A ostrich would destroy a human. Also nothing a human can do to hurt a cow without getting your face kicked in or a horn in your arse.

I can’t believe all these people are saying cow I worked with them a ton growing up and there is no way a human could choke it out or break its legs.

If you’re going to go mortal kombat with an animal, you should at least feel proud of your conquest. I’d feel bad about biting chunks out of a manatee.

That said, you have to find one that has some nice boat prop gashes already. Would be a little easier

I think it might make a difference how much preparation is involved. If you take a group of physically impressive humans, train them for years in things like fighting techniques, survival skills, the strengths and weaknesses of the animals they will be facing, physical training, martial arts, etc., then narrowed them down to the best of the best, I'd guess that person would have a lot better chance of taking down some bigger animals than most of us.

Also depends on just how strict the ban on using weapons is. Can you pick up handfuls of dirt to try to obscure their eyesight? pick up decent size rocks lying around? Pick up sticks lying around? Can you let your nails grow out and sharpen them? Maybe find supplements that will harden your nails?

Just a little heads up: Ostriches weigh 250-300 pounds, run 45 miles an hour and can kick a lion to death. Stay the frick away from ostriches.

That Kangaroo scene always cracks me up. Kangaroo takes the punch and stands there like "what the frick did you just try and do?" And the guy backs down.

Nope. Barring physical deformity, every normal human has the capacity to run for longer than any other animal. We just don't need to do that anymore

God I love these threads.

"Wolf"

Nature's perfect murderer is not going down 1v1 against anything

"Ostrich"

Would kick the average OTer in the chest so hard that his heart would stop beating almost immediately

"Cow"

Please close your eyes and try to picture an OT baw from New Iberia trying to right hook a cow so hard that it literally fricking dies.

"Bobcat"

It's possible but holy shite would you be fricked up. I've had a 15 pound housecat scratch the shite out of me DEEP and it hurt like hell. Not to mention the agility and speed - how would one even attack something that damn quick?

"Dog"

Depends on the breed. Great Danes are gentle giants, but I'd still hate to piss mine off. German shepherds and pitbulls would destroy an average man. Chows aren't big but they're mean as shite.

"Small rodent"

Good luck catching it and choking it out without getting bit and contracting rabies.

"Manatee"

What kind of evil bastard has it within them to attack these fat babies? I'm not even entertaining that hypothetical.

Could a man defeat? Probably quite a few of these are possible

But if we are talking most people being able to win most of the time and not have it wreck their life... very few.

Like a skilled fighter/hunter could probably get lucky against some of these beasts but your average poster isn’t making it to work the next day for much larger than about a beagle.

People are missing the point about humans being able to run large distances. Not all large animals are going to turn and attack. You stalk an animal that flees as it’s response instead of fight until it collapses, jump up and down on its throat.....profit.

How about, can I take my time and make the animal sick? I could get a cow sick enough that it lays down and then I could probably kill it by puncturing it's belly and having it bleed out. I could probably do the same to other animals. Give that fricker some bad food or water and then just wait.
