World's Hardest Creature X: Group B

[Stat Brother]

We need an answer to the tough questions first:-

 

[MattBackHome]

Walrus by a mile. The males spend the entirety of their land lives fighting each other.

 

[highflyer]

Praying Mantis.

Attacks birds, spiders and SNAKES!

Hard.

Spiders...maybe.
Birds and snakes? Yeah right.
Prove it.

Edit: sorry hadn't noticed video post #7
Not bad actually.

A seagull? A giraffe? A racer snake? A WASP?

Group B is like Liverpool's starting XI vs. Plymouth.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Turtle is easily the hardest (and scariest) looker.

 

[sir albion]

Turtle is easily the hardest (and scariest) looker.

And the slowest

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

As a Jags fan I have to vote with the Jaguar.

Me too-otherwise i'd have voted the snapping turtle.

 

[whitelion]

The turtle looks and is scary.

 

[jakarta]

I am the Walrus...

 

[SUIYHP]

I seconded the turtle so I'm going to support it, though I admit it's primarily for its looks.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I've been saying this every year - the Mantis truly is a terrifying creation, pound for pound. It never gets anywhere though.

Probably because of videos like this of a Hornet giving a Mantis the old 'snip'!

And the slowest

Watch till the end.

Only the baby cousin of the mighty Alligator snapper, when pissed off they are no slouches!

 

[Seagull kimchi]

The Alligator snapping turtle out-lived the dinosaurs which means whatever cataclysm (think asteroid collision) wiped out those big boys 64 million years ago, well the AST shrugged it off. Ice ages - a minor inconvenience to this bad boy who gave up evolving millions of years ago because....they can't get any more bad-ass. Growing to over 100kg and a meter long and aggressive to anything in it's way this angry asshole will take on alligators and eat them. With a bone crunching, lightening fast snap and the coolest looking body armour there is - it's safe to say a Jaguar would come off second best if it was starving enough to try it's luck.

Here's a baby - see how aggressive it is instinctively when faced with Steve O's rancid arse.

This has got to be the strongest debut in history!!!!

 

[Simster]

I have had a Jaguar lick my head so can't vote for it, despite the excellent work of it's PR people getting it a slot on Sir Dave's show.

Probably just checking to see if you tasted of crocodile before on this occasion deciding not to BITE THROUGH YOUR HEAD.

And as for birds...



He even performs a death roll!!

 

[Hotchilidog]

I voted Cass but I have to say I hope the turtle makes it through. A great debutant.

Hmmm - bit of an own goal there. Following the Jackass vid there is a comparison between the Common Snapping Turtle and the Alligator Snapping Turtle which says that the Common ST is the much more aggressive of the two. Smaller, faster and feistier - sounds like the Common ST should be in the competition and that the Alligator ST is basically a pussy hiding inside a bad-ass looking shell.

Yep. Own goal for sure. Wrong turtle.

Jaguar pisses this group.

 

[KingKev]

This is a slow burn group. Was a bit 'meh' when I first read it, but there are some genuine headcase-nutter-barstewards in here. Rhino, walrus, (sea) gull - all of them will take on anything in their way. [pedantry corner: no such species as a 'seagull']
Not sure which way to go - I shall ruminate and return later.
