[News] Greatest YouGov poll ever - what animal could you beat in a fight?

[Stat Brother]

In fairness to the responders although the question clearly states "unarmed" it says nothing about fully grown adult

I reckon I could take down a baby elephant.





If that doesn't win me today's award for:-

'The Most Disturbing Post' someone has issues.

I think it's more important to have an understanding of the animal and avoid the conflict in the first place.
I don't want to intentionally harm any animal.

I notice that more Men than Women believe they can take on a King Cobra and win. But in this video, a rather attractive young lady takes care of snake business without even putting her handbag down, genius.

Little known fact that after Mosquitos, Hippopotamus kill more humans than any other wild animal.
Bet if it was on that list there would still some fruit-cake that would like to take one on unarmed and think they could beat it.
Not a chance - Ha!

Including the one in the burger?

I was thinking more about unnessacary fighting with an animal,but you raise a good point.
Would I actually kill a cow,just so I can eat a Burger?I don't think I would.
I have been thinking about being a vegetarian for a while and your comment has made me realise I need to start right away.
Cheers.

The secret to dealing with cobras is being calm.
The cobra is so sensitive to chemical changes in other animals means that any fear,anger,panic etc will cause the cobra to attack.
Some Buddhists and Hindu masters perform the cobra test,and will sit with cobras and not be bitten to prove that they are in a state of such calm,the cobras do not perceive them as a threat or prey.

This has to be the funniest thread I’ve read on here for a very long time !!

 

[AlbionBro]

I regularly get henpecked, so I have no chance against any other fierce animals.

I just had a thought about what I said about Buddhist monk's and Hindu yogi's sitting with cobras.
If anyone reads that,then please don't attempt it as it takes decades of dedicated yoga and meditation practices to achieve that level of calmness.
Apologies I should have mentioned that on the original post and it was too late to edit the post.

With all, I’d use my brain, and kill it with a gun. Which is why humans should be winning the worlds hardest animal.

Honey badger hide is thick enough to take bullets, so try again.

Too late. I've already rolled out my mat and the cobras are warming up.

I'm not sure whether to be more confused by the idea that anybody thinks they could win a straight fight with a grizzly bear, or that apparently 75% of British women look at a single goose and think "no, that could definitely take me down".

How much of that is because they're American and have never heard of these creatures, except maybe in cartoons?
