Well, I've been attacked by big dogs, and either "won", or ran them off, without needing stitches. So that's all I'm confident about

Hand to hand? Up to and including a large dog. Only one animal at a time, mind you. And the dog would likely tear me up good.
Armed with whatever I can get at home? Maybe up to crocodile depending on the range.
For anything else, I’m going to need to buy larger guns, or try to kill the animals with a vehicle. Depends on which vehicle and which animal. Not that I would willingly hurt anything on the list.
(The post said fight, it didn’t say “unarmed”)
Ah nice (seriously)! I can ask you how you'd go about with that cat.
In case you're serious: you will not touch them in a fight without getting more and more hurt and bleeding when getting close. Not are they fast and cover every every direction simultaneously with their flexibility but also do those claws cut instantly if required.
(not trying to convince or belittle you here. Just curious. In reality I hope we'll never find out)

I'm gonna go ahead and claim defeat over the possible fight with anything. Hell I lost a fight with hair curlers once.
One of those big white ducks with the red gullet things once trapped my son and I in a bathroom at a zoo. We were heading there anyway and my son stopped to look at it, then it start following us a little too fast so we booked it. We did our business and I forgot about the duck until I open the door and it tried charging in. I ended up throwing a roll of toilet paper behind him and while he was distracted we snuck by.
All in all 9/10 zoo day. My son still talks about the time I outsmarted a duck.
Now we know why life expectancy is lower in the US…
