A lot of that depends on if you're motivated to actually hurt the animal. A goose is like 20 pounds and has fragile, hollow bones. You can easily beat it in a fight.

But in reality, people lose to the goose because the goose is giving it's all, and the human doesn't actually want to hurt the goose. Weight class matters a lot. I mean, it's just an animal. You'd have to be pretty sick to actually try to hurt most of these animals. A cobra would probably result in you killing each other. 0% of people could be a lion, gorilla, elephant or bear.

The chimp has FOUR, count ‘em, FOUR opposable thumb digits. If I get a wolf’s back in a chokehold it might not be able to get out, but a chimp would simply reach back and tear my eyeballs out or my jaw off.

Anyone who thinks they can fight a chimp has a chimpbrain.

If it's a kill or be killed situation, I'd rather fight a wolf than a chimp, but I wouldn't put money on me in either case.

(Actually I would put everything I own on me because if I don't win what the gently caress do I care about losing money in addition to being dead).

I'm more concerned that 28% of us would roll over for a single rat. Though looking at our recent political history maybe this isn't that surprising after all.

Its this.

The bear? Probably going to kill me, hopefully fast. (I don't think I can beat one in a fight)
Croc? Definitely going to kill me and it'll be pretty quick.
The chimp? PROBABLY going to mutilate me and leave me alive a'la 'To The Pain' Princess Bride style.

In a fight between me and a rat I don't think either of us would "win" because we'd both be trying to not fight each other. If I needed to kill a rat I would not "fight" it, I'd set a trap.

I wrestled a llama once, and won. This was in a forest so it was a fair fight. Fucker spat on me though.

I firmly believe I have won in hand to hand combat against the largest or at least in the top five largest animals of anyone on the forums. Llamas are huge.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
The fact that 28% of people apparently don't think they can beat a rat in a fight shows that people answering these sorts of surveys have very different definitions of "win."

No human is going to lose to a rat in the sense of "the rat is triumphant and the human dies." But if your definition of "lose a fight" is "get injured", then maybe you're afraid that the rat bites you before you, idk, loving crush its tiny bones with your bare hands because you're a few hundred times bigger than it. And because you're not confident in your ability to not get bitten, you say "no." Or, as Tiggum suggests, maybe they're including "being able to track down and catch your opponent" as part of the "fight".

Can I "win" in the sense of "sustain zero injury and kill my opponent"?
Can I "win" in the sense of "sustain no permanent damage and kill my opponent"?
Can I "win" in the sense of "kill the animal and still be alive (but perhaps maimed)"?
Can I "win" in the sense of "scare off the animal and get away alive"?

So one's response to the survey not only depends on how confident they are, but also in how they interpret the question. So I think that's why these survey responses are always closer to 50% than you'd expect (in both directions). Those crazy 8% of people who think they can take a lion surely includes a lot of deluded toxic-masculinity-brained morons who think they could kill a lion unscathed, but also people who might be just thinking, "I can wave my arms and scream at it until it goes away," which is probably true, and considering that as having "won" the "fight".

Bears will kill you and eat you.

Rhinos will kill and eat you.

Chimps will just gently caress you up and then eat you and if you die, well, poo poo happens.
