2010 World's Hardest Creature, Savage 16 Round, Crocodile vs Cassowary

[turienzo's lovechild]

Game 3

Crocodile

The Monster has outlived the dinosaurs to join us in this competition. It's ferocious jaws will rip through any beast unlucky enough to be caught in it's tractor beam

Nickname- The Massive Lizard Bastard

Story so far- The former finalist made light work of group C to suggest that he has the potential to step into the Polar Bear's shoes. Capturing 41 votes, he outperformed the heavily fancied Orca.

vs

Cassowary

This mad hatter takes lessons from it's distance Raptor ancestors to unleash countless levels of pain with it's devastating claws. He enjoys attacking people and often does without remorse.

Nickname- The Disembowelment Master

Story So Far- Well, well. Drawn in the extremely tough group D, this bird was a rank outsider as it faced off against the heavyweight duo of Bull Shark and Elephant. Cassowary just pipped the Elephant to 2nd place, winning by 1 vote (gaining 36 in the process)

Really not sure which way to vote in this one.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Australias finest match up, both killing machines.

I think the birds speed may win my vote

It certainly is. I'm 60/40 in favour of the bird. I mean, how hard is an animal that can be tamed by an elastic band? But then...look at them? The croc looks so much harder.

Ahhhh - will have to give it some more thought.

 

[Andrew]

Croc for me.

But The utter RAGE of that bird wins it for me

Yeah. That's another consideration. I suspect it can get angrier than a fat kid without cake. I think unpredictability is certainly an asset of the big bird.

AND it doesn't need camouflage to hide from it's prey, like the croc.

The bird gets it.

Good call, the croc may have the power but the bird has the speed

Surley the Cassowary can't sneak through again?

The Germans of the tourny.

The Germans of the tourny.

Which begs the question, who will be the Holland of the tournament? IE falling out with itself.

And who will be the England? Hyped up but will inevitably drop out at the quarter finals.

 

[NMH]

Crocs can run at 35mph, but just in a straight line and only for a few metres.
The jaws are weak at opening, but very strong at closing, so best to hold the mouth shut if possible.
For snagging things on land it relies on surprise. In the water it will pull the prey under, and then do pirouettes until the shocked victim is quickly drowned.

The cassowary would be found wanting in the neck department, so grab and twist and it's probably in trouble.

If a cassowary got hold of a croc, I doubt it's birdy tootsies would manage to damage the skin of the croc much, and a quick bite would do for big bird pronto.

Croc.

Remember - this contest is about the HARDEST creature.

The croc attacks for food. Fair enough.

But the bird attacks because it is f***ing mental. It's like a Glaswegian in a kebab shop at 2:00am. It doesn't care who, when or why.

Bird.

 

[sam86]

Bird, Bird, Bird!
Come on.
It runs 35mph in dense forest.
It can swim.
It can kick the living shit out of you, quite literally!
It's not dull like a crocodile.
Ever see Steve Irwin try and wrestle a Cassowary?
No. No, you didn't. Why? Because that would be a stupid thing to do!
One trick pony? I don't think so. Not only does it have ENORMOUS claws, it has a very sharp beak.
I seriously reckon the Cassowary would be so sharp, as the Croc goes to bite it, it could kick the sucker under it's jaws and puncture the brain.
Ladies and gentlemen, vote Cassowary.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Crocs rule

 

[Barrel of Fun]

An easy one.

The Cassowary lost the ability to fly through sheer laziness. The crocodile is effectively a dinosaur that has survived for many millions of years.

Crocs all the way.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Not that I fear ANY living creature but I'd sooner battle a pussy old Crocodile than one of those head mental Cassowary critters

 

[Northstander]

Cassowary - This is a fckin nutcase, Ozzies advise "stay away", if this was a human, it would be known as Charlie Bronson, Britains most dangerous prisoner!

Bird.

The giant turkey attacks when scared or feels threatened. The crocodile never feels threatened.
