***2013 Worlds Hardest Creature Competition- Semi Finals- Honey Badger vs Crocodile***

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Come on the croc!

 

[Bladders]

The Honey Badger is so hard the most powerful military force in the world named a tank after it.

I could take that out with a Ford Capri and some Boss Hogg bull horns on the front.

There is no picture of it. Because it never happens. They fight* bigger animals when cornered before high tailing it away. But they never, take one down.

*Part of their fighting style is to spray a hideous odour out of their arse. Or, in other words, they shit themselves.

A nile monitor is pretty big!!

 

[Mellotron]

Anyone can catch a snake.

Try taking down an Elephant

First hard thing I've ever seen a Croc do. Everything else he does is standard for his size and toughness of skin etc. Still going for HB as he does many more "hard" things.

like what? Other than being a bit scrappy do when it feels threatened what hard stuff can it do? Can it survive with missing limbs? Can it survive the kind of apocalypse that wipes out the most feared killing machines in history? Does it have the most powerful bite or paw strength ever recorded?

Orion Comstock? Andrea Goodnight?

I haven't often seen Crocs taking on groups of animals bigger than it. Regardless of winning or not, that's the sort of thing that should be filed under hard.

The bit in bold actually WEAKENS your argument. If he's that tough, everything's easy for him. Thus, not hard. EASY.

The WHOLE point re: the Honey Badger is that it's a "scrappy do" type little shit. But (for the 40,000th) time - it DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING f***. That's the essence of hardness.

Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of respect for the HB, it deserves its place in the latter rounds of this competition and I expect another monumental tussle between the croc and hb. However it only has one stand out feature...its aggressiveness when it feels threatened. The croc on the other hand has a whole arsenal of 'hardnesses'.

Croc - As a protest vote against the Honey Badger....How on earth that beat Great White Shark in the last round, I'll never know.

Too many people are seduced by this HB is the hardest nonsense.

 

[Seagull27]

A croc gets CONFUSED if you run in ZIG-ZAGS.

That's not hard, that's SOFT.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Crocs have been around since the dinosaurs. That has to add to their hard points. Hardness by association.

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Just eating a Shark, probably a Great White.

Just swam up the river...

Probably heard about how HARD the Croc is and wanted to have a go.

I'd say it's more mental that hard then.

The croc rest's his case

Ridiculous. There were no cameras back then.

Notice the Seagull getting in on the action

What I love are the GULLS waiting to get their kicks in when both of the big lads have tired each other out.

Being hard is being able to dish out severe punishment but it is lso being able to endure severe punishment.

The crocodile can do both and then some.

It has the most powerful bite of any animal in recorded history. ( Crocodiles Have Strongest Bite Ever Measured, Hands-on Tests Show )

Once it has clamped it's incredibly poweful jaws over its prey, it drags it into the water and commences its trademark killing move(no other animal has a trade mark killing move) The Death Roll.

In terms of punishment, they can survive even with torn of limbs or tail. (Supersize Crocs - Crocodile Secrets of Survival | Nature | PBS)

On top of this is the fact that that 99.9% of all the species that have ever burrowed, slithered, crawled, walked, hopped, ran ,swam or flown on/over/in the earth have gone extinct. Nature, mother nature if you will, is the ultimate arbiter of who survives through the process of evolution and natural selection. The crocodiles have been around for 200million or more years. And for the last 80million years or so they have more or less stopped evolving. That is to say they've reached near evolutionary perfection. Nature cannot make them any better. It's what allowed them to outlive the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs, who lest we forget, are some of the all time hardest creatures. Yet whatever catastrophe it was that spelt the end of these fine beasts the crocodiles were impervious to it. They just carried on being the epitome of evolutionary perfection.

That is seriously hard.

And, as a bonus, they can go a year without eating.

Vote CROC

Exactly. You can't read this and seriously consider voting badger. 200-300 million years of evolution - what a beast. WHAT a beast!
