Polar Bear walking next door to the seals would be a bloodbath.

Jaguar is actually a good call. They are small and nimble enough to get into most enclosures. Great climbers. And they have an insane lb. for lb. bite force.


This ^

Along with the fact that the Audubon jaguar was supposedly only loose for an hour and got 8 kills and 2 more injured. Imagine the death count if he'd have gotten loose in the middle of the night and had several hours to roam free. Would've been the Indominus Rex of the Audubon Zoo.

That is the exact conversation I had with my wife about this...that was a short time vs. damage ratio...Those dudes don't play!

A lot would get out and not know wtf to do afterwards. They'd probably just stand around unless someone pissed them off. I'd be most worried about one of the big cats or one of those giant make silverbacks. They're always looking to brawl

Fat fingered down vote. Wanted to up vote.
I think a Siverback has to be one of the strongest animals on earth. One on a rampage would be deadly. IMO

Carnivore - Jaguar or tiger and maybe a lion

Herbivore - Hippopotamus or Cape Buffalo bull. Those would be very difficult to recapture, not to mention deadly.

And for what reason? I had not heard about this... WHY?

Next they will bring black mombas and some of those nasty arse spiders from Australia.

quote:

Americans dine primarily on four kinds of meat: poultry, pork, beef, and lamb/mutton. But you might be surprised to learn just how close tossing hippopotamus steaks, ribs, and burgers onto the grill was to becoming a normal part of our culture.


quote:

There was a major meat shortage in 1910. The price of beef skyrocketed due to an incoming flood of immigration and the massive population boom that came with America’s growing cities. Farmers simply couldn’t keep up with the rising demand for beef.


quote:

If everyone was impressed with the notion of snacking on hippo jerky, why didn’t it happen? Eventually lawmakers became skeptical of the idea, and the Department of Agriculture rallied against the proposal by asserting that useless bogs and marshlands should be converted into cow pastures, and that eating hippo meat is weird. The American Hippo Bill just barely failed the vote, and the delightfully wacky concept fell into obscurity.


It's kind of a long read but interesting. I did not know this information beforehand.

Also....now I want a motherfricking hippo steak.

This reminded me of Marshawn Lynch against the Saints' defense a few years back.
