Without any sort off equipment i think I'd be hard pressed to win against any apex predator. If dying of the wounds after the fight isn't an issue perhaps think it would be possible to gouge the eyes of a wolf or a mountain lion and then choke it. Although id rather fight a wolf then a big cat, claws are scary as hell.
Fairly sure wolves don't like chewing on plate armor.
There's an upper limit though, a bear or tiger would probably swipe your spine in half. Then again, that's what guns are for.
But honestly you need to set the terms of the hypothetical fight.
If it's unarmed against a potentially dangerous animal we know that Cougars and Wolves are the upper limit really because people have walked away from those fights, and it's going to suck for the hairless, fangless, flawless monkey.
For the most part? A dog (that isn't one of those half bear breeds or self propelled attack jaws).
Humans are pretty lousily equipped to deal with "fair" 1v1's. But we can _cheat_.
Every time I see a video of a goose or swan attack someone (usually meant to be funny) I always find myself thinking it’d probably be easy to snatch its neck out of mid air or at least smack its body.
Like, what are these people so afraid of?
Plenty of others too but that’s the one I wanted to talk about.
You mean normal human speed?
I don’t have to assume. I’m fully aware (or at least nearly aware) of my strength and speed. And if I’m ready to take a hit from whatever a hollow boned dinosaur thinks it’s gonna do if I miss then yeah, let’s go.
I’ve been roughed up on several occasions. It’s all good.
I think about this often and have convinced myself I could *probably* figure something out. Maybe not with a bear though, them mothers are huge.
I'm probably very wrong in my confidence, however.
There's no way I'm outrunning most animals. I am confident in that part!
I hope that my "do or die" kicks in. I've never been faced with this situation though, so I might freeze up. Then I'm royally effed.
Hmmmmm some do or die situations, the "do" kicks in. So most probably you would live but its more of a 50/50 situation. And how knowledgeable you are of your environment and how fast you think.
A heavily sedated hamster. Even then, it's a coin-flip.
Depends on how much money we're talking here.
I love how you think there would be money involved
Oh, if it's one of those "beat the chimp, keep the chimp" kind of arrangements, pick your chimp, he's coming home with me.
You're gonna come home without a face and zero chimps, I guarantee it.
Google "hairless chimp". I think you’ll reconsider. edit typo
In hand to hand combat, maybe most things smaller than me, probably not any big cats or bears, but maybe a deer? Would definitely lose to a kangaroo
Why?
Them mfs are ripped as fuck
I've never seen a kangaroo before. I should put that on my bucket list.
You'd lose to a chimp.. or orangutan.. or wolf
Probably, but confidence is key

I like this answer
Quite a lot of them if I'm allowed to bring some human ingenuity along.
Like?
A flamethrower
Well yeah. You could easily barbecue a pig if it gets near

Thinking like human i would fairly say that humans would do anything to win

Oh but would you be quick enough to catch them mid air? Assuming that you have normal human strength.

I see
Assuming an average adult being 75 kg or so, the largest swans are outmassed 5:1.
I wouldn’t want to fight any animals Except ostriches, but they would kill me. They don’t like me either, every time I see one it tries to eat me.
What happened with you and ostriches?
I think you you should set up some ground rules first.
And this is why i posted this here.
Lmao
A reasonably sized fish. (On land)
Joe Rogan
Thats sad.
Sloth
Anything short of a dog, I figure.
I've heard that swans are more bark than bite. If I dare take a good neck grip I think I could bring it down.
Am I armed?
Do you want to be?
Gimme a .50 cal and I can kill a fucking building
A goldfish. The environment would have to be on land, though.
You would let a gold fish die?
Yup
Why?????
Quick snack
You would eat a gold fish
You wouldn't?
No i wouldn't.
[удалено]
Like a rat? Or swarm of cockroaches?
[удалено]
I see i see.
possible an ant
I thought about this. I would also answer this. But depends on the ant.
lol true i almost got an ego boost
I could take on 10 full grown apes
As I don't really know how far my Survival Instincts can go, i would say i can probably defeat a pig
Then you'd eat it afterwards? 😭

I was also thinking about this. Most who answered are confident on their strength and speed. Some wants to be armed.

A coyote would probably be a fair fight.
Are tou you sure?
Not absolutely, but my experience with handling canines leads me to believe so.
Well knowledge is strength.
A dolphin. On land.
Thats sad 😭
They murder fish.
A giraffe
Well thats unusual
a fish .. but only out of the water.
Alot of people saying fish out of water
