I don't think you understand what the Apex in the term apex predator really means

You're right. Seven billion of us rule the planet over every other animal on the fricking planet, but we'll just discount the fact that our brains and our ability to fashion tools are what allowed us dominion.

fricking idiot.

That's the point. The ability to create and use tools is a natural trait of humans. Not to mention our world's best ability to long distance run. Can't discount our ability to survive traumatic injury also.

You are so stupid. We have intelligence, and an opposable thumb, which has allowed us to use tools and weapons that make us the ultimate apex predator. If we wanted to, we could make every animal in the OPs list extinct. Saying we arent number 1 is assinine

Not an Apex Predator. Killed by Orcas regularly.

My top 5:

1) Human
2) Orca
3) Tiger
4) Lion
5) Eagle
6) Wolves
7) Polar Bear
8) Pelican
9) Saltwater Croc
10) Komodo Dragon


I like your list, however I disagree with a few things

Without bringing something extra to the fight, humans aren't close

I would switch Pelican with Falcon... Peregrine Falcons will frick up a Pelican... they do it all the time in California

Ahhh, the old "I realized my argument was dumb so I'll pretend I'm trolling" tactic.

The other animal has every opportunity to bring other things to the fight. They cant though, which is what makes us the apex......

It's 2 different arguements.


Human is the apex in the real world, but if we're going solely off of natural physical traits, we're not even close

The ability to think, grab, and create arent a physical trait?

If you want to start a thread, saying who would win a fight with no outside weapons involved, go ahead. But within a thread about apex predators, you can not take away weapons

I legit laughed out loud reading this. You know you're in some shite when this seems like a valid alternative.

Depends, that all takes planning. Some other animals plan their attacks and use topography etc to their advantage


It depends if we're talking dropping a human and a bear into a cage without warning, or if the predators are allowed to plan, build, etc

Sure, we could nuke every animal out of existence... but where humans exist with these animals, it's a much different story... Lions and Tigers kill humans all the time without "muh gunz"... only proving pound for pound that humans aren't Apex... its a FACT

And again, without any weapons, humans are useless

In one breath you say we can make them extinct, and in the other you say we arent Apex

This is a bad argument to make. A dude killed a grizzly with a 6" buck knife once, but I bet he'd tell you he was lucky

With a weapon i'd give him a 50/50 shot... without, he's food

Why are you dropping us into a pen? Drop us into a fire pit with a rope ladder instead. Adding qualifiers is dumb

If God came down, and said he has started a thread on his Godly tigerdroppings wondering who was Apex on earth, so we all need to see who can prove their #1 apex status, we would have the lion, tiger, orca, and whoever else wiped out in a week.
