I'm just pointing out that being able to swim for miles is not something I would deem hard. It's more the purpose of the swim that's impressive in this instance. Having said that, how impressive is killing a shark really? No species of Shark even made the competition this year, and...

I completely agree. But it's also not the 'fittest' animal contest either...

Here's an account of someone who supposedly witnessed an actual Honey Badger vs Hippo stand-off. Seems legit going by the 32 pages of blog posts this user has contributed to the website in question: https://hluhluwegamereserve.com/hippo-honey-badger-stand-off/ A rustle in the bushes and the...

SWC is a fine, fine beast. For sure. What works against it, for me at least, is the obviousness of its hardness. If I had easily the most powerful bite in the world, I would abuse this trait. What does SWC have to fear exactly? He doesn't have to demonstrate any mental toughness in the...

I'm hoping it's our Cardiff!

Nobody had better than a 6 rating today: Stockdale - Bar the one obvious error, I thought he played OK and was one of our better performers. Made a fantastic save in the first half and couldn't be held accountable for the other two goals. Back 4 - All looked over exposed by a completely absent...

Negatives: It was a truly very poor performance today, it was men against boys. Two bad performances in a row. Another tough away match coming up very quickly. Injuries/Suspensions to deal with. Teams behind us continuing to put pressure on us. Positives: Every goal we conceded today had a big...

I think the side depends so much on whether: - Akpom is deemed good/fit enough to slot straight into the starting line-up. - Baldock is fit to make the bench. If we start with Murray and Hemed, I would start Skalak purely for his set piece delivery. I would also play Skalak on the right and...

Despite its size working against it in my opinion, I still think the Hippo is the harder of these two beasts. Picking a fight for no real reason at all is an impressive hardness trait in my book.

2012 baffles me

Nobody is suggesting a Siberian Tiger would lose in a fight to a grasshopper mouse are they. Anyway, a tiger killing a mouse would not deem it even remotely 'hard', would it! Still people are completely misunderstanding this competition after 10 years!

Oh no, far from it! I mean CMS was more in the Baldock/Barnes ilk, of contributing a lot to the team without scoring many goals of his own. Don't get me wrong, he certainly failed to deliver on the big price tag and the expectation that came with it. I just think to say he was a complete...

Underachiever, yes. Complete failure, not so much! He bought a lot to the team without being as prolific as we all wished he was (i.e. Barnes/Baldock). Remember him having some great games for us. See Ryan Harley for those that fall under the complete failure bracket!

Newcastle were too good to go down last year

This. Crazy really. Not to mention Henri Lansbury and talk of Conor Hourihane!

I would also argue that the climate you live in does not constitute a great deal to how hard something is. Creatures adapt and evolve to their climate. It depends how you measure hard I guess, but for me its a personality trait rather than a capability trait.

I think Van Aahnholt is actually a pretty decent player, probably one of Sunderland's best. Can't see him having that much of an impact though, being a full back an' all. He hasn't managed to keep Sunderland out of the relegation zone, and £14m is a hell of a big fee.

Close one. Kind of need to see some supporting evidence, particularly for the Malayan Sun Bear here. Both have formidable weapons, but for me I want to know which creature has the bigger 'never say die' and 'fight against all odds' attitude.

This. Might as well just call it the "strongest and scariest apex predator competition". ST has some hardness traits for sure, but anyone basing their decision on which animal would win in a fight is completely missing the point!

OK, but how does that make the cat hard exactly?
