I'm back working from the holidays and I'm not in the right mind frame yet. So:

If all animals/insects/birds/reptiles/etc were physically relatively equal (height and weight), who would emerge victorious?

For example: same sized bear vs iguana. Scorpion vs Hippo. Blue jay vs centipede. Etc.

Basically, which animal is pound for pound the greatest predator?

Imagine what an Ant the size of a bear could lift.

Which would win in a fight? A horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses?

A tarantula the size of a rhino would be a marvel to behold.

badgers are muther f'ers, especially for their weight. they literally crush spitting and king cobras for fun.

And, they don't give a shite

And i believe Badgers are actually Guinness World Record holders for being the toughest, pound for pound animal.

Y'all are forgetting the largest animals on earth.

The Blue Whale, plus it would have an advantage of not, you know, drowning.

I was having this discussion the other day with a coworker. Here's how it went:

Det. Terry Hoitz: lf we were in the wild, l would attack you.Even if you weren't in my food chain, l would go out of my way to attack you.lf l were a lion, and you were a tuna, l would swim out in the middle of the ocean and freaking eat you! And then l'd bang your tuna girlfriend.

Det. Allen Gamble: Okay, first off, a lion swimming in the ocean? Lions don't like water. lf you'd placed it near a river or some sort of fresh water source, that'd make sense.But you find yourself in the ocean,20-foot waves, l'm assuming it's off the coast of South Africa,coming up against a full-grown,800-pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what? You've wandered into our school of tuna, and we now have a taste of lion. We've talked to ourselves. We've communicated.

Det. Terry Hoitz: Yeah?
Det. Allen Gamble: And said, ''You know what?''Lion tastes good.Let's go get some more lion.' 'We've developed a systemo establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your pride, your children, your offspring.

Det. Terry Hoitz: How you gonna do that?
Det. Allen Gamble: We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. lt's not gonna be days at a time, but an hour, hour 45, no problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen, and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You're outgunned and outmanned.

But versus a dolphin or shark of the same size as the whale, the whale loses easily.

an eagle or other raptor bird for sure. if eagles were the size of bears, humans would have never come into existence.

That's what I was thinking. A flying predator with dinosaur DNA. Or something with weapons like a scorpion or something poisonous like a snake or centipede.
