lol such a random question for 2 threads on the board https://www.the-mainboard.com/index...ting-in-a-fight-unarmed.181942/#post-16716517
I think I could beat a kangaroo and a wolf, but I wouldn’t be the favorite. who the hell can’t beat a house cat
since the other thread had no discussion of eagles, for those of you voting that you could take on an eagle lol
for those of you who are talking up wolves, here is a video of an eagle absolutely dominating a wolf in seconds.
I read somewhere that cobras can get up to 18’ in length and can lift up a third of their body when threatened. Imagine a cobra looking at you eye-level
the funniest thing about the poll, a higher percentage of women than men think they could beat up a lion.
In fact I think most adult men could easily kill a large non constrictor snake, in a space where the snake can’t hide, but like you said, you’d be dead minutes after the snake.
that was more an indictment of how beta that wolf is than anything. if that eagle swooped down and stayed for a fight, no doubt in my mind I would break that thing.
that eagle would swoop down, crack your skull with its talons, and leave you dead in no time. being able to fly is a major advantage. you know, that and being a dinosaur that has figured out how to be a hunting machine over millions of years.
A harpy or monkey eating eagle would give you severe facial lacerations, but assuming you don’t lose both eyes and then bleed out, a 15lb bird isn’t killing you.
it wouldn't attack a human, for sure. but the premise is that the eagle and I are in a fight. I'd have almost no defense for their speed and ability to fly, teamed with massive talons. the eagle could mount offensive campaigns after offensive campaigns with no need for defense.
I think a human could (as in it’s possible a reasonably strong man could win) beat everything below gorilla on the list besides the chimp. wolf would be a huge favorite but it’s not out of the question a human could win could kill a cobra with your hands but probably die later from the poison Big dogs and eagles would do some serious damage but humans are the favorite. kangaroo seems like a fair fight goose has no shot, at least cats and rats are fast and have claws/teeth
The largest bird on earth could absolutely not “crack your skull” they are not built like a rock, they are flying animals.
I’m taking a reasonable chance on everything from large dog down. I’m not fucking with a kangaroo much less a king cobra.
if it was trying to, it could. they have talons the size of human fingers and fly at incredible speeds. it wouldn't lift me up like that wolf but I'd bleed out before I had a chance.
Do you think they can take off at the same speed as they can dive or something? They’re not the fucking Flash. And it’s not like they swoop multiple times. Once they’re engaged they’re engaged. And if I get a grip on either wing, they’re never flying again. Plus, unless I’m naked and fighting in formless void...I’m a resourceful goddamn human being. Give me a fucking rock or a boot with a good shoelace and I can nunchuck that hollow boned piece of shit on the ground
If the eagle was in my face trying to claw me, I could get my hands on it. If it get my hands on it, it's game over for the eagle. It would absolutely tear me up a bit but I'd kill it and survive.
a flying bird cannot produce the force necessary to kill an adult male unless you just don’t cover your eyes and voluntarily expose your throat.
