well they *can* swoop multiple times, which was my premise in a fight. but, I will allow the arguments against me. I think I lose to an eagle who knows we're in a fight but it's certainly possible I would win compared to many of the other animals. when I was at the animal rescue I just marveled at the size of eagle talons, they looked like they could swipe at my neck at any moment.
Surprised so many people voted they can beat a cobra. I guess if you count the animal dying as a win for you regardless of your predicament afterwards. But I kind of count me dying on the aftermath as taking an L. I don't see a way to get in on the snake without taking a bite. We aren't quick enough.
They’re like 30 pounds even at 15+ feet with fragile bodies. If you can stomp the body, without getting bit then you win. I’d probably have a heart attack just seeing 1 A forest cobra would be much harder. They’re way faster and way more aggressive. Can swing around and get you in a heartbeat
Hardest to kill snake rankings would be large constrictor Mamba Forest cobra Australian snakes like taipans and king browns Gaboon viper 4 and 5 could be a bit off. Bushmaster strike range is incredible
A bald eagle weighs 10-14lbs. I’d wager it’ll fuck me up pretty good but a full grown human should be a heavy favorite.
it'd almost assuredly be a suicide mission but some birds definitely are fast enough to kill humans despite their small weight. peregrine falcons go >200 mph
^ Laughing at the 27 guys who think they could beat a big dog without a weapon. Come on, guys - that fucker's gonna bite your nuts off. And then work his way up to your throat.
Tegg to Mrs. Tegg: “what’s the biggest animal you could beat in a fight?” Mrs. Tegg: “Elephant.” Tegg: “Without a weapon.” Mrs. Tegg: “Elephant.” Tegg: (laughing) “What? How would be beat up an elephant?” Mrs. Tegg: “I’d bring a mouse.” holds up
I’ve watched chandler, Tyler and dingo enough times I am pretty sure I could not only handle a king cobra but easily beat it
Guy I used to work with had a pitbull. This dog was not a fan of cats and he'd often have to hold her back if she saw one. One day a stray got into his yard somehow and the pitbull took off after it before the guy could stop her. Cat ran under the house and the pitbull followed. The cat seemed to be toast. Not long after, the pitbull came running out from under the house all clawed to hell and the cat was fine. I guess what I'm saying is I can take a house cat but you gotta even go into that one ready to take some damage.
I love the idea that an eagle, which literally has the agility and coordination to catch hyper alert fish under fucking water while swooping in from above water at high speed, wouldn’t absolutely demolish your skull on first pass, open up your head on the second pass and then eat your face for dinner 15 minutes later after you bleed out. “I’d catch that thing and break its wings.” Dude eagles have wingspans like 4 feet wide and use them as part of their attacking methods, they aren’t just letting you grab that shit and your baby arms probably couldn’t even get around them anyway.
how the fuck are you guys picking king cobra? we couldn’t do shit to them without a weapon also lmao at people who voted eagle as well
You’re right. My super thick skull is easier to catch than a fish. But, shit I better look out for the eagles fucking wings to beat me up. What in the fucking world?
Already know all their secrets https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/secrets-of-the-king-cobra/2bzR1goEyQLJ
Their claws are like 3 inches and those mother fuckers can fly along while carrying multiples of their body weight. You don’t think a) it’s claws have the grip strength to fracture your skull and b) they aren’t strong enough to fight off you trying to grab it? im sorry bud, in a natural environment, you are getting smoked.
Do you think an eagle is stronger than an adult man? do you all think eagles can shoot their claws at you or something? The scratch me they have to bring their 15 POUND BODY within reach of me.
I’m sure you can bench press more than the eagle. I am not sure any strength you possess is going to be of any use in defending yourself from an eagle attacking you. No I don’t think eagles can shoot their claws. I do think you are kidding yourself if you think you can defend from a descending eagles claws when it’s closing on you at 40-50 mph. It has evolved over millions of years to use its claws to incapacitate prey larger than it. You are arguing with a stranger on your iPhone. You aren’t a fucking match.
Couple of random thoughts… I’ve walked up on a goose nest fishing and those things will scare the living shit out of you hissing and charging….no thanks. I thought I watched a documentary once that said said a male chimp will immediately go for a human males testicales and rip them off…also no thanks.
I’ve falconed (nbd) and there’s no doubt in my mind i could fuck up an eagle. Their wings are fragile as fuck and they’re useless without them.
Yeah, but they’re fast. They move at the speed of light. Sure they’re only 15 pounds max and have hollow bones, but you’re dead
You don’t even have to break a wing. If you damage their primary feathers, they’re incapacitated. The notion that an eagle would kill you is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever read.
Yeah, but have you considered really sharp claws that can scratch the shit out of you, but you can’t grab them back for some reason?
I’m starting to think some of you are basing your eagle knowledge off of 1940’s propaganda cartoons which show a 6 foot tall walking bald eagle rolling up his feather sleeves to reveal a burly arm with an American flag tattoo before he punches out Nazis
There's a pretty big youtube account of a guy in Florida that has a king cobra and literally feeds it pythons they have to euthanize in the everglades. I've owned quite a few crazy animals growing up, have been in the water with gators endless amount of times - have no interest being near a Cobra.
Eagles can't even survive our pollution so GTFO of here with that i'll just let my car idle for 30 minutes and suffocate that fucker.
I'm exponentially more shook by the housecat next to us than the lion and cheetah I see on a regular basis. Not sure why - maybe this cat is just a dick, but I will avoid a fight with a cat at all costs.
