re: Biggest animal you could take in a fight

People forget humans are the pussies of the animal kingdom. Animals have thicker skulls and stronger musculature pound for pound than humans. The only reason we haven't been hunted to extinction is our brain.
The largest thing a person could reliably win a fight with on a consistent basis using a bat would be a medium sized dog, maybe, maybe 70 pounds.

Finally the right answer. If its domesticated enough to let you get close, one good swing to the head should at least knock it out.

Yep. We are just not built to fight like animals are.
Plenty of small animals would straight up annihilate most people

We're bipedal, which means we're slower than most animals and less balanced.
Opposable thumbs are an advantage, but our biggest advantage is our intellect and tools. Without those, we be fricked.

I for real laughed when someone said an ostrich.

I had a friend get fricked up by a mocking bird. Bloodied his scalp. It went only after him, though there were three others of us there. It was funny as hell.

I think some people think they won't be shitting in their pants when some pissed off animal with teeth and claws is coming at them.
Some of the animals mentioned are laughable.

An ostrich would be shitting in your open chest cavity before you realized wtf happened.

Birds are no joke. The large flightless birds like a cassowary are very dangerous. A person has no chance against something like that. Even a number of flighted birds would still whip arse

I don't like my chances with any wild, predator even with a large knife. I think I could take a dog with a knife though.

I would frick up a hippo. Wouldn't be able to hurt you if they can't see u

I think that if I could manage to get both hands around the neck and get a good snapping motion then maybe something would happen. Million to one shot, but I think it might be possible. The more likely outcome is that it kicks me in the stomach and I die from internal damage though.

You can do youtube searches for any of the animals listed and see how powerful they are when they need to be. We are so weak and fragile in comparsion

People think giraffes have skinny deer legs. It would be like trying to break a small tree with a bat. Hitting one in the leg is only going to piss him off and make him kill you quicker.

Oh I believe it. Ive seen a few of them mentioned up close and it would be laughable to try and fight them. I mentioned a cassowary because people mentioned an ostrich. Ive been around them and people dont realize how powerful some animals are. The speed is also frightening.
This hypothetical fight might be better without a bat. At least without a bat, you have 'some' defense against the initial attack. If you swing and miss, you are just open to disaster

I am absolutely not swinging the bat. I would jab and parry with it. It's the only shot.
