the dogs you have to worry about is the ones that are known to bite or aggresive.

Chimpanzee is way too high Jesus Christ. It goes from reasonable shot at winning but succumbing to your wounds later to 20x stronger than you and smart enough to go for the sharp bits

I mean I've been thinking about how to fight geese for a long long time now. I've got grudges.

Some of these are a grey area. I could probably be the last one standing with a wolf, but would likely die later from the damage.

Why do 5-10% of Americans think they can beat a Gorilla Lion Elephant or Grizzly Bear? Note beat in a fight as in engage successfully in combat. What do they think you are even going to do vs the Grizzly or elephant again?

Also chimps should be way further down on that list. You'd have a better chance against the wolf.

In america's defence on the eagle front, theirs are basically glorified seagulls

I'm pretty confident in fighting most things that are smaller than a dog. Once you get into dog size or larger, things get complicated.

The largest animal I think I could take in a fight is a capybara. Maybe a manatee; but only on land.

I'm good down to Eagle, and then it's straight losses.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Eagles can be huge, fly and have fuckin razor sharp meat hooks for fingers.

The challenge is to win, not walk away unscathed.

No wonder the Brits lost the 13 Colonies, mfs can't even take a goose.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

This is one of those moments when you can immediately identify who has and who has not regularly interacted with the animal in question

[–] Godric@lemmy.world -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I know right, do geese not exist in England? Or do they have special English geese that weigh 50 pounds and lack wringable necks?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 hours ago

this is kinda like mocking Aussie magpies because you only know UK magpies.

Geese in the UK are all the giant cunt species

A goose is a gangster swan, and everyone knows that they break arms.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Swans are meaner than geese by far. You don't wanna be anywhere within sight of a swan.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Drop those bars!

A goose will back off of you give it a boot to the chest. I've fought off a couple of geese and a goose-sized duck and a chest-kick is the best move. Works best of you are able to wind up and use the side of your foot like you're trying to score a sweet goal in soccer, but a regular punt gets the job done too.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

A kick or a stick is all anyone needs!

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 1 points 6 hours ago

We just took a break to watch you all fight those grizzlies.

[–] unabart@sh.itjust.works 19 points 13 hours ago

Would enjoy watching some tough guys try and fight anything from chimp on down.

β€œYeah, bro, I can totally fkn take an elephant!”

If people knew more about chimpanzees, they'd be right down there with bears and elephants. I would 100% prefer to take on a wolf or a kangaroo, taking Aussies at their word about how insane roos are, over a chimp. The chimp probably has just as high a K/D as the bear or elephant, but it's going to teabag you while wearing the face it ripped off your skull before you go out.
