10 as durable as yours and could never break your bones unless you removed their bones and fired them at a human using a pneumatic cannon. They can’t do anything injurious to you except a minor pinch or scratch. If they are actively attacking you you can literally ignore them and be no worse off.

Years ago I had a summer job catching swans and geese trapped in people's gardens. A large towel is enough to subdue a large swan so you can then grab its neck and wrap your arm around their wings and body so they dont flap. They sound and flap like demons but once you get past that they are easily taken care of. Canadian geese will shut up quickly if you knee them in the chest if they fly up to you and do that half flying flap attack, but you run a big risk of getting hit in the nuts, and that does hurt A LOT.

Geese can sense fear. You walk around looking like you'd like to show a goose who's boss, a goose isn't going to gently caress with you. Now a swan? I would run away from a swan. Mostly because they're so pretty and I would not want to hurt one.

Bug Squash posted:The chimp is easily the most underrated animal on that list. Having seen an alpha chimp decide another chimp was on his poo poo list, there's just no way a human is surviving. I think those 25% of men have a mental image that's a juvenile female, since those are the ones that usually get filmed on TV since they are less likely to go kill crazy if slighted. Yeah chimps (and gorillas for that matter) are absolutely swole and would wreck any adult man even without factoring in the teeth. Those things have muscles that would put a bodybuilder to shame. Humans evolved to be tall, lean, hot-weather persistence hunters whose best strategy on the savanna is to just jog after prey for miles until it collapses from exhaustion, and as a result we lost most of our muscle mass. Chimps didn't and even the ones that sit around in zoos all day are jacked compared to a human.

Chimps are much stronger than humans on a pound-for-pound basis. Chimps are a lot smaller than us, though, so the actual strength difference isn't that big. They're still insanely vicious and will use their teeth to gently caress you up. Gorillas are also much stronger than humans on a pound-for-pound basis, but they're also much larger than us. Don't gently caress with a gorilla.

https://i.imgur.com/1xaIrQ6.mp4 Tangentially, Zoo Nebraska is a good (nonfiction) book about a primate preserve in the middle of Nebraska, of all places, run by a guy who was going to work with Dian Fossey before her murder. Heads up: if you like chimpanzees you will understand but not like the way the story ends.

Weirdly, for some reason I'd thought cucumbers were native to North America. It turns out I'd been thinking of "wild cucumber", which is a set of plants that superficially resemble cucumber during their non-fruiting periods. Today I learned!

Before the dispute came to blows or bitterness, they decided to settle the question with an actual race, one of 22 miles. The race was such a spectacle that it has become an annual event, each year attracting hundreds of humans and dozens of horses.
