World's Hardest Creature X: NOMINATIONS thread

[Bry Nylon]

The naked mole rat is small, blind and lives underground...more incredibly they don't get cancer!

That's only because they can never find their fags.

 

[beefypigeon]

Just to put it beyond any doubt, I'll nominate/second the Honey Badger (peoples champion). Would be good to see a fair competition this time around.

Wolverine - Seconded.

I'd also like to nominate the Tasmanian Devil.

 

[TheJasperCo]

I shall endorse the COCKROACH.

Not many multi-cellular organisms can withstand loss of limbs and the effects of nuclear fallout and survive on detritus and shit.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Orca
Seagull
Lewis Dunk

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Hmmm, this is a good point. The Tardigrade has been a previous competitor but I'd never realised that it was a group of animals rather than a single distinct one. I'm minded to let it enter as it's previously competed and has no real chance of winning. If any other phyla get nominated then they will not be allowed entry.

That's my decision and it's final. Unless the majority want the Tardigrade out then like Donald Trump I'll clean house of the alien buggers.

I will second the specific species of tardigrade called Ramazzottius varieornatus, which is arguably the toughest of all the species.

 

[sir albion]

The Siberian Tiger

Beaten semi finalist last year and hopefully will go all the way this time around

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Mantis shrimp = hardest of the hard

 

[Pevenseagull]

I will second the specific species of tardigrade called Ramazzottius varieornatus, which is arguably the toughest of all the species.

It's the one that didn't mind in the slightest being left to float in space for a while.

HARD.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Might of been mentioned already but..

Paraponera clavata - Or the Bullet Ant.

This bugger packs a punch.

 

[Shy Talk]

Walrus seconded. And the Northern Goshawk as a Nomination.

Goshawk seconded.

 

[pasty]

I would normally nominate the most deadly Spider (in term of venom, The Brazilian Wandering Spider) but this year, after watching Planet Earth II. It HAS to be the Jaguar. Having the balls to hunt and kill Caiman's (a deadly predator in his own right) should see him challenge for the later rounds.

#TeamJaguar In Attenboroughs own words, "The killer of killers"

If this hasn't been seconded yet, I second it.

 

[OzMike]

Komodo Dragon, just one bite and it's all over.

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Alligator snapping turtle.

 

[OzMike]

Alligator snapping turtle.

It snaps alligators, the winner by a mile.

 

[Withdean11]

Another from Planet Earth II

"The Glass Frog"

The hero frog defends its unborn from killer wasps by Kung Fu inspired kicks!

 

[jimhigham]

I've always been Team Honey Badger but I can't help thinking that the little loon's chances are damaged this year by his resemblance to Donald Trump.

How about a Bullet Ant? A bite so painful you'll feel like you've been shot for a day? Moderately hard.

*The Ramazzottius Varieornatus is a form of Tardigrade. It was brought to my attention that the Tardigrade is not actually a beast but a phylum(i.e class of beast) rather than a single beast. The R.V is a single species of Tardigrade and has been nominated to take the place of the phylum Tardigrade.

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

My first year of actually nominating but this creature is too mental not to be nominated

Bulldog Ant

Yes it's an Ant - but it holds a world record for being head mental and despite it's size has killed humans

http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-dangerous-ant

'In attack it uses its sting and jaws simultaneously. There have been at least three human fatalities since 1936, the latest a Victorian farmer in 1988.

The bull dog ant earned its name because of its ferocity and determination during an attack. It is extremely aggressive and shows little fear of human beings, stinging a number of times in quick succession and therefore injecting more venom with each bite. In an attack, the ant will hold on to its victim with long, toothed mandibles, curl its body underheath and thrust its long barbless sting into the skin. On a few occasions this sting has been enough to kill adults within 15 minutes.'

Having been bitten / stung by one of these I can confirm it was like somebody screwing in a red hot screw into my ankle bone (that is where it got me) i jumped in a lake (was playing golf) to escape them and one of the little (well actually large) bstards started swiming after me. It hurt that much i almost lost control of.my bowels. Seconded...

 

[Withdean11]

Komodo Dragon, just one bite and it's all over.

Seconded

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

The Malayan Sun Bear. Great effort last year and an outside bet to take the anniversary title.

Watch this double-hard psycho ****nut deal with some mob handed tigers (the bengal type) who wrongly decided to **** about on his manor.

Seconded
